Stay Zero Project
Stay Zero Project
For those who serve and those who stand beside them
The Stay Zero Project is a trauma informed initiative created to support veterans, active duty military members, first responders, and their families. It was founded on one guiding principle: learning how to stay steady in the midst of chaos.
"Zero" represents a grounded state of calm and clarity. For those who face daily stress, trauma exposure, or life threatening responsibilities, staying zero means learning how to stay connected to yourself even when things around you are not. It is about restoring your nervous system, reconnecting to your body, and reclaiming your sense of self.
We understand that trauma does not only affect individuals. It affects entire families and communities. That is why the Stay Zero Project offers support not just to those who serve on the front lines but also to the loved ones who carry the weight with them.
Who We Serve
Veterans
Active duty military members
Law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, and dispatchers
Spouses, partners, and children of those who serve
Who We are
All of our clinicians involved in the Stay Zero Project are veterans or former first responders themselves. They bring not only clinical expertise, but also personal understanding of the culture, stress, and emotional toll that service can bring. This shared experience allows us to offer care that is grounded, authentic, and deeply informed.
What we Offer
Individual therapy with clinicians trained in trauma and responder culture
EMDR, Prolonged Exposure therapy, and somatic-based trauma work
Nervous system regulation techniques including resonance breathing
Family support, psychoeducation, and reintegration planning
Community outreach and workshops focused on healing and resilience
Financial Assistance Available
We believe everyone deserves access to high quality care. Through our partnership with the Honor and Courage Foundation, eligible clients may qualify for financial assistance through the Clinician Assistance Program, also known as CAP. This program helps veterans and first responders cover the cost of therapy when working with a Stay Zero clinician.

Why it Matters
Many who serve spend years carrying invisible burdens. The Stay Zero Project exists to offer support that is grounded in clinical knowledge and lived experience. Here, you will be met with care, respect, and understanding from professionals who truly get it.
You do not have to carry it alone. There is a path forward, and we are here to walk it with you.
