VA Therapy Session Limits Are Cutting Off Care Mid-Treatment — What Veterans Need to Know
VA hospitals nationwide are enforcing arbitrary therapy session limits—cutting veterans off from mental health care regardless of clinical need. Providers who object face disciplinary action. This policy existed before, but enforcement became “draconian” under VA Secretary Doug Collins. Veterans with complex PTSD are being abandoned mid-treatment while the VA denies it’s happening. Mental health providers are quitting in disgust, worsening an already severe staffing crisis. The American Psychological Association is investigating. This is rationing disguised as “evidence-based care”—and it’s killing veterans.
