  • EAPondering: 5 Qualities of an Effective Therapist

    A message from your Employee Assistance Program

    If you seek, or have sought, help from a professional counselor or therapist you probably already know that the process of choosing the right provider can be trying and stressful by itself. While EAP is specifically designed to facilitate that process with appropriate referrals, you may still feel uncertain as to whether your therapist is a good match for your needs.

    Psychology Today.com recently posted an article by Dr. David Elkins, Ph.D. sharing some very knowledgeable, helpful insights to help you answer those questions.
