More than 7,000 post-9/11 veterans, 13,000 active duty service members, as well as more than 12,000 family members in the Lawton area, are eligible for care at the Cohen Clinic. Statewide, there are more than 67,000 post-9/11 veterans, 24,000 family members, and more than 33,000 active duty service members eligible for care at the Cohen Clinic, which offers brief, client-centered therapy for a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, adjustment issues, anger, grief and loss, family issues, transition challenges, relationship problems, and children’s behavioral problems.

“The Lawton team launched their clinic and began delivering care throughout the state under tough conditions. Today we honor that commitment and look forward to continuing to serve Oklahoma’s military community. We realize this is a very difficult time for veterans, active duty, and their families between the end of the War in Afghanistan and the continuation of COVID-19, and with that can come a variety of mental health challenges. The Cohen Clinic is here to help." - CVN President & CEO Dr. Anthony Hassan.

“We are thrilled to partner with CVN and serve this deserving population. Veterans, service members and their families are such an important part of our community; we value this opportunity to serve them.”
-Verna Foust, CEO, Red Rock Behavioral Health Services
