EAP Affiliates

Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) provide front-line care to employees, helping them deal with problems they face, both personal and professional. As a benefit provided by your employer, it is a free service that gives you access to confidential short-term assistance to help you deal with stress or other issues.

Megan McCarter Cates, Counselor, LPC, MHSP​

Each person has the ability to transform any challenge into evidence of their own strength, resilience and success as long as she or he has the courage to ask for and accept help when help is needed. There is no shame in asking for a doctor's assistance with an injury or condition, just as there is no shame in seeking a therapist's aid when a problem has become too complicated for you or your support network to resolve on your own. Let her help you discover that there is proof in hope.
She respects each individual's unique background, belief system and the guts it takes to start the process of taking on life obstacles. She strives to offer treatment interventions that challenge without overwhelming and are in harmony with each client's core values.

I also have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, career and workplace issues, family and relationship difficulties, parenting skills, stress management, grief and loss, self-esteem needs, existential crises and adjustment to life transitions.
