Veteran Peer Guidance

You Don't Have to Carry This Alone

 

If you're a veteran struggling with trauma, PTSD, survivor's guilt, identity loss, or thoughts of suicide — this page is for you.

 

MY FATE LLC is not a mental health clinic. Dr. Miguel De La Rocha is not a licensed therapist or counselor.

 

What he is: an Army combat veteran, trauma survivor, and someone who has sat in the same darkness you are sitting in right now.

 

Sometimes what you need isn't a diagnosis. Sometimes you just need a guide to find your way through it.

 

If you want to talk to someone who gets it — someone who has been downrange, who knows what it costs to come home, and who won't flinch at what you have to say, book your appointment now.


A Real Conversation. No Judgment. No Script.

Dr. Miguel offers free 30-minute peer conversations for fellow veterans.

 

This is not therapy. This is not a crisis line. This is one veteran making time to sit across from another and listen — without a clipboard, without clinical distance, and without pretending to understand something he hasn't lived.

 

He has lived it.

 

If you've felt like the people on the other end of a hotline don't understand what you're carrying — if military culture, combat experience, or the specific weight of service feels impossible to explain to someone who was never there — this is a different kind of conversation.

Who This Is For

This peer support conversation is for veterans and first responders who:

  • Are processing trauma, PTSD, or moral injury and want to talk to someone with a shared experience
  • Feel isolated or misunderstood by traditional mental health resources
  • Are struggling with identity, purpose, or life after service
  • Want a human conversation before, alongside, or instead of formal counseling
  • If you’re in crisis right now and nobody else is getting you

If this sounds like you, schedule your free crisis session immediately:
