From the outside, it resembles a home. On the inside, however, it's an environment of healing for combat veterans.

Meditation, fitness and therapy session will be part of the accelerated resolution therapy. The alternative therapy is not offered through the VA and is designed to treat veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

"It's veterans helping veterans," said Brant Singletary, who is a U.S. Air Force veteran. "Combat veterans helping combat veterans."

Singletary doesn't have PTSD, but he chose to try some of the services offered at the first-of-its-kind center.

For Singletary, it offers more than just healing.

"To go through combat and have traumatic incidents or getting shot at, the average person has no idea what that life is," he said. "So, you come here and you were with guys that do."

Brian Anderson, founder and veteran, started the therapy center after he tried resolution therapy.

"I went through a session of accelerated therapy after trying tons of other therapies, and after that one session, I had no more images evading me in the here and now," Anderson said.

The center is located in the heart of Holiday, designed to serve the more than 250,000 veterans living in the Tampa Bay area.

"The I-4 corridor is one of the fastest veteran growing populations in America, so us being here is a strategic advantage for serving our warriors," Anderson said.

Anderson said he relied on donations to help fund the center. The grand opening will take place on Memorial Day (Monday, May 25).
