What is the Soldiers Project?

We are a group of licensed mental health professionals who offer free psychological treatment to military service members (active duty, National Guard, Reserves and veterans) who have served or who expect to serve in OEF and/or OIF. We also provide treatment to members of their families and other loved ones. Treatment is conducted in our private offices. Our therapists are all volunteers and our services are entirely confidential. We do not report to any governmental agency.

The Soldiers Project is a component of the Ernest S. Lawrence Trauma Center of the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies (LAISPS). We are a non-profit 501(c ) (3) organization as defined by the IRS. Contributions are fully tax-deductible.

Because of LAISPS' commitment to bringing psychoanalytic understanding to underserved groups within our community it established the Ernest S. Lawrence Trauma Center. The Center's projects are run by volunteer licensed clinicians who provide free psychoanalytically-informed psychological services to "at-risk" populations as well as educational presentations to the community.
