About Front Line Healing

Stuart Palmer, LCSW 

Specialized Therapy for First Responders, Veterans, and Their Families

Our services are tailored to meet the specific needs of first responders, military veterans, and their families, with a focus on addressing the mental health challenges that arise from the demands of these professions. We specialize in trauma recovery, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and the unique emotional burdens carried by first responders and veterans.

Therapeutic Modalities We Offer:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): A comprehensive, skills-based therapy for managing emotions, improving relationships, and navigating the stresses of high-risk professions.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): An evidence-based approach to identifying and changing negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A powerful trauma-focused therapy for processing and healing from traumatic memories.

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A short-term therapy designed to quickly reduce trauma-related symptoms through guided imagery and eye movements.

• Equine-Assisted Therapy: A unique, experiential therapy modality that uses horses to promote emotional healing and skill-building, fostering presence, trust, and self-awareness.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps clients identify and engage with different internal “parts” of the self in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way. Through fostering connection with the core Self—characterized by calmness, curiosity, and clarity—clients learn to unblend from reactive parts, understand their protective roles, and heal wounded or exiled parts. Positive outcomes include increased self-awareness, emotional regulation, internal harmony, and self-compassion, leading to reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma-related distress.

At Front Line Healing, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where first responders and veterans can address the mental health challenges that are often overlooked. Our goal is to help you heal from trauma, strengthen your resilience, and rebuild connections with yourself, your family, and your community.
