Dr. Decter works with clients presenting with workplace stress and burnout to heal, recover, improve resilience, and successfully return to work on a time-table designed to maximize a client’s overall health and well-being over the long-term.

For clients who are experiencing stress at work, the initial phase of treatment is assessment and diagnosis to determine how work-place stress is impacting a person’s functioning in the workplace and in their general life and relationships. Dr. Decter then helps and supports clients to communicate effectively with the workplace about their mental health needs and facilitates effective treatment and careful structuring and diligent client-centered monitoring of return-to-work plans, in order to maximize the likelihood of a successful work-return with minimum stress. Support includes providing clients with documentation for work-related problems and conditions, based upon clinical assessment, as needed.
