Occupational Therapy in Mental Health

Occupational therapy (OT) in mental health is a client-centered, evidence-based approach that supports individuals in regaining autonomy, balance, and well-being in their daily lives. It focuses on helping people re-engage in meaningful activities—whether at work, at home, or in the community—despite the challenges they may face due to anxiety, burnout, depression, ADHD, or other mental health conditions.

OT interventions can help individuals:
•Return to or remain in the workforce with appropriate strategies and adaptations
•Restore a sense of routine and purpose
•Develop tools to manage stress, emotional regulation, and daily functioning
•Reinforce motivation and confidence in everyday activities
•Identify and overcome barriers to personal well-being and autonomy
 
This service is ideal for anyone navigating life transitions, dealing with work-related stress or sick leave, or seeking practical, personalized support for daily functioning.

Meet Lena – Occupational Therapist (OT)

She currently supports individuals on medical leave or transitioning back to work in a private clinical setting.

Her approach integrates creativity, empathy, and practical interventions that empower clients to regain autonomy and reconnect with what matters most to them.
