Psychiatric Care
for Injured Workers
Evidence-Based Treatment Through the Workers’ Compensation System
Work-related injuries can affect more than just physical health. Emotional distress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, sleep disruption, and difficulty adjusting after an injury can all interfere with recovery and return to function. I provide psychiatric treatment for injured workers within the workers’ compensation system using evidence-based practices tailored to each individual’s needs.
