What Our Clients Say About Us

Amazing Practice

The session was basically career guidance for my children, however it turned out to be so much more than that. Dolly and Associates was able to provide the tools for them to become more focused and become the people they are today. Dolly and Associates is an amazing practice to use – there is caring, professionalism and there is love. – Jacqui

A Life Saver!

Dolly and Associates has been my strength. They helped transform a troubled child. I will always be grateful for their kindness and professionalism. Thank you.– Carol

Great Training!

This training session was informative and made me think and re-evaluate my goals and priorities. – Supervisor/HR Manager

Challenged and Inspired Me!

I first came into contact with Dolly and Associates when I tendered my resignation after 10 years of working with a company. Finding myself panicked and unsure I reached out to the company EAP, Dolly and Associates. The experience helped me to discover the source of my fear and procrastination and to rebuild my confidence to go after the goals that I had set myself. Five years later I am successfully running my own company. I tell everyone who has a big decision to make and needs support that Dolly and Associates helped me at a critical juncture of my life – they listened, challenged me to stay focused and to fine tune my goals. This was the impetus that I needed on my way to success.– Jerome/Business Consultant

Your First Meeting with the EAP - What to Expect, How to Prepare

Meeting with an Employee Assistance program (EAP) professional may seem a bit awkward at first, especially if you have never sought help for a personal or family problem before. But take heart: The EAP counselor has done this many times and will walk you through the process one step at a time.

Getting started

After some initial “get acquainted” conversation, the counselor probably will ask you an open-ended question such as, “How can I help you today?” or “What would you like to talk about?” This can make people nervous, but it’s as good a way as any to get started.

It usually is best to describe your feelings first. In other words, describe your distress before you explain the details and the circumstances. For example, you might start by saying that you are feeling sad or depressed and just can’t seem to shake it. The employee assistance counselor can then narrow the scope of his questions accordingly.

Four objectives for the first EAP visit

Determine the nature of your concern.
Problems come in all shapes and sizes. Depression, substance abuse, marital conflict, stress, or all of the above may be causing significant upset in your life. The EAP counselor will likely ask you to first talk about what you are feeling. This is easy because there are really only four emotions: sadness, fear, anger and joy. So try to determine the dominant feeling that has brought you to the EAP.

Determine the intensity or severity of the problem.
Once the nature of the problem is identified, it’s important to measure the impact on your life. For example, losing a parent causes grief and sadness, which is a normal response. However, if grief persists for months and begins to interfere or conflict with other areas of life, then it is severe.

Assess your current motivation to address the problem and make changes.
The goal of counseling is change—be it changing our unhealthy circumstances or our response to things that cannot change. Accordingly, willingness to try new ways of coping with a problem, stressful event, or unpleasant person is a critical component of the counseling and change process. Also, everyone has a tolerance for change and the employee assistance counselor can help you set an appropriate pace.

Assess the type and level of support from family, friends or co-workers (if appropriate).
Some people have ample support from family and friends and co-workers, while others have virtually none. The amount and intensity of support needed from professionals is, in part, dependent on the availability of non-professional support from concerned others. Individuals who live alone often require much more time and professional support for the same problem as someone with an intact support family.

Preparation - Things to think about before your visit

As you prepare to see the EAP, think about the four objectives outlined above and try to be as specific as you can. But don’t worry if you can’t—sometimes we get so stressed and overwhelmed that we simply cannot put a sentence together. The employee assistance professional will understand.

Confidentiality and Privacy

You should know that the cornerstone of the Employee Assistance Program, EAP is strict confidentiality. The EAP counsellor will discuss this with you during the first visit and answer any questions or address any concerns that you have.
