Our Services
Guiding Star delivers comprehensive behavioral health care for injured workers, built around three connected services.
Clear, thorough, defensible evaluations that support diagnosis, treatment planning, and the documentation a claim requires.
Personalized teletherapy, including CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, for the anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic-pain-related distress that follow a work injury.
We collaborate with treating physicians, case managers, and adjusters so care stays connected and everyone stays informed.
Who We Work With
1
Case Managers & Adjusters
Workers’ comp case managers and adjusters who need their clients evaluated, treated, and documented by credible licensed clinicians.
2
Medical Clinics
Treating medical providers who need a behavioral health partner for injured workers whose recovery has a psychological component.
The Early-Intervention Advantage
Why timing matters the single strongest data point for referrers:
Behavioral health treatment within the first 90 days of a claim has been shown to reduce claim duration by 60–70% and improve return-to-work outcomes. Delayed mental health treatment is associated with claims lasting more than three times longer.
Coverage / States Served
Guiding Star provides telehealth services to injured workers across our national footprint, including California, Arizona, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and states across the Northeast and South Central U.S.

Roughly one in three people experience major depression or PTSD after a traumatic injury, making mental health a core part of recovery, not an afterthought.
Up to 35% of injured workers in rehabilitation show symptoms consistent with PTSD, often tied to chronic pain.
Injured workers have 45% greater odds of depression than non-injured workers; a hidden barrier that quietly slows recovery.
Claims with delayed mental health treatment often last more than three times longer than those without; early care changes the trajectory.
