When calling our confidential counseling services, your EAP Counselor will take you through our intake process, where we ask structured questions to assess your situation and determine the best level of care.
– Counseling Services: Our counselors are Mental Health Professionals who provide confidential counseling in-person or over the phone for a variety of stressful issues such as marital, family, substance abuse, depression, stress, grief, health, and more. Each counselor carefully listens to your needs and either offers short-term counseling, per issue, per year, focused on coping strategies or makes an appropriate referral to long-term counseling or specialized care.
– Child/Elder Care Resources: Access resources to help you find the child and elder care that you need. We can assist you with finding a pediatrician, babysitter/nanny, camps, sports lessons, music lessons, and college applications and financial aid. Eldercare resources include help with housing options, assisted living facilities, Medicare, doctors, financial planning, and transportation.
