How do I know if I need counseling?

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.

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.
