Emotional and relationship issues can be overwhelming! Sometimes life just seems to turn into a series of difficulties, and our mental, emotional, and psychological state can take a beating.

Of course, personal problems are as treatable as any other health concern if you know where to turn. Getting counseling seems like a no-brainer – the right therapist can help almost any issue with a compassionate yet removed from the situation unbiased eye. Sadly, many people feel stigmatized just for needing help, and that’s not OK. Everyone deserves great mental and emotional health!

Most of us try to put on a brave face and just hope that things get better. Some help would be nice, but who has time and money to schedule counseling sessions, attend them, and then try to implement the advice given – especially when it could take weeks or months to even secure an appointment when you need help NOW?

With a counseling benefit provided by APS Healthcare through 2BenefitU, you can have access to counselors by phone anytime, day or night. All it takes is a quick call to the number on your membership card, and you’ll be connected to a counselor with a master’s degree and at least 5 years of experience, who will help you no matter what your problem is. The best part is, you pay $0 for your counseling session.

You can talk with a counselor about:

• Depression, anxiety and stress
• Loss, grief, or transition
• Physical, emotional, mental or substance abuse
• Family based issues, including parental and marital problems
• Work based issues
• … and more

Every conversation is 100% confidential (except in cases when reporting is mandated by law, as in cases of child abuse). You don’t have to feel awkward or ill at ease – the counselor will be discreet, compassionate, and non-judgmental, so you can open up about your problem and get real help.

If needed, our counselors can even refer you for further help to a local, licensed counselor in your area for treatment (costs not included in free phone counseling). If that’s not necessary, your on-the-phone counselor will provide assessment and short term resolution suggestions, and even follow up with you and check in to make sure you are OK later.  
With this counseling benefit, a happier, more fulfilling life is just a phone call away. It’s included along with up to 20 other benefits when you subscribe monthly for packages starting at just $15.95 per month.
