Frontline Therapists is a nonprofit organization designed to provide sustainable emergency mental health services to areas of need. Created in the wake of the recent war in Artsakh, with thousands of Armenian soldiers experiencing unprecedented levels of trauma from the field, the need for abundant mental health services became evident.
The Frontline Therapists team consists of professional therapists including Psychologists, Clinical Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Professional Clinical Counselors. Licensed professionals are preferred however exceptions may be made based on the review of your clinical experience and background with the approval of the clinical team.

Frontline Therapists aims to provide volunteer based therapists to fill in the gaps of therapeutic services wherever needed, including hospital settings, military bases, villages, shelters and anywhere else the need may rise. While mental health services have been steadily increasing and the stigma towards accessing these services have been shifting in Armenia, the current level of service and capacity does not meet the needs of the Armenian community. With the support of volunteer therapists, we aim to support the Armenian therapeutic community to serve the people. Frontline Therapists also would like to be a beacon of resource, by providing trainings and supervisory opportunities for Armenian therapists as well as psychoeducation to the community as a whole with trauma informed education.
