Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are employee benefit programs offered by many large businesses. These programs are intended to help employees deal with personal problems that might adversely impact their work performance, health, and well-being. This service is generally free of charge to the employee and a great way to get started with therapy.
Dr. Schild is on the panel of some major Employee Assistance Programs in San Diego county. In case he is not part of your EAP, there is a good chance that he can join if you contact your EAP directly and put in a request. While most EAPs are usually limited to three to six sessions, this is often a great way to get started with therapy without a co-pay. Generally, you can start with your EAP benefit and once your benefits have been exhausted, transition over to your health insurance plan. Please check with your insurance company first to make sure they will cover continued visits once your EAP plan has been used.
