For Human Resource Leaders

Supporting your employees' mental health and reducing turnover

When your high performers are struggling.

You’re seeing it across your organization: talented employees who once excelled are now disengaged, calling in sick more frequently, or submitting resignation letters. Research shows that 43% of employees worldwide experienced workplace burnout in 2024 (Workplace Burnout Statistics, 2024), with working parents particularly vulnerable to chronic stress and turnover.

While your EAP provides general mental health resources, many burned-out professionals need specialized support that addresses both their emotional well-being AND their career satisfaction. That’s where I come in. As a licensed therapist and certified career coach who specializes in helping burned-out professionals and working parents restore balance and rediscover purpose in their careers.

The hidden cost of employee burnout.

Research reveals that 65% of working parents report burnout (Gawlik et al., 2024), leading to significant organizational impacts:

Increased absenteeism and healthcare costs
Reduced productivity and creativity
Higher turnover rates, especially among women
Decreased employee engagement scores
Difficulty attracting top talent due to reputation concerns

The cost of replacing a skilled employee can range from 50-200% of their annual salary (SHRM via SalaryExpert, 2024), making burnout prevention a critical business investment.

My Specialized Approach

Having worked with executives and professionals from Google, Amazon, NBC, Big 4 accounting firms, Boston Children’s Hospital, and many other high-pressure environments, I understand firsthand the weight of professional expectations and the toll they can take on working parents.

Whether you’re supporting current employees struggling with burnout or providing outplacement services for departing team members, you’re connecting them with specialized care that goes beyond traditional EAP services. My unique combination of therapy and career coaching means employees get both emotional support and practical next-step guidance during challenging transitions.

For outplacement situations, I help departing employees process the emotional impact of job loss while simultaneously building their confidence and strategy for what’s next. This compassionate approach often leads to faster, more successful transitions and can help protect your company’s reputation as an employer who cares about people even during difficult decisions.

Why do human resource leaders choose my services?

Unlike general therapy that focuses on a broad range of mental health symptoms, my dual expertise in therapy AND career development means your employees get comprehensive support that can help them find genuine satisfaction in their current roles or transition successfully within your organization. Studies demonstrate that chronic workplace stress leads to hypothalamic-pituitary axis dysregulation, which may be the mechanism by which job stress causes physical illness (American Journal of Medicine, 2019).

When employees work with me, they often discover ways to find fulfillment in their current position, develop better boundaries, or identify growth opportunities within your company. This can significantly reduce turnover while improving overall team dynamics and productivity.
