In response to the growing mental wellbeing concerns of our employees, short-term counseling is available with remote appointments via phone or video. All employees and medical students have access to clinical counselors from CCA Inc. who provide complimentary and confidential consultations on a wide range of personal and professional concerns. Because this program is not intended for long-term treatment, you are allotted eight sessions per issue per calendar year.

Virtual counseling is available by appointment only every Thursday from 9:00AM to 1:00PM. To schedule your confidential 50-minute session, contact Dr. Eleonora Odes, the designated counselor for NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, at EOdes@CCAInc.com.
