Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions

Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to END the veteran suicide epidemic. VETS was founded by Amber and Marcus Capone after Marcus, a 13-year Navy SEAL veteran, found healing from symptoms of PTSD and TBI in psychedelic-assisted therapies. Since 2019, VETS has provided grants for hundreds of U.S. Special Forces veterans to receive psychedelic-assisted therapy treatment outside the U.S., as well as preparation and integration coaching. VETS believes that psychedelic therapy can lay the foundation for further healing. This “foundational healing” enables continued progress across a range of therapeutic modalities, and is supported by a robust coaching program, providing a holistic treatment solution for veterans.


After serving as a U.S. Navy SEAL for 13 years with multiple combat deployments, Marcus Capone was diagnosed with PTSD. He tried multiple treatments without success. At a loss, Marcus' wife Amber chose not to give up and brought Marcus to psychedelic-assisted therapy. Marcus traveled to a reputable independent clinic outside of the U.S. to receive treatment with ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT. The treatment worked, and Marcus and Amber co-founded VETS to help other combat veterans.

“I am a United States Air Force Veteran. After my enlistment ended I was honorably discharged and continued my service as a military spouse to my husband who is a retired USAF Master Sergeant, Simon Garcia. After his retirement, he found mountain biking and joined a veteran non-profit right at its inception in 2018 called The Dirt Therapy Project (TDTP). We are now both Texas Chapter Leads & ambassadors for the program and volunteer to take veterans of all skill levels out bike-riding or hiking in the San Antonio area. I also volunteer at another veteran non-profit called Rustic Ranch. We go out to the ranch to lend a hand whether it's moving dirt, clearing land, or working the booth at their fundraiser. I also work as an assistant at an Acupuncture clinic while I finish the Texas Medical Board process to obtain my own Acupuncture license.” - Sandy Garcia
