Workers' Compensation
Why I Work With Injured Workers
My interest in workers’ compensation psychiatry is personal.
Years ago, my mother experienced a serious work-related injury. Although she received medical coverage through workers’ compensation—including surgeries, medications, and other treatments—she continued to live with chronic pain. Over time, this affected her emotional well-being and quality of life.
Seeing her navigate that journey helped me understand how much mental health can be impacted by physical injuries and sudden life changes. It’s what motivates me to support individuals facing similar challenges—people who are trying to adjust, cope, and move forward after an unexpected injury changes the way they live and work.
What is the NCIC?
The North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC) oversees the state’s workers’ compensation system, helping individuals access medical and mental health care related to work injuries. If you're struggling emotionally after a workplace injury, you may be eligible for psychiatric care through the NCIC. As an authorized provider, I offer evaluations, therapy, and medication management to support your recovery—at no cost to you.
