What is a VA Approved Mental Health Provider?
A VA approved mental health provider is a private sector healthcare professional who has been credentialed and contracted through the VA Community Care Network (CCN). These providers, like Resilience NJ, are authorized to provide psychiatric and psychological services to Veterans when the VA cannot provide the care directly. For authorized Veterans, these services are 100% paid for by the VA.

The Path to Authorized Care

To see a VA approved mental health provider, you must navigate the VA Community Care system. This process ensures that your medical records remain integrated and your billing is handled correctly by the federal government.

1. Primary Care

Discuss your mental health needs with your VA PACT team.

2. Selection

Request Resilience NJ as your preferred "Approved Provider."

3. Authorization

The VA issues an auth number (SEOC) to our clinic.

4. Session One

Begin your evidence-based treatment within 1-2 weeks.

Why Expertise Matters

At Resilience NJ, our "Approved" status is backed by clinical rigor. We integrate our specialized Sports Science and Post-Graduate research from UNIFESP into our Veteran care. We don't just treat symptoms; we help you understand the physiological biological markers of stress and trauma, giving you the tools to reclaim your resilience.

Critical Insight: Many Veterans don't realize that being "VA Approved" also means we adhere to strict 2026 data-sharing requirements. We work directly with the TriWest or Optum portals to ensure your care is documented and your benefits are protected.

Billing and Coverage

If we are your VA approved mental health provider, you will never receive a bill from us. We accept the VA Fee Schedule as payment in full. If you receive a bill, it usually means there was a clerical error in the authorization—simply call our liaison at (908) 263-1332 and we will resolve it with the VA for you.
