Behavioral Health: Active duty military personnel (& other eligible beneficiaries) who have psychological issues may received behavioral health care as one of their benefits via a military treatment facility (MTF). Military One Source is used by some and TRICARE remote may be used for those who do not live in vicinity of a MTF. Care is usually transitioned to the Department of Veteran's Affairs. Answer - YES.

Active duty: Military members on active duty get free psychotherapy (or they're supposed to) while those discharged or retired often have a modest copay and their insurance takes care of the rest.

Active armed service: Active armed service members are covered for psychotherapy services through their military health insurance benefits and often do not have a copayment if they see a psychotherapist in the network. You can find out who is in your network by going to the insurance provider list. For example: if you have Tricare and search for behavioral health for the zip code you would see a list of providers.
