Continued Counseling Support

Welcome to MentalRest Counseling

Your care can continue here

We offer compassionate, professional support through individual counseling, couples and family therapy, and convenient house call counseling

If you were referred by the Atrium Health Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and need ongoing counseling after your EAP services, MentalRest is here to help.

Eligible Atrium Health EAP referrals who are uninsured or underinsured will be matched with a MentalRest counseling intern and receive counseling services at no cost.

There is no set limit on the number of sessions. You may continue counseling for as long as you need support.

You deserve continued support—not a pause in care because of cost.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I get started?

Can I choose my counselor?
Yes! You can view our student counselors on the Our Team page and schedule a consult directly with them.

I do not want to work with a student. Do you have licensed counselors?
Yes, we do. Please note that no cost counseling is provided only by our student counselors.

I’m not sure about working with a student. How do I know I’m receiving professional quality care?

Student counselors at MentalRest are completing the final portion of their graduate studies in counseling and will receive a master’s degree upon graduation. After finishing their program, these counselors are eligible to take the licensure exam, and upon passing, will become provisionally licensed counselors, often within months of their graduation. Throughout the time they provide care to clients, they are required to meet each week with an experienced, fully licensed counselor who closely monitors their progress. This supervision ensures that their work aligns with the laws and ethical codes governing the practice of counseling, and also that they are fully competent in the therapies they provide.

In addition to weekly supervision meetings, MentalRest student counselors participate in two hours of supervision meetings with their university instructors and peers, where they receive further guidance and support on cases, therapeutic approaches, and professional development. So, in effect, when you meet with a student counselor at MentalRest, you receive support from an entire team of therapists working together to ensure you receive professional, ethical, and effective care.

I met with a student counselor, but I don’t think we’re a good match. Can I have another consult with a different counselor, or do I have to re-join the wait list?

You can simply let us know via text at 336-701-2136 that you would like to try a different counselor. You may have as many consults as you’d like until we connect you with a match.

I still have questions. What should I do?
Feel free to text us at (336) 701-2136. We typically respond during regular business hours.
