An Employee Mental Wellness Program is a confidential, employer-sponsored benefit that provides short-term counseling and support for employees and their families. Most employees use 7 or 8 sessions, and typical utilization averages around 10%.
These programs are designed to help employees address personal or work-related challenges that may impact well-being, performance, or engagement. Employees gain access to expert clinicians who can help them navigate stress, mental health concerns, relationship issues, and more.
Common areas of support include:
- Stress, anxiety, and depression
- Relationship or family challenges
- Grief and loss
- Work-related stress or conflict
- Substance use concerns
How Does Our Employee Mental Wellness Program Work?
We provide a streamlined, high-impact counseling program that fits easily into your existing benefits. When an employee wants support, they simply notify HR. HR submits a request through our secure portal, and we respond within two hours to schedule a discovery call within 48 hours. Our goal is simple: help employees get better faster, reducing absenteeism, improving productivity, and lowering downstream healthcare costs (including avoidable ER visits).

In a recent JAMA-published study, Spring Health found a 30% decrease in overall healthcare costs when employees received timely mental health support.
Strong Financial Return
Employers achieve a 1.9× ROI, receiving $1.90 back in reduced healthcare spending for every dollar invested in mental health benefits. See how much it can save your company with this calculator.
Improved Employee Performance
Employees who participate in mental wellness counseling show measurable improvements in focus, engagement, and on-the-job performance.
Lower Medical Claims
Better access to mental health services leads to fewer stress-related medical claims and prevents high-cost episodes of care. Evernorth research shows behavioral health treatment can reduce healthcare spending by up to $3,321 per person over 27 months, largely due to fewer ER visits and inpatient stays.
Reduced Absenteeism
When employees receive effective support, absenteeism drops and workforce reliability improves.

Employee Mental Wellness FAQs
How quickly can our employees get an appointment?
Most employees are matched with a therapist and scheduled within a few days. Our client care team handles the matching so no one has to search on their own. Certain contracts that we have allow us to get you in within 24 hours for a discovery call.
Is employee therapy confidential from the employer?
Yes. We never share who used the service or what was discussed.
Can employees use their own insurance instead?
Yes. Employees can book directly with their insurance or private pay, and employer-sponsored sessions can be a bridge or a supplement.
Do you offer workshops or trainings for teams?
Yes. We offer workshops on stress, burnout, communication, and mental health awareness, delivered in person in Austin or by video.
Can remote employees outside Austin use the service?
Employees anywhere in Texas can see our therapists by video.
How do we get started as an employer?
Reach out through our contact page and we will set up a short call to learn about your team and what you want to offer. From there we put together a simple agreement, and your employees can start booking within days.
What does an employer-sponsored program cost?
Pricing depends on how many sessions you want to sponsor and the size of your team. We give you a written proposal after the first call.
Can an employee keep seeing their therapist after the sponsored sessions end?
Yes. Employees can continue with the same therapist using their insurance or private pay, so there is no handoff to a new provider.
