There are MST Coordinators and Counselors in all VISN 3 medical centers. Counseling services are also available in several of our network Vet Centers as well as benefits counseling in the New York Regional Office. All counseling services are confidential and are tailored to individual needs. Although not all services are available at each medical center or vet center, we encourage you to inquire about the following:

  • Gender specific counselors
  • Individual counseling
  • Group counseling
  • Assistance with access and linkage to all VISN 3 health care services
  • Benefits counseling
  • Information and education

Please contact your local VISN3 Medical Center or Vet Center MST coordinator for more information or to schedule an appointment.
