Short/Long Term Disability
Support for the mental health side of a disability claim.
Long term disability mental health support means treating more than the diagnosis. Being on short or long term disability affects your sense of purpose and routine too — our team treats both the underlying challenge and the path back to work.
WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING
Time away from work can affect more than expected.
Every situation is different. For some, the mental health impact led to the leave. For others, it developed during it.
- Difficult thoughts and feelings tied to the reason for leave
- Loss of routine and structure
- Uncertainty about when or how you'll return
- Strained relationships with employer or coworkers
- Anxiety about the claims process
- Wanting a realistic plan forward
If these feel familiar, you’re not alone — and support can help.
Built for claims and recovery, together
Trauma therapy and return-to-work planning, in one place.
Trauma therapy forms the foundation of our program, giving you a safe space to process what’s affecting your mental health and work life. Alongside that, our team includes a dedicated return-to-work treatment and planning component — identifying realistic goals, building coping strategies for workplace stressors, and preparing you for professional reintegration when you’re ready. That treatment typically combines approaches like ACT, DBT, and mindfulness to help you process what led to the leave, manage emotions day to day, and build resilience — while the return-to-work component runs alongside it rather than waiting until you feel “ready” to start planning.
