Question 2

What is experiential therapy, and how is it used at Refuge Counseling?

Accepted Answer

Experiential therapy is an approach that helps clients engage with their emotions through real-time experiences rather than only talking about them. Our therapists use this method to help you identify patterns, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change in real-time in the session.

We have a great success rate of helping motivated couples establish a relationship that is much stronger than they ever thought possible.

Question 4

How can counseling help my teenager or college-aged child?

Accepted Answer

Teenagers and college students today are facing really unique challenges at crucial turning points in their lives. These are times when their autonomy and identity are beginning to solidify. We help teens and college students navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions. Our counselors meet young clients where they are emotionally, helping them gain confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

Question 5

What issues can individual counseling help with?

Our therapists support individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship struggles, and life transitions. We tailor every session to your unique needs so you can move toward greater peace and emotional balance.

Question 6

How do I know if I need counseling?

Accepted Answer

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of our clients seek counseling to gain clarity, improve relationships, or better understand themselves. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, counseling can help you find direction and relief.

Question 7

What can I expect during my first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is a chance to share your story and goals in a relaxed, judgment-free space. Your therapist will get to know you, discuss what’s bringing you in, and collaborate with you to create a personalized plan for meeting personal goals. We recognize how much courage it takes to ask for help, and we are here to walk along with you in the journey. Feel free to ask any questions you may have along the way.

Question 8

Do you offer virtual or online therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Refuge Counseling provides secure online therapy sessions for clients who prefer or require remote access. This allows you to receive the same compassionate, high-quality care from the comfort and privacy of your own home, office or car. This does require a stable internet connection, and a device equipped with audio/visual capability.

Question 9

What are “attachment injuries,” and how do they affect relationships?

Accepted Answer

Attachment injuries occur when the people in your life that should have been your biggest supports were not able to meet your emotional needs. This negatively impacts your view of self and the way you interact with others. Our therapists help you identify these patterns, heal past pain, and rebuild safe, secure connections with yourself and others.

Question 10

How do I schedule an appointment or free consultation?

Accepted Answer

You can easily schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation by calling our office or filling out the contact form on our website. We’ll match you with a therapist who best fits your needs and schedule.
