EAP Clinicians
Mountain Strong ensures all providers are appropriately licensed, registered and insured. Qualified local providers throughout the community are being recruited to participate in the EAP program to meet the behavioral health needs of our employees. Providers come from private practice; some providers live/work in Eagle County and others come from the Denver metro area to our community to ensure a diverse and qualified pool of clinicians.If you are a provider or have worked with a provider who may be interested in joining the Mountain Strong program, please contact Mountain Strong.
Mountain Strong for Other Employers
Vail Health Behavioral Health is working on extending the Mountain Strong EAP to other Eagle County businesses. If you are interested in bringing Mountain Strong to your company, please contact Mountain Strong. Patients are entitled to receive information from providers about the methods of therapy, the techniques used, the expected duration of therapy, and any applicable fees that may not be covered through your EAP or medical coverage. You may stop your involvement in therapy at any time.
It is also important to know that in a professional relationship (like a psychotherapy relationship), sexual intimacy is never appropriate and should be reported to the board that licenses, registers, or certifies the licensee, registrant or certificate holder.
In Colorado, the practice of psychotherapy is regulated by the CO State Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). Any questions, concerns or complaints may be directed to the Mental Health Licensing Section of the Division of Registrations 303-894-7800.
