One focus of the Behavioral Medicine Associates program of care is on the needs of the injured worker. Work related injuries often involve a behavioral component that requires treatment. Programs of pain management and lifestyle adjustment enable patients to return to work sooner, with less disability. It is well documented that ongoing, chronic pain results in significant psychological and behavioral dysfunction. Workers injured on the job who experience persistent pain require direct behavioral intervention. The impact of being out of work, losing one's identity, and coping with the results of a physical injury can be devastating. With treatment, workers can learn specific skills to cope with pain and to develop the skills necessary to adapt to their injuries. Treatment enables workers to develop the "emotional muscle" necessary to rehabilitate and return to a productive life. It would be difficult to conceive of a physical injury in which there was not psychological sequella. Aside from the pain and limitations imposed by the injury, the patient is confronted with financial, occupational, family, parenting, and social limitations that must be assessed, quantified, reported and treated.

Many work related injuries have a direct psychological/behavioral component.

BMA was proud to treat many workers who were victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. We are pleased that the majority have been able to return to work, and continue to lead active and productive lives. Workers who are involved in incidents that result in direct behavioral/emotional problems can be successfully treated. BMA works together with the employee, the family, and often with the union or group to assist these workers in returning to their pre-accident level of functioning. Cognitive-Behavioral treatments are used to help those injured. These treatments provide skills, and concrete behavioral techniques that can be used to regain behavioral and emotional functioning. BMA is dedicated to providing the injured worker with the most effective program of care. Helping an injured man or woman return to work, enabling them to maintain their dignity and sense of self-respect is one of our most important missions.

Workers' compensation also known as workers' comp or workman's compensation, provides medical and/or psychological treatment to workers who have suffered job related injuries, accidents, disease or illnesses such as slip and falls, trauma, motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and head injury. These workplace injuries may result in psychological or "behavioral" issues that require treatment. Some of these psychological problems include fear, stress, anxiety disorders (post-traumatic stress disorder - PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and specific phobias) depression, sleep disorders, adjustment disorders, anger issues, psychosocial problems, relationship issues, caregiver distress, difficulty coping with disability, injury and chronic pain and problems dealing with loss and grief.

The team of New York State Licensed Workers' Compensation Psychologists at Behavioral Medicine Associates (BMA) can help the injured worker learn to cope with and/or recover from these problems. BMA provides this service as part of the injured worker's worker compensation insurance program. To treat these psychological issues, the therapists at Behavioral Medicine Associates utilize techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), desensitization, exposure therapy, self-instructional training, relaxation training, meditation, mindfulness training and Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT). These treatments provide skills and concrete behavioral techniques that can be used to regain behavioral and emotional functioning.

BMA is dedicated to providing the injured worker with the most effective program of care. Helping an injured man or woman return to work, enabling them to maintain their dignity and sense of self-respect, is one of our most important missions.
Behavioral Medicine Associates also provides neuropsychological evaluation and psychological evaluation of disabilty in workers' compensation cases and in cases of no-fault injury.

There is no reason to continue to suffer from the psychological effects of a workplace injury or illness. Let us help you recover from stress, fear, anxiety, panic, phobias, depression and PTSD and learn to cope with chronic pain.
