If you or a family member is coping with anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, an eating disorder, or other mental health need, your Adobe benefits can help.
Start with Spring Health
When you need support, make your first call to Spring Health. The EAP provides 12 free therapy sessions and can connect you to other resources as needed.
Spring Health employee assistance program (EAP)
When you’re struggling, you don’t have to go through it alone. The employee assistance program (EAP) through Spring Health is available at no cost to you. The EAP provides you and your family with 12 free therapy sessions, mental wellbeing exercises, and work-life resources.
You don’t have to be enrolled in an Adobe medical plan to use the EAP, and all interactions with the EAP are confidential. Adobe does not know who has accessed EAP services.
What happens when you contact the EAP
Visit Spring Health to activate your benefits. After a brief assessment, you’ll be assigned a dedicated care navigator who will act as your single point of contact.
Your care navigator will recommend EAP resources or guide you to the appropriate EAP benefits, including 1:1 counseling or other treatment options.
You, your spouse or domestic partner, and your dependents age 6 and older each get 10 free sessions per calendar year (12 each beginning January 1, 2024). After that, sessions are covered according to the terms of your medical plan.
If you’re enrolled in an Aetna medical plan, your care navigator can help you find an in-network provider, which will save you money. Be sure to provide your insurance information to your care navigator, or upload it on the Spring Health platform by clicking on your name and then Settings.
Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:

Aetna mental health benefits
Aetna behavioral health services are covered according to your medical plan: After you meet your deductible, the plan pays 80% or 90% of the cost for in-network care, and 60% or 70% of recognized charges for out-of-network care.
If you find your own provider, remember that there could be a big difference in cost if you go out-of-network. You’ll have a higher deductible, and you’ll need to pay a higher percentage of the cost. Plus, if an out-of-network provider charges more than the usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) maximum, you’ll be responsible for any amount over the UCR cost.
Aetna provides comprehensive coverage and a variety of ways to access care, including:
- Virtual care, or telehealth, which encompasses talking to someone by phone, video, chat, or text
- Outpatient care, such as talking to a therapist in person or participating in a program that doesn’t require overnight stays
- Inpatient care, which is when you stay at a facility to receive care
To learn more, visit the Aetna member website, and select Mental Health Support & Services under Member Resources. You can also review the Aetna Behavioral Health Resources [PDF] or Aetna Support for Inpatient Behavioral Health Care [PDF].

You can use Teladoc to get support for anxiety, eating disorders, depression, family issues, and more. Teladoc sessions [PDF] are covered according to your Aetna medical plan—i.e., after you meet your deductible, the plan pays 100% of the cost:
- Psychiatrist (initial visit): $190 per session
