CUTV News Radio spotlights Dr. Cecilia M. Corrado of Osprey Behavioral Health

Indialantic, FL – Military life, especially the stress of deployment and combat, can have significant effects on your mental health. While some of the challenges military life presents are manageable, some are not. Military personnel and veterans face unique challenges and there are many emotions involved with being at war, separated from loved ones, as well as the stressors that are inherent in multiple and extended deployments. The stress of military life can cause significant mental health issues, including, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse.

Dr. Cecilia M. Corrado is a nurse practitioner board-certified in both primary care and psychiatry.

Dr. Corrado began practicing as a nurse practitioner in 1998 in the military. Today, she is the founder of Osprey Behavioral Health, where she cares for both military and non-military patients with neuropsychiatric illness and trauma.

“Osprey Behavioral Health is a civilian practice but with my experience and our proximity to Patrick Air Force Base, we see many servicemen and women suffering from PTSD, TBI and other trauma,” says Dr. Corrado.

“I've been in this community for 18 years,” says Dr. Corrado. “When you're here 18 years, everybody else comes to you, because they know who you are and they know your work. I don't even have my name on the front door. I don't need to!”
