About us
At The Mission Within, we are dedicated to not only creating a future free of veteran suicide, but a better world in which our heroes and their families find purpose, healing and growth through community. Specializing in the use of Ibogaine, 5-Meo-DMT, and Psilocybin, The Mission Within offers; - Transformational psychedelic medicine retreats with specially designed clinical pathways for the treatment of mTBI, PTSD, depression and anxiety. - Personalized psychedelic coaching sessions. - Expertly trained therapists and support staff that specialize in military trauma. - Ongoing opportunities to connect with others on the healing path. - Unique opportunities for education and training in the psychedelic-assisted therapy space. Since 2017, we have successfully provided treatment for PTSD and mTBI in hundreds of special operations veterans and their spouses. Many of which present with complex cases of mTBI, PTSD, depression & anxiety. Both participants and their therapists report significant improvement in their condition, with as many as 80% no longer meeting the diagnostic criteria for PTSD. In addition to providing high quality psychedelic medicine retreats, we are also actively engaged in changing the veteran narrative around psychedelic treatment. In an effort to make these powerful healing modalities more accessible to veterans, we are actively engaging in innovative, cutting-edge clinical research. We've developed strategic partnerships with thought leaders and scientists from across the country with the shared goal of healing our veterans and their families. We won't stop until Ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT and Psilocybin are tools that are readily available to front-line providers entrenched in the veteran mental health crisis.

Topping this week's experience at the first Mystic Summit on the Future of Mental Health on Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island, BVI, will be tough. These last several years have been an absolute whirlwind. What started as a heartfelt testimonial grew to state-level and federal advocacy, and now it's gone international! It was an honor to represent The Veteran Mental Health Leadership Coalition and The Journey Home on a Veteran panel alongside my brothers, Tom Satterly and Adam Marr. Together, we shared our personal stories and hopes for the future. While it often feels like we can't work fast enough, we are gaining so much positive momentum each day. Undoubtedly, the relationships developed at this summit will take our work to the next level! #veteranmentalhealth #moralinjury #healingjourney #mentalhealth #ptsd #veterans #USMC The Mission Within All Secure Foundation Veteran Mental Health Leadership Coalition Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research Revitalist Revitalist Lifestyle and Wellness Ltd Texans for Greater Mental Health Brett Waters Joseph Peter Barsuglia, PhD Tricia Eastman Jen Satterly Reason for Hope The Journey Home

📢 Exciting News! Please Share ❤️ I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my new ebook, Transcending Trauma: Healing the Wounds of Moral Injury. It is designed to raise awareness and foster conversations about this often misunderstood and taboo subject. This is a tool I wish I had 20 years ago. Powerful Insights 🌟Gain Clarity on Moral Injury: Understand the root causes and distinct nature of moral injury and how it differs from post-traumatic stress, enabling you to recognize and address your unique challenges. 🌟Personal Stories and Practical Guidance: Learn from the real-life experiences of the author and benefit from practical advice that has transformed lives, offering you a beacon of hope. 🌟Holistic Healing Approaches: Explore a range of therapeutic and spiritual approaches, from Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) to mindfulness practices, that support healing from within. 📖 Who Should Read This? This ebook is written from my perspective as a USMC combat Veteran, but moral injury isn't tied to combat experience or military service. It is prevalent in many communities, such as First Responders, healthcare, social work, etc. Everyone should read this book! My Why: Moral injury is more than a mere psychological condition; it is a profound wound to the soul. It is not just about the psychological aftermath of trauma but about the spiritual and moral dissonance that continues to reverberate long after the event has passed, leaving the individual grappling with questions of morality, purpose, and meaning in life. Understanding moral injury as a deep spiritual wound rather than just a psychological condition underscores the importance of addressing the whole person—mind, body, and soul—in the healing process.
