hurricane helene support

Short Term Reduced Rate or Free Counseling Sessions

This program is a joint effort of individual counselors local to East Tennessee who have voluntarily and independently agreed to offer free or steeply reduced costs short-term counseling for community members affected by Hurricane Helene. This group initially began as a response to early COVID-19 pandemic challenges and has resurfaced to support our community in the wake of Hurricane Helene. 

This program is intended to be a resource for community members directly affected by Hurricane Helene and who are facing financial challenges or who need quick access to at least short-term care. We recognize there is so much hurt in our community and we hope this effort can provide at least a tiny bit of support to our neighbors.

How It Works

  • All therapists or practices below have agreed to provide at least three  counseling sessions for a discounted rate of $0-30 per session.
  • All therapists have agreed to have immediate openings (within a week) for these sessions.
  • You may call or email the provider(s) of your choice and mention this program to get started.
  • If you need assistance getting connected with a provider, you may use the contact form at the bottom of the page.
