EAP Counseling Associates

Members of the Cleveland County Chamber can now take advantage of a special opportunity to offer and provide an additional benefit to their employees.  There is a growing need for mental health-related counseling services and a decreasing number of counseling providers in our area.

Through the cooperative efforts of the Chamber and EAP & Counseling Associates, PLLC, counseling services may be obtained as a benefit for an annual fee of $25 per employee.  This fee covers the employee, spouse, and dependent children for up to five free counseling sessions per person per incident each year.  There are no “co-pay” or additional charges for the employee.  The service is totally confidential and readily available.

Counseling is provided for:  stress; anxiety; panic; marriage difficulties; parenting/child and school problems; depression; anger; substance abuse; or work-related and other mental health issues.

If this sounds like a benefit that can be added to your current benefit package for your organization, please contact us at (704) 481-1332 to arrange a time for a personal discussion of your needs and our services.  You can also email us at teri@eapc.org or log on to www.eapc.org for more information.
