The Growing Impact of Mental Health and
Disability in the Workplace
Perusta focuses on three of the most common mental health challenges: anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. Anxiety and depression lead to excessive worry, sadness, and a lack of motivation, often disrupting daily life and work. Chronic pain, which is closely linked with mental health struggles, adds another layer of emotional distress, further compounding these issues. These conditions are widespread, impacting both personal well-being and workplace productivity.
Mental health disabilities affect millions and are even more prevalent among individuals with physical disabilities. The combination of mental and physical health challenges often leads to greater emotional distress, creating additional barriers to well-being and daily functioning.

Finding a mental health provider can be tough specially when it comes to finding someone experienced in working with people with disabilities. With a limited number of qualified professionals, many individuals face long wait times or struggle to find someone who truly understands their unique needs. This lack of specialized care makes accessing the right support even more challenging for those who need it most.
How Perusta Helps
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
the Gold Standard in Mental Health Care
One of the two key pillars of Perusta’s approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, a widely recognized and effective form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. By focusing on practical strategies, CBT teaches people how to reframe their thinking, manage stress, and develop healthier responses to challenges. It’s particularly effective for treating conditions like anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.
CBT is considered the gold standard in psychology because of its proven success across various mental health conditions. It’s evidence-based, meaning it’s backed by extensive research, and has been shown to deliver lasting results by empowering individuals to actively take control of their mental health.
Certified Mental Health Coaching
The Power Behind Guided CBT
The second key pillar of Perusta's approach is certified mental health coaching. Highly trained mental health coaches provide guided CBT, which is 6-7 times more effective than unguided therapy, with users experiencing greater improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms, higher completion rates, and better outcomes within 6-8 weeks.
With support from board-certified coaches, users stay engaged and receive personalized guidance throughout their treatment. This structured approach helps individuals build resilience, develop coping skills, and achieve lasting mental health improvements.
