Your company likely has an employee assistance program, also referred to as an EAP. I work with a wonderful employee assistance program: Lyra Health.
You can find out if your company participates by contacting your HR department and asking.
Tech-based companies make up the majority of Lyra Health clients.
I really appreciate how easy these companies have made it to seek out therapy for anyone. Oftentimes, you’ll also be able to participate if your significant other is an employee at a company that participates with this EAP or another EAP.
Confidentiality is taken just as seriously. There is no communication between the employer and the therapist (such as me).
If you are an employer and want to offer covered sessions, let me know and I’ll be happy to provide options. If you’re an employee and curious about the process, you can also ask.
