Common Concerns

Sometimes in our lives certain situations occur that overwhelm us and talking to a family member or friend does not seem to help.  The NYC EAP can be of assistance during this period.  A professional counselor will work with you and/or your family members to help resolve your issues so that you can live a healthier life. All information shared with the NYC EAP counselor is kept confidential.
