Your Injury Doesn't End at the Physical

A workplace injury changes more than your body. It can disrupt your identity, your income, your sense of safety, and your future. For many injured workers, the psychological toll of an occupational injury — the anxiety, the depression, the sleeplessness, the reliving — is just as disabling as the physical injury, and far less likely to be addressed.


At Mind Matters, we provide specialized psychiatric evaluation and treatment for workers navigating the New York Workers' Compensation system. We understand the documentation requirements, the timeline pressures, and the unique clinical picture of occupational trauma. You will be heard, treated thoroughly, and supported through every stage of your recovery.
