Counseling and Emotional Support

Call GuidanceResources (800-272-7255) any time to discuss personal issues like depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, substance abuse and addiction, relationship issues, work pressures, and financial problems. You and your family members are each eligible for six professional counseling visits per year. Counseling sessions are free and completely confidential—your manager will not be notified if you contact the EAP.

What happens when I call for counseling?

The process is simple! You’ll be immediately connected to a GuidanceResources consultant, a master’s- or PhD-level counselor who will ask you a few questions about your situation. Depending on your original needs, you may be referred to a counselor. You’ll schedule an appointment with a counselor (by phone, in-person office visit or virtual office visit) for a convenient time to discuss your issue(s).
