Free counseling for those who served
RECON-NECT connects veterans, first responders, and their families with live, licensed counselors — at no cost. Because the strongest among us deserve a hand when they need one.
We connect veterans, first responders, and their families to live counselors. Free.
RECON-NECT is a nonprofit that covers the cost of therapy so you don't have to. No AI chatbot. No automated scripts. Just real, licensed counselors who understand what you've been through — available to you and your family, at zero cost.
How it works: four steps to the support you deserve
No insurance hurdles. No out-of-pocket costs. Just a direct line to a licensed counselor who gets it. Here's how we make that happen.
REACH OUT
Fill out a short form or give us a call. Tell us a little about yourself and what kind of support you're looking for. No long intake — just the basics.
GET MATCHED
We pair you with a licensed counselor who has experience working with veterans, first responders, and their families. Someone who speaks your language.
START TALKING
Meet your counselor by video, phone, or in person — whatever works for you. Sessions are scheduled around your life, not the other way around.
WE COVER THE COST
Donations from people who believe in this mission pay for every session. You never see a bill. Your family never sees a bill. That's the whole point.
A real counselor, at no cost to you
You've carried enough. Let someone help carry the weight for a while. Reach out and we'll connect you with a licensed counselor — free, confidential, and built around your life.
What veterans and first responders are saying
The app was built for people who don't talk about their trauma. Here's what happened when they tried something designed for them.
I've been through three therapists and two group programs. This app asked the right questions on the first night. No awkward intake forms. No repeating my story to someone new every month.

Army veteran, Oklahoma City
The shift that saved my marriage wasn't a breakthrough moment. It was ten nights of using counseling for five minutes before bed. My wife noticed before I did.
David R.
Police officer, 12 years on the force
I expected another app that would ask me to journal or meditate. This is different. It actually adapts. Some nights it pushes. Some nights it just listens. That matters.
