More organizations are recognizing the importance of having a workforce that is prepared and unencumbered by stressors. As a result, additional supports and services are increasingly being integrated into the organizational cultures of corporations, manufacturing environments, professional service firms, and various work settings. These services may come in the form of workplace counseling or clinical supervision.  Workplace counseling provides easily-accessible, confidential counseling and therapy from licensed, qualified professionals for employees of an organization and clinical supervision provides high quality clinical oversight for personnel working in behavioral health settings. Providing this in-house service to employees is another means for organizations to alleviate stress among its workforce, reduce absenteeism, stimulate personal growth, and assist managers dealing with difficult situations or staff.

Professional counselors are able to offer assistance with several situations that have the possibility of interfering with daily functioning and work performance, including:

• Anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional problems
• Family and relationship issues
• Job stress and career advancement
• Adapting to life transitions
• Loss, grief, and bereavement
• Clinical supervision and oversight
