Investing in People: A Unified Approach to Emotional and Financial Wellness

Mental Health Counselor Alysha Palacio and Financial Advisor Derick Perera's collaboration would enrich and expand the support services offered through your organization's Employment Assistance Program (EAP). As professionals in mental health and financial wellness, we believe that integrating therapy and financial advisory services into your current EAP will provide a holistic approach to supporting your employees' well-being, helping them overcome personal and economic challenges that can impact their work performance and overall quality of life.
Our EAP offers a unique, integrated solution for today's workforce at the intersection of mental wellness and financial stability. Developed by a licensed therapist and a certified financial advisor, our program addresses two of the most pressing challenges employees face: emotional strain and financial stress.

Derick D. Perera

With over 20 years in insurance, real estate, and finance, Mr. Perera equips employees with the tools to reduce financial stress and make confident decisions. His counseling boosts focus, morale, and retention—making him a powerful asset to any EAP aimed at building a resilient, high-performing workforce.

Alysha Palacio

As a trauma-informed therapist, Ms. Palacio understands how unresolved stress and past experiences can quietly impact performance, morale, and team dynamics. Her compassionate, evidence-based approach supports individual well-being. It helps shift workplace culture—reducing stigma around mental health and encouraging employees to seek help without fear or judgment.

Benefits of our program

Improved Employee Well-Being: A dual focus on mental health and financial security will lead to happier, more balanced employees.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Organizations that lack a comprehensive EAP often face:

‍Increased absenteeism and presenteeism
Higher turnover and recruitment costs
Greater rates of burnout and disengagement
Lost productivity due to unaddressed mental, financial, and personal stress
Increased health care cost
Decreased talent attraction

The return on investing in employee well-being is real—it is measured in stronger retention, improved morale, and a healthier bottom line.
