ImTT Trauma Therapy for Veterans & First Responders in Michigan
Michigan has over 580,000 veterans and a significant deployment history through its National Guard. Dr. Flores provides ImTT therapy for Michigan veterans via PSYPACT telehealth, serving Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Traverse City, and the Upper Peninsula.
Specialized ImTT Trauma Care — Available Across Michigan
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 Michigan 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.
Michigan Military Context
Michigan's veteran community spans both peninsulas, with a concentrated post-9/11 cohort in Southeast Michigan and rural veterans in the UP with virtually no access to specialty mental health care. Michigan has the 16th-largest veteran population in the United States, with significant rural access gaps in the Upper Peninsula.
Military installations served: Selfridge Air National Guard Base (Harrison Township) and Camp Grayling (Michigan Guard training).
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, National Guard deployment stress, rural veteran isolation, first responder PTSD (urban).
PSYPACT Telehealth — What It Means for Michigan 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 Michigan without requiring a separate MI-specific license.
There are no geographic restrictions on who she can serve within Michigan. 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.
