Counseling, psychotherapy, and family therapy are all covered benefits under TRICARE. Active duty service members must get mental health care in their military treatment facilities, but can participate in family therapy sessions with TRICARE authorized mental health providers. You can learn more about TRICARE’s mental health benefits on the covered treatments page in the Mental Health Care section of the TRICARE website.
