UCF RESTORES is a treatment clinic that provides clinical services to veterans, active duty military, first responders, survivors of trauma, and community members experiencing post traumatic stress disorder and trauma-related concerns. Our team of psychologists has developed a multi-disciplinary treatment approach that utilizes technology and exposure techniques to reduce the distressing symptoms that often accompany the direct or indirect experience of a traumatic event. 

Treatment at UCF RESTORES is offered on an outpatient and intensive outpatient basis. Our 3-week intensive outpatient program (IOP) is structured to provide trauma-specific treatment for veterans, active duty military, and first responders. During treatment, cohort members will participate in individual and group sessions that target symptoms of avoidance, guilt, anger, poor sleep and social isolation.

At this time, all treatment is free for Florida residents that are active duty military, veterans, first responders, or victims of other trauma.*
