Counseling and In-the-moment behavioral health support

In-the-moment behavioral health support

In-the-moment behavioral health support, with a master’s or doctorate level counselor, is available 24/7 to address concerns or immediate needs when they occur.

Counseling

Counseling is available in either face-to-face or virtual sessions. Counseling involves analyzing, addressing and resolving problems that impact clients emotionally, or are impairing their ability to function well. It provides professional guidance to the individual, often spending time exploring the individual’s past and exploring emotional turmoil, mental health issues or substance abuse concerns, and looking for links and solutions to issues. Counselors create safe and supportive spaces so that individuals can explore questions like, ‘who am I,’ 'how do I feel' and ‘how do I cope with this.’ Counselors help identify problems and act as a solid support system to assist individuals in gaining strength.

Counseling can help with many concerns, including:

Stress & Burnout
Depression
Conflict & Relationships
Dealing with grief or adverse events
Sorting through work and life issues
Communicating more effectively
Relieving depression & anxiety
Managing anger
Resolving marital & relationship troubles
Overcoming legal or financial problems
Managing interpersonal conflict at home or at work
Achieving healthier work/life integration
Addressing addictive behaviors
Dealing with drug or alcohol abuse
