Therapy for Employees Can Save Your Company Thousands | Here’s How to Do it!

‍By Dr. Kimberly Moffit, Founder of KMA Therapy

‍

Nobody talks about what it actually feels like to work in a high-stress environment.

‍

Whether it’s a security guard working overnight shifts, a frontline worker dealing with crisis calls, or an employee in a corporate role silently carrying the weight of burnout, the truth is this: 

‍

‍

Mental health problems are actually costing your business more than you think.

‍

In certain industries — where employees regularly face trauma, burnout, or unpredictable human behaviour — that wellness isn’t a nice-to-have. 

‍

It’s actually essential.

‍

At KMA Therapy, we’ve spent over a decade helping people navigate the pressures of their jobs, their families, their nervous systems, and their mental health. And more recently, we’ve begun working directly with companies. 

‍

We offer corporate therapy packages that have become an absolute game-changer for organizations with high-risk teams, especially those dealing with trauma, frontline stress, or legal liability exposure.

‍

If you’re a business owner, executive, or HR decision-maker, here’s what you need to know.

‍

Mental Health Is Quiet, Until It Isn’t

‍

Stress doesn’t always show up in obvious ways. But we’ve learned that eventually, it always does show up.

‍

Usually what I’ve seen is that it starts with just one missed shift. Then maybe you find out they’re disgruntled and you hear the FAINTEST angry words under their breath, or catch wind that they’ve been complaining when you’re not around. 

‍

They might even make excuses that don’t make sense, or take a sick leave that turns into six months off. 

‍

And sometimes (and this is the hardest one) it’s a mental health emergency that ends in harm, legal action, or worse.

‍

When we offer therapy to employees who’ve experienced traumatic events or chronic emotional strain, we often hear the same thing: 

‍

“I didn’t know I needed help until I sat down and talked about it.”

‍

In our line of work, what happens next is the most powerful. They return to their jobs more self-aware. More stable. More able to cope with high-pressure environments without burning out or acting out.

‍

That is the difference therapy makes. And it ripples across your entire team.

A CEO’s Perspective: Why I Started Offering Therapy to Companies

‍

As the founder and CEO of a therapy clinic with multiple locations across Toronto, I’ve sat across from thousands of clients over the past decade. I’ve seen what happens when companies invest in their people — and what happens when they don’t.

‍

I remember meeting with an executive who told me his security staff were exhausted, agitated, and emotionally shutting down. They had been through multiple violent incidents on shift. There was tension on the team, and it was starting to create issues with management.

‍

We built a custom therapy package that allowed his employees to access sessions as often as they needed. No limit. No stigma. We were just there to support.

‍

Within months, the mood changed. Guards started showing up early to their appointments, asking thoughtful questions, and even bringing their coworkers with them. They went from defensive and reactive to curious, calm, and connected. The executive told me, “They’re like different people.”

‍

That’s when I knew this work needed to scale.

‍

This isn’t just about kindness,  it literally shapes your business’ culture. It’s about accountability for them. And yes, it’s about legal protection.

‍

If you run a company where someone could experience trauma on the job, or where stress and burnout are part of the culture, this is one of the most powerful decisions you can make.

A Therapist’s Take: What Employees Won’t Tell You

‍

As therapists, we always hear what most employees will never say out loud.

They’re afraid they’ll be seen as weak. They’re worried about losing their job. They don’t want their managers to know they’ve been crying in the bathroom between shifts. 

‍

Many of them were raised to believe they should "push through" and be grateful to have a job in the first place.

‍

But under that silence, there’s often real distress — and in many cases, trauma.

‍

When companies provide access to professional therapy, it signals something very clear: You’re allowed to get help here.

‍

We’ve seen team members who used to struggle with anger or withdrawal become confident communicators. We’ve supported employees through grief, through panic attacks, through abusive relationships that were affecting their performance. And we’ve watched companies become safer, stronger, and more legally protected simply because they created an emotionally literate workplace.

‍

Therapy works. The science proves it. And the right therapist makes all the difference.

‍

Why Unlimited Therapy Is the New Gold Standard

‍

One session doesn’t change your life. Five might start to scratch the surface. But unlimited access to therapy creates true psychological safety.

‍

That’s why our corporate packages include:

‍

• Unlimited 1-on-1 therapy sessions for your employees
  
  
• In-person and virtual access, 7 days a week
  
  
• Trauma-informed care for frontline or high-risk workers
  
  
• Emergency sessions following workplace incidents
  
  
• Anonymous usage tracking for HR (compliant with all privacy standards)
  
  
• Add-ons like group support, manager coaching, and culture audits
  
  

‍

We work with companies in security, hospitality, tech, healthcare, and more. And we tailor each program to the needs of your team.

For Decision-Makers: This Is Your Legacy

‍

If you’re a founder, a CEO, or an executive leader, this part is for you.

‍

You’ve likely spent years building your company. Not just the operations, but the people who bring it to life. Your team’s wellness isn’t just about them. It’s about the energy they bring to your clients, your brand, and your future.

‍

Offering real therapy to your team isn’t a reactive move, it’s a proactive one that makes people feel great about their work. And it positions your company as the kind of organization that leads by example.

‍

When your staff is supported, they will literally do anything to protect your business.

If You're an Employee: You Deserve This Too

‍

Maybe you’re not the one in charge. Maybe you’re the one holding the stress — working hard, staying late, wondering if anyone sees how much you’re carrying.

‍

This article is also for you.

‍

If your workplace doesn’t offer mental health support yet, it’s okay to forward this to someone who can change that. It’s okay to advocate for your own wellness! 

‍

You deserve support. And it should be accessible, private, and free of judgment.

‍

We’ve got you!
