Mental health challenges can significantly impact your ability to work, but California Short-Term Disability (CASTD) benefits are here to help. These benefits offer financial support to employees unable to work due to temporary illnesses or injuries, including mental health conditions like anxiety.

At Darling Psychology, we understand how critical it is to maintain financial stability while focusing on recovery. CASTD benefits allow individuals to access treatment without added stress, promoting better recovery outcomes and reducing long-term workplace absences.

Beyond personal benefits, CASTD also helps foster a healthier workplace culture. By supporting mental health care, employers reduce stigma and create a more inclusive environment, enhancing productivity and morale.

Darling Psychology provides telehealth services in Huntington Beach, California, to assist individuals in evaluating their eligibility for CASTD benefits. Our team is here to guide you through every step of the process.

Short-term disability insurance is essential for Californians unable to work due to illness or injury. The State Disability Insurance (SDI) program, managed by the Employment Development Department (EDD), offers up to 52 weeks of benefits to eligible individuals.

To qualify, you must:

Be unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury.

Be employed or seeking work at the time of disability.

Have earned at least $300 in wages with SDI deductions during the base period.

Applying for SDI benefits involves submitting a claim to the EDD, which requires medical certification from a healthcare provider. At Darling Psychology, we simplify this process. Our team evaluates whether you qualify under California's guidelines and assists you with the application process.

Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, trauma, or another condition, Darling Psychology ensures you focus on recovery while we guide you through filing for benefits.
