What happens when I call?
When you call, you will speak with a Guidance Consultant, a Master’s or PhD level counselor who will collect some general information about you and will talk with you about your needs. The Guidance Consultant will provide the name of a counselor who can assist you. You can then set up an appointment to speak with the counselor over the phone or schedule a face-to-face visit.

What counseling services does Work/Life Solutions provide?
Work/Life Solutions provides free short-term counseling with counselors in your area who can help you with your emotional concerns. If the counselor determines that your issues can be resolved with short-term counseling, you will receive counseling through Work/Life Solutions. However, if it is determined that the problem cannot be resolved in short-term counseling in Work/Life Solutions and you will need longer-term treatment, you will be referred to a specialist early on and your insurance coverage will be activated.
