About Morehead City VA Clinic
Located within the Durham VA Health Care System, the community-based outpatient clinic in Morehead City, North Carolina provides essential support for veterans facing mental and emotional difficulties. Services are not designed as a single approach for everyone; instead, the clinic tailors care to each person’s needs, using evidence-based methods to encourage recovery and build resilience. By emphasizing personalized treatment and proven therapies, the clinic works to strengthen veterans’ long-term well-being.
The center offers a broad set of therapeutic services intended to meet veterans at their starting point. For those affected by military sexual trauma, treatments such as interpersonal therapy (IPT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focus on improving emotional coping skills and supporting meaningful, lasting progress. Veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder receive care through evidence-based options including cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure (PE), which help lessen the impact of traumatic memories and support the rebuilding of safety and stability. For depression and anxiety, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps veterans challenge unhelpful thought patterns and improve everyday functioning. Substance use concerns are addressed through both one-on-one counseling and group sessions, supported by relapse prevention resources.
Guided by a trauma-informed care approach, the team understands that earlier experiences can influence the healing process and responds with care and compassion. Using the Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) model, veterans are connected with dedicated care groups that collaborate with them to develop individualized treatment plans. This integrated approach also includes on-site medical support, making it easier to manage physical and mental health together.
