Just wondering if anyone has had experience with Employee Assistance Program/short term counselling. I saw someone through my employee assistance program today and the person I saw seemed entirely focused on giving me practical "advice". I wasn't overly impressed - it felt a bit like sitting with someone who has a 'fix' for everything.... kind of like "don't worry about that, if you just do this, everything will magically be better". I am allowed to request another provider if the first one doesn't seem like a "good fit", I'm just wondering if this is typical and what I should expect of short term therapy.

Any thoughts?
