  Counseling services help to assist and guide individuals in resolving problems and difficulties they might have in their lives. The main benefit of counseling is to help you have a life which you can entirely enjoy and appreciate and to also help you more deeply enjoy your important relationships.

You may use counseling services to:

• Feel better about yourself
• Feel more at peace, more comfortable, or more secure in the world
• Feel more successfully connected with others
• Reduce stress and promote physical health as well
• Work through problems
• Identify your goals
• Establish ways and techniques for reaching your goals
• Understand your own thoughts, feelings, and responses better
• Understand your loved ones better
• Have a safe ear
• Speak with a skilled and interested professional about your sensitivities and fears
• Talk with a professional about troubling or private concerns
• Work toward a greater self-fulfillment

BalanceWorks, your Employee Assistance Program through eni, is available 24/7 to help you and your eligible family members effectively balance the competing demands of work and life with different services.

Counseling Services
Our counselors are Mental Health 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.
