ImTT Trauma Therapy for Veterans & First Responders in New Jersey
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is one of the largest military installations in the Northeast, serving all three military branches. Dr. Flores provides ImTT therapy for New Jersey veterans via PSYPACT telehealth — serving the Joint Base community, Newark, Camden, and statewide.
Specialized ImTT Trauma Care — Available Across New Jersey
Dr. Flores is a nationally recognized ImTT trainer and trauma psychologist offering Image Transformation Therapy for combat PTSD, moral injury, military sexual trauma, first responder trauma, and narcissistic abuse. ImTT achieves rapid, durable results without requiring detailed verbal narration of traumatic events — making it the modality of choice for veterans and first responders who have found other treatments intolerable, retraumatizing, or simply ineffective.
All New Jersey services are delivered via PSYPACT-authorized telehealth. You do not need to travel. You need a secure video connection, a private space, and an hour.
New Jersey Military Context
NJ's veteran population is concentrated in South Jersey around the Joint Base and in Newark and Jersey City — communities where combat veterans often lack access to specialty mental health care despite living in a densely populated metro. New Jersey has over 300,000 veterans, with a substantial post-9/11 combat veteran cohort from the region's strong military enlistment tradition.
Military installations served: Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (Air Force, Army, Navy — the only joint base serving three branches) and Naval Weapons Station Earle.
Who Benefits Most from ImTT
- Combat veterans with persistent flashbacks that have not responded to EMDR, CPT, or Prolonged Exposure
- Veterans who cannot tolerate narrative exposure — who find detailed verbal recounting destabilizing or culturally incongruent
- First responders with occupational PTSD — law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers — who need a focused, results-oriented approach
- Veterans with moral injury — the specific wound of having done, witnessed, or failed to prevent something that violates a deep moral code
- High-functioning veterans and first responders — officers, senior NCOs, command-level first responders — who need an intensive approach rather than open-ended exploratory therapy
- Veterans who have tried everything and are looking for a different pathway
Dr. Flores has specific clinical experience with: combat PTSD, multi-branch service trauma, first responder PTSD (post-9/11), moral injury.
PSYPACT Telehealth — What It Means for New Jersey Residents
PSYPACT (Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact) is a multi-state licensure agreement that allows licensed psychologists to practice across state lines via telehealth. Dr. Flores is PSYPACT-authorized, which means she can legally provide therapy to residents of New Jersey without requiring a separate NJ-specific license.
There are no geographic restrictions on who she can serve within New Jersey. Rural residents, those in areas without local trauma specialists, and those who prefer the privacy and convenience of telehealth are all equally eligible.
ImTT Intensive Programs
Many veterans and first responders cannot commit to weekly outpatient therapy. Dr. Flores offers ImTT intensive programs — concentrated 2-day or 3-day programs delivered entirely via PSYPACT telehealth that achieve more processing than months of weekly sessions. You do not need to come to New Orleans. You need three focused days and a reliable connection.
