Counseling Services

Mental health is the foundation to leading a healthy, happy life. When emotional issues arise it is important to address them before they become bigger challenges and eventually interfere with your life. Ithaca provides a free and confidential benefit to assist with those emotional stressors.  These counselors are professionals who provide confidential counseling in-person or over the phone for a variety of stressful issues such as marital, family, substance abuse, depression, stress, grief, health, and more. Each counselor carefully listens to your needs and either offers short-term counseling focused on coping strategies or makes an appropriate referral to long-term counseling or specialized care. For more information, please review this NexGen EAP - Counseling flyer.
