What is an EAP?

A free counseling service helping employees with all types of personal problems including, but not limited to job stress, marriage and family problems, anxiety, depression and grief.

Is it confidential?

Absolutely. Nothing about your problem is revealed to your employer, nor is your name given. If, however you are referred by the company as part of a disciplinary action, a limited amount of information will be shared with your employer.

How much will it cost me?

Each employee, and their immediate family members, are entitled to a certain number of free visits, per calendar year. If you need care beyond that, your medical insurance will help with the cost. Co-pays and deductibles are determined by your insurance company. We also offer a self-pay option. Payment is required at time of service and a discount is applied if paid at that time.

Is my therapist licensed? Qualified?
