Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services provide confidential counseling and support for employees experiencing personal, emotional, or work-related challenges. At Live Purposely, we provide a supportive space to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and life transitions through your available EAP benefits.
Work and personal responsibilities can sometimes become difficult to manage. Workplace stress, relationship concerns, family responsibilities, grief, or other life challenges can affect your emotional well-being and make it harder to focus on what matters.
EAP counseling provides an opportunity to speak with a therapist about what you are experiencing and develop healthier ways to manage challenges.
Whether you are dealing with work-related stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, or another personal difficulty, EAP services can provide support while you navigate the situation.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an employer-sponsored benefit that may provide confidential counseling and other support services for eligible employees and, depending on the program, eligible family members.
EAP benefits vary by employer and EAP provider. Depending on your specific program, you may have access to a certain number of counseling sessions or other support services at no or reduced cost.
EAP counseling may address concerns such as workplace stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, family concerns, life transitions, and other personal challenges.
Faith-based and Christian therapy may also be available through EAP services for individuals whose EAP benefits and treatment arrangements allow for this approach and who would like to incorporate their Christian faith and spiritual beliefs into counseling.
Getting started depends on your specific EAP program and available benefits. The initial process provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, verify your EAP benefits or authorization, and determine an appropriate treatment approach.
Depending on your EAP program, sessions may be available in person or virtually. Your therapist will work with you to address your immediate concerns and develop practical strategies that fit your needs and goals.
As your EAP sessions progress, you and your therapist can discuss appropriate next steps based on your needs and goals.
How do I access Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services?
You may be able to access EAP services through your employer’s EAP provider, hotline, online portal, or by contacting our office. Because EAP programs differ, we can help you determine what information or authorization is needed to use your available benefits.
Is EAP counseling confidential?
EAP counseling is generally confidential, subject to applicable privacy laws, professional requirements, and the terms of your specific EAP program. Your therapist can explain confidentiality and its limits before treatment begins.
Information may need to be disclosed in certain circumstances, such as when required by law or when there are safety concerns. Your employer generally does not receive your clinical information, but what is shared with an EAP or employer can vary by program.
Can I continue therapy after my EAP benefits end?
Yes. If you would like to continue therapy after your EAP benefits are used, you may be able to continue care using your health insurance or private pay, depending on your coverage and the therapist’s availability. Our team can help you understand your options and next steps for ongoing care.
