Called EY Assist to set up talking to a counselor to deal with some depression/anxiety, but I don’t know how to ask off. Asking to work from home 5 times (1x/wk) isn’t going to sit well with my team

Depression and anxiety are no joke. If you have a problem and someone is giving you a remedy you should take it.

My experience with EY Assist and all of HR really has been awesome, I’ve been so impressed with their compassion and willingness to help. If you need to see a counselor for your own mental health, you are entitled to do that and your team can piss right off. End of story.

Can you find a counselor close to the work location? That way you won’t have to work from home. As far as asking goes, in my head, unless they are a super micromanaging team, I’ve not had to tell anyone since I schedule my sessions close to the office during lunch time. I’ve never been asked but my team also does not micromanage. Think of it as, you absolutely are able to take an hour out of your week to go see a counselor. Depression and anxiety are no joke. I would say if you are unable to schedule it on Fridays or weekends, then I would tell your team that you have a medical condition that requires you to see the doctor sometimes. Another option is to conduct Skype interviews with your counselor when you are at home. There are a lot of counselors that work late nights to accommodate people’s schedules. Good luck OP. Take it into your own hands and don’t feel like you can’t prioritize your health.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
