FMLA & Short-Term Disability Support with Therapy in Humble, Texas
At Embracing Minds Counseling, we understand that work stress, medical conditions, and mental health challenges can sometimes make it hard to keep going without taking time off. Many employees don’t realize that they may qualify for FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) or short-term disability leave to focus on treatment and recovery.
Our practice offers specialized therapy support for FMLA and leave of absence cases, including documentation and ongoing counseling to help you use your time away from work to heal.
What Is FMLA Leave?
The Family and Medical Leave Act allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for medical or family reasons. This includes time off for mental health conditions such as:
- Depression and anxiety disorders
- Trauma or PTSD
- Burnout and work-related stress
- Postpartum depression or perinatal mental health concerns
- Grief and adjustment difficulties
Many employers also offer short-term disability leave that provides income replacement during your time off.
How Therapy Supports Your Leave of Absence
Our licensed therapists can:
- Complete required FMLA or short-term disability paperwork after an intake and assessment period
- Document your diagnosis and treatment plan in a clear, supportive way for HR and disability carriers
- Provide ongoing therapy sessions during your leave to support healing and coping skills
- Offer return-to-work planning, helping you transition back with tools for managing stress and preventing relapse
