I’m trying to take leave due to mental health/ burnout. Has anyone been successful in getting approved for Short Term Disability and /or FMLA via a therapist/licensed counselor (LPC) or do they need to be a psychiatrist? Thank you I’m advance 👍

I have been successful twice and I think it’s key to work with your treatment team to see what they recommend so they know how to support your recovery journey. This will help you understand logistics around duration and treatment plan as an input into your LOA. The whole thing is managed by the STD provider, not the firm, so it can be a little nerve wracking to start the process. Here to support however I can. You got this ❤️‍🩹

FWIW when I looked into this (I’m miraculously in a better place, I just woke up one week and didn’t want to leave my job quite yet…) my therapist (LPC/whatever licenses are legit) said he can, but I also had a PA-C psychiatrist that could as well.

Any recommendations? Anyone know of an organization hiring in FL? Remote preferred.

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
