Events occur in life which naturally impact human beings on an emotional level.  Such life concerns can affect someone, not only personally, but in their work life as well.  People may have difficulty concentrating, have attendance issues, make errors, or have difficulties in their interpersonal relationships with co-workers, customers and clients.

Examples of life concerns include, but are not limited to:  difficulties in relationships;  worries about children;  depression or anxiety;  substance abuse in the family;  juggling multiple demands leading to stress; coping with life transitions;  illness or death in a family;  personal or community trauma;  as well as trauma at work or in world events.

Monica Ferkin offers an alternative and objective perspective to employees and their families through the Employee Assistance expertise that she has developed over the past 25 years.  Consulting with an EAP professional such as Monica, assists people so that they can receive the objective guidance which assists them to grow in their personal and professional lives.  This helps to bridge not only an individual's work and family life, but helps to bridge employees and employers. The support, guidance, and consultation she provides are invaluable resource tools that are so significant to people's success at work and for their well-being outside of work.

Monica also facilitates presentations, seminars and support groups that may be of interest to businesses and the community.  In addition to being educational, these programs serve as a preventative outreach to people so as to assist them in being more comfortable with the process of seeking assistance.  Such programs are available to all shifts in order to accommodate the needs of the employer, as well as the employees.

In addition to being a therapist and consultant, Monica provides EAP services as a provider affiliate for external and internal EAP's who service larger employers.  She also participates on some insurance panels to provide EAP and therapy services for their members.
