THE MISSION

Critical Stress and Wellness Center was founded in 2023 by Dr. Mike Reeser — Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, and licensed psychologist. That background isn’t just a bio; it shapes every interaction we have with clients. We know what it’s like to carry the weight of service, and we know how to help you set it down.

Our team offers therapy, psychological testing, medication management, and specialized assessments for clients throughout Erlanger, Florence, Covington, Newport, and the surrounding Northern Kentucky communities. We also serve clients from the greater Cincinnati metro.

Whether you’re a police officer managing critical incident stress, a veteran navigating life after service, or anyone looking for skilled, compassionate mental health care — you’re in the right place.

Our services include individual, family, and child therapy; EMDR; psychiatric medication management; forensic and court-ordered evaluations; ADHD testing and psychological assessment; and specialized screenings for law enforcement agencies.
