Holding the Line with Got Your Six Counseling
This is a space where we get real about the shit nobody wants to talk about. Mental health, life, trauma, healing, and everything in between. Sometimes we get clinical, sometimes we get messy, but it's always honest. We are just a few therapists who work with the Military and First Responder communities, trying to support, educate, and vibe with the people we serve.
