Together, We Heal: Reclaiming Strength with Shared Courage

Navigating the Fog of Everyday Life

You wake up already tired. Tasks feel heavy. The world seems distant, like you're watching it through thick fog. Some days you push through. Other days, the weight of it, the flashbacks, the tension, the feeling that you don’t belong anymore, pulls you down.

This isn’t weakness. It’s survival. And you're not broken.


At Safe Harbor Counseling, we understand this pain because we’ve lived it.
As a veteran who needed PTSD therapy and finally found it, I’m here to walk beside you—IGY6.

💬 "What You're Going Through Makes Sense"

Veterans often carry silent wounds:

  •  Flashbacks or hypervigilance
     
  • Disconnection from family, purpose, or joy
     
  • Trouble sleeping or relaxing
     
  • Burnout from trying to “just handle it”
     
  • Feeling like you’ve lost yourself in the transition to civilian life
     

You are not alone. These are valid responses to overwhelming, layered experiences. And healing is possible—on your terms.

👤 Meet Your Guide: Michael Mason M.Ed., LPC, NCC®

Group of soldiers in uniform, 1997, symbolizing veterans counseling and PTSD therapy.

Veteran. Therapist. Survivor.

I’m not just a clinician; I’m one of you.
I’ve worn the uniform, sat with the guilt, and stared down the kind of pain that doesn’t go away just because you’re “home.” I also know how life-changing it can be to finally talk to someone who gets it. 


At Safe Harbor Counseling of Missouri, I combine my military experience with trauma-informed Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive approaches to help veterans like you reclaim their sense of peace, purpose, and connection. 

About Michael

Together, we’ll build a therapy plan that feels grounded, respectful, and actionable—because healing doesn’t have to feel like another mission.
