Accessing mental health care should not feel like another mission to complete. For active-duty service members, veterans, and military families stationed near Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, convenience and affordability matter. That is why ADR Wellness is in-network with TRICARE.
We offer service members and their families compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that is in-network with TRICARE and close to the base.
Affordable Mental Health Care for Military Members and Families
Mental health support should be accessible, especially for those who serve our nation. Being in-network with TRICARE means many eligible military members, veterans, and dependents can receive therapy services at a significantly reduced out-of-pocket cost.
TRICARE plans commonly cover mental health services such as individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy, helping military households access care for concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stress.
When therapy is affordable, it becomes easier to seek support early, stay consistent with treatment, and maintain progress over time.
Conveniently Located Near Camp Pendleton
For those stationed at or living near Camp Pendleton, long commutes can make it difficult to attend therapy regularly. Choosing a provider located close to base helps reduce scheduling stress and makes it easier to keep appointments.
ADR Wellness offers care in a location that supports consistency. Regular therapy attendance is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes, especially for trauma-related conditions and ongoing stress.
For military families juggling deployments, relocations, or demanding schedules, convenience is not just helpful. It is essential.
Care for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Military life affects more than one person. It impacts relationships, parenting, communication, and family stability. That is why comprehensive care options matter.
ADR Wellness supports:
- Individual therapy for adults, teens, and children
- Couples therapy to strengthen communication and connection
- Family therapy to help families navigate transitions, conflict, and stress
- Group therapy opportunities that provide support and shared learning
These services are designed to meet the needs of military families at every stage, from pre-deployment stress to reintegration challenges.
Therapy options at ADR Wellness are designed to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges.
Flexible Options: In-Person and Online Therapy
Military schedules can change quickly. Duty assignments, travel, and family responsibilities may make it difficult to attend in-person sessions every week.
ADR Wellness offers both in-person therapy and secure online therapy options, allowing clients to maintain continuity of care even when schedules shift or travel becomes necessary.
Teletherapy can be especially valuable for:
- Service members with unpredictable schedules
- Spouses managing household responsibilities
- Families navigating relocation or temporary duty assignments
- Individuals who prefer the comfort and privacy of home
Having flexible options makes staying engaged in therapy more realistic and sustainable.
Evidence-Based Therapies Tailored to Each Client
No two people experience stress, trauma, or mental health challenges in the same way. That is why individualized treatment plans are essential.
ADR Wellness uses a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Somatic therapy
- Trauma-focused therapies
These methods allow therapists to tailor treatment to each client’s specific needs, goals, and experiences. This personalized approach helps improve outcomes and supports lasting change.
Specialized PTSD Treatment for Military and First Responders
Post-traumatic stress is a common concern among service members and veterans. Exposure to combat, operational stress, and high-risk environments can lead to lasting emotional effects.
At ADR Wellness, specialized trauma treatment is available for military populations. Our Executive Director, Dr. Shaina Carter provides focused PTSD treatment using evidence-based methods such as:
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
These approaches are widely recognized for helping individuals process traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain a sense of control.
Additionally, many of our team members work with TRICARE and clients with military backgrounds including: Darryl Butson, Caroline Strachan, Kaitlyn Schwab, Paul Wilcox, and Renee Ridley.
Specialized care from clinicians familiar with military culture can make a meaningful difference in treatment outcomes.
Neuropsychological Testing for Veterans and Military Populations
Understanding how the brain functions is an important part of diagnosing and treating many mental health and cognitive concerns.
ADR Wellness offers neuropsychological testing services that can help identify:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) concerns
- Memory or attention challenges
- Learning difficulties
- Cognitive changes related to trauma or stress
- Accurate diagnoses that guide treatment planning
Psychological testing helps ensure individuals receive the most appropriate care and support for their needs.
Supporting Military Readiness and Family Well-Being
Strong mental health supports mission readiness, family stability, and long-term resilience. When service members and their loved ones have access to consistent care, they are better equipped to manage stress, communicate effectively, and navigate life transitions.
Mental health challenges within military families can affect:
- Relationship satisfaction
- Parenting confidence
- Job performance
- Overall quality of life
Seeking support is not a sign of weakness. It is a proactive step toward maintaining readiness and well-being.

When financial barriers are reduced, individuals are more likely to:
- Begin therapy sooner

This increased access supports healthier families and stronger communities.
