The resignation is the last step, and it is the first one you see. Months earlier they stopped raising their hand in meetings. They started copying you on emails they used to just send. They took the recruiter call they would have deleted a year ago.
Replacing one mid-level employee runs six to nine months of their salary. Most of that spend is avoidable if the disengagement gets addressed while the person is still in the building.
HealingWorks® works on what causes those departures. Your strongest performers are the ones absorbing the extra work, staying late to get ahead of problems nobody assigned them, and producing at a level that gets rewarded right up until they burn out. Then you find they took another offer, while their exit interview simply states they wanted "new challenges".
We teach your staff to recognize that pattern in themselves and give them practices they can use the same week, with twelve years of clinical practice behind every session.
Beyond Burnout · Douglas County Department of Human Services · October 2025
In the room
The programs exist. The trust is what’s missing.
Ninety-eight percent of large employers offer an employee assistance program. Utilization runs between two and six percent.
Your employees skip it because using it means telling a stranger, on a recorded line, through a benefit their employer pays for, that they are struggling. Anyone who has learned that visible struggle costs them at work will do that math once, and never pick up the phone.
We deliver in person, in a room with their own colleagues, from a licensed clinician they can talk to face to face. That is what moves participation.
Built for your workforce
EAPs have a second problem.
Every employer in the country buys the same program, so your staff get the same script, the same intake questions, and the same general advice whether they process benefits claims all day or write software.
We build each engagement around your workforce. Before anything is scheduled, we learn what your employees actually do all day, what your leadership is already worried about, and what has been tried before. The scenarios we work through in the room are the situations your staff were in last week.
“The training was tailored specifically to our staff and the work that we do. It gave us an opportunity to step away from our day to day work and really talk about burnout, how to recognize it, and ways we can better support ourselves and each other. Overall, the training felt very relevant to our team and gave our staff practical ideas they could take back and use in their everyday work.”

“Ana's sessions are consistently the most talked about and transformative workshops that the interns experience. She provides clear and grounding guidance, while centering the participants' agency and leadership.

What you get
In your workforce. Staff leave able to recognize their own early warning signs, which is what turns a quiet spiral into a conversation with their manager while there is still time. Teams leave with specific ways to support one another. Managers leave with language for the conversations they have been avoiding.

What organizations ask us most
What does a typical engagement cost?
Workshops begin at $4,500 and keynotes at $9,000. Multi-session and cohort programs begin at $13,500. Annual partnerships are scoped to your workforce. Government and nonprofit rates are available.
Can your programs be customized for our team?
Yes, and customization is where we start. Before anything is scheduled we learn what your people do all day, what your leadership is already concerned about, and what has been tried before. The scenarios in the room are the situations your staff were in last week.
How do you measure return on investment?
We survey participants before and after, and you receive a written report within ten business days covering participation, what shifted, and their own comments. It is structured around the metrics your finance partners already track: participation, retention, and leadership readiness.
Do you offer virtual and onsite programs?
Both. Virtual programs are highly interactive and work well for distributed teams. Onsite allows for deeper immersion in your culture.
Are your services considered professional development?
Yes. Our programs and digital courses qualify as professional development and can be funded through employee development budgets, continuing education, or leadership training allocations.
