An occupational therapist (OT) is an invaluable resource as you transition back into your professional role. An OT can help rebuild your confidence, develop a routine, recommend coping strategies and work with you to identify any adjustments or assistive devices that could help you perform your job functions while alleviating pain or fatigue. An OT can also collaborate with your employer to gradually increase your workload and responsibilities at a pace that feels manageable.
We help individuals of all ages with cognitive impairments by assessing their strengths, limitations, and needs. Through personalized intervention plans, we help improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, problem-solving skills, and decision-making abilities.
We work with individuals to develop a routine that not only supports their professional responsibilities but also nurtures their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. We focuse on building healthy habits, improving organization skills, and promoting a positive work-life balance.
Occupational therapists can collaborate with your employer to facilitate a smooth transition back to work. By communicating your needs and progress, OTs can help create a supportive environment with proper accommodations that prepare the workplace for your return.

We will evaluate which skills may have declined during your time away and develop a tailored plan to help sharpen them. This may include retraining for physical tasks, rebuilding stamina, adapting work environments to better suit your needs, and counselling to address any psychological barriers.
Your therapist will provide support and guidance as you steadily rebuild your self-confidence to take on work tasks again. While the road back may not be easy, you'll get there by celebrating small wins and believing in your ability to recover.
Our occupational therapists use a solution focused approach when offering support to individuals preparing to overcome barriers to returning to work. This approach entails focusing on the client's strengths, assets, abilities, and past successes. Rather than dwelling on problems or diagnoses, the therapist helps the client envision their preferred future, and supports them in taking small, manageable steps towards meaningful occupational goals.
