Philosophy.

Innate Health.

The clinical philosophy of the MSU EAP reflects a health based approach to mental health and addiction counseling. Each one of us has inner resources available to us, which we can access at any time, despite external circumstances, past events, or biochemistry. This innate sense of wellness helps us respond to life with common sense, wisdom, and grace. Counselors at the MSUeap seek to help people move from a crisis oriented state of mind to a reflective state of mind. From the vantage point of the person's innate health, they are able to have personal insights that lead to new thinking about self, others, and circumstances.

Emotional Wellness.

The staff of the EAP believe that it is in each person's best interest to move in the direction of increasing our sense of emotional wellness. As such, our work is guiding by the understanding that there are factors which contribute to one's overall emotional wellness.
