What should I expect during an in-office counseling visit at the Employee Assistance and Counseling Center?

During UAB Employee Assistance and Counseling Center (EACC) in-office visits:

• Your assigned counselor will review your intake information.
• Begin to gather more in-depth information and history to explore and develop sufficient background to help move towards your identified goals.
• Progress will be regularly evaluated in terms of whether counseling is effective in attaining the desired objectives, and by comparing your current situation with your situation when counseling began. 
• Counseling efforts will terminate when the sought-after goals are sufficiently achieved. 
  • This will be determined through a mutual agreement among the participants and the counselor. 
  • If at any time you decide to terminate the counseling relationship, it is recommended that you inform your counselor in order to tie up loose ends and to allow for feedback concerning the counseling process.
