Employee Assistance Program (EAP) & Workplace Wellness
Employee Assistance Programs for Tampa Bay Businesses
Employers can provide a designated number of counseling sessions for employees without requiring them to use their health insurance, helping remove common barriers to seeking care.
A More Personal EAP Experience
An EAP should be more than a phone number employees receive during onboarding and forget about.
Employees can receive support in person at our downtown Tampa office or virtually throughout Florida.
Our clinicians can help employees navigate:
- Work-related stress and burnout
- Anxiety and overwhelm
- Depression and mood concerns
- Relationship and family challenges
- Grief and loss
- Life transitions
- Emotional wellbeing and resilience
- Personal challenges affecting work or home life
The goal is simple: make professional mental health support easier to access when employees need it.
