Wesley Sanders, PhD

Founder and Executive Director

He/Him

Dr. Sanders is a clinical psychologist specializing in treating PTSD and other invisible wounds of war that affect veterans and their family members. In addition to his work with Frost Call, he currently serves as the Outpatient Team Lead at Home Base, a Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Program and is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School. He is also an avid gamer (with a passionate, somewhat obsessive nostalgia for Halo 1 LANs) and a former Marine, serving 8 years in the Reserves from 2004-2012.

Frost Call was founded out of many conversations with patients who expressed difficulties with loneliness and disconnection from other veterans in their community. Many veterans—including this one—enjoy the camaraderie of gaming with friends. Frost Call serves to foster this uniquely powerful connection between veterans and support them in the journey of adjusting to post-military life.
