Valor is a multidisciplinary clinic devoted to breaking the stigma and confusion about accessing help for veterans.

In case you missed it, there have been some updates that were implemented on May 1, 2026 re: insurance benefits. If you are an IFHP beneficiary (as many Veterans are), you will be required to pay a $4 co-pay on medications (new and refills) and 30% for allied health services.

This can mean one of many possible things for Veterans. For example, it could: result in financial drain as therapy can be pricy (especially if you are being seen on a regular basis); lead to reduced motivation/ momentum around the work you're doing if appointments are spaced out more; feel like another barrier in place to access help; and or prolonged suffering if access to help feels that much further away.

At Valor Care, support through our physicians remain unaffected. You need not worry about financial strain as services are fully covered for assessments which include diagnostic clarification, medication review, and assistance with documentation/ forms.

It is one less thing to have to worry about...

Ever notice how worrying about something feels exhausting at the end of the day?
Have you been trying to manage your blood pressure, but despite all interventions continue to have difficulties?
Is your motivation to do something (like the daily exercise your family physician is constantly encouraging you do participate in) linked to how you feel?

Although it doesn't always intuitively seem connected, our mental health status can affect many physical aspects of our health. From fatigue, body pains, headaches, and ulcers, to blood pressure -- all of these and so much more can be influenced by mental health challenges.

Mental health is just as vital as our physical health; they go hand in hand! Hence, the saying "There is no health, without mental health."

We tend to be our own worst critics and don't always see our strengths.

Change is uncomfortable.

All of this happens as a protective mechanism -- our brains teach us that the unknown is scary in comparison to predictable and 'safe' situations. This then instigates fear in response to a perceived threat.

That "fight, flight, freeze" response is common with elevated levels of anxiety.

Thinking about how to get to the desired outcome can be overwhelming and trigger the above response. One way to challenge this is to break down the change into smaller 'chunks' or steps. Achieving smaller steps of the process can motivate you to keep going with a sense of accomplishment.

Mental health has been and continues to be stigmatized. And these longstanding beliefs influence fear to access supportive services.

The hardest thing someone can do is to start.

Valor Care meets you where you're at and caters services to meet your needs, knowing that one of the hardest parts of therapy is to make the first move.

Humans are social creatures; there is an innate drive to connect with another person. Mental health challenges can be a barrier to this and therapy can help to uncover ways to manage difficulties that arise.

Wishing you and your crew a Happy Easter from us, at Valor. 🐣🌈🌤

Not knowing what to expect can be anxiety-provoking. We want to take that out of the mix and value transparency in all processes.

After an into call, we will book you for an assessment to help with document/ questionnaire completion (if required). Depending on your preferences, we can start therapy and or complete a medication review to best support you and your goals.

[NB: Therapy comes in many forms and we will help to connect you to the appropriate therapist (physiotherapy, chiropractor, etc.) to best support you. ]

Give us a call today (you can also text our phone number), or shoot us an email for more info. We look forward to hearing from you!

There is a lot of information out there about mental health. It can be hard to know what is myth vs true. Let us help dispell some of the noise and clarify the facts.

Ask us for a discovery call to see how else we can help.

The old kids rhyme, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" is extremely misleading; it is a phrase we may have learned and believed as kids to soften the pain of negative commentary.

However words are incredibly impactful. And this applies to both positive AND negative statements.

Bruce Lee was onto something when said what he did in his television appearance. Words have immense power and we can use it to our advantage. Let's give ourselves grace for trying the best each day and avoid falling into thinking traps which can hold us back.

At Valor, we can help to identify some unhelpful thinking patterns (which, BTW we ALL have) to encourage a different point of view in a challenging situation. Do you notice you sometimes use negative towards about yourself?
