Complementary and Integrative Health
CIH offers a variety of mind-body treatments and well-being classes designed to support your health from the inside out. These services work alongside your regular VA care — not instead of it — helping you build skills, reduce symptoms, and feel more in control of your well-being.
All CIH services are beginner-friendly, trauma-sensitive, and accessible for a range of abilities. Whether you are brand new or looking to deepen your practice — you are welcome here.

Biofeedback
Biofeedback Biofeedback uses equipment to monitor your body's signals — heart rate, breathing, muscle tension, sweat gland activity, and temperature — and teaches you how to manage your own stress response. It is especially helpful for Veterans managing pain, anxiety, or stress-related symptoms. Sessions are individualized and led by a trained provider.
Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical Hypnosis Clinical hypnosis helps you relax your body and focus your mind, opening the door to positive change. It may help with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, smoking cessation, and weight management. Sessions are guided, safe, and tailored to your goals.
Guided Imagery
Guided Imagery Guided imagery uses your imagination and senses to promote relaxation and positive changes to your health. Sessions may begin with relaxation techniques and can evolve into a self-guided practice you use on your own.
Mindfulness and Meditation
Mindfulness and Meditation Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment — on purpose, without judgment. CIH offers mindfulness-based classes and interventions, including practices that weave mindfulness into creativity, nature, and relationships. A great starting point for any Veteran new to meditation.
