Client Session Fees
The sliding scale fees that our clients pay for counseling services.
Offering Hope to a Hurting World
The Refuge Center for Counseling was founded on the belief that everyone, regardless of income level, deserves a chance to improve their life and find hope and healing from the storms of their daily lives through counseling.
The average fee per counseling session in the 2022-2023 fiscal year was $61. Currently, it costs the center $98 to give a counseling session. That means The Refuge Center must raise almost $37 to cover every session on our sliding scale, of which almost 90% of our client utilize. To accomplish this, we are supported by generous grants, churches, corporations and private donors. We are also a United Way of Greater Nashville partner agency. Your gifts are always appreciated.

Tax-deductible donations from our generous community of supporters – individuals, corporations, family/corporate foundations and grants.
The Refuge Center for Counseling also hosts community events as a tool to support our fundraising efforts and as a way to educate the public on mental health issues.
Refuge believes that change happens like a ripple effect: when one person gets healthier, families get stronger, and in turn, the community around them becomes more resilient.
Since opening in 2005, over 290,000 counseling sessions have been held and in the last fiscal year over 4,000 clients have come through our doors and attended more than 38,000 sessions (adding up to 20 sessions per client on average.) That is a LOT of transformation happening in Middle Tennessee…and guess what? Those are your neighbors, your friends, co-workers, maybe even your family. When you give, you get to experience and benefit from the healing in your own community!
For every $37 dollars raised, one person is able to get the emotional and mental healthcare services they need in order to transform their life, tackle anxiety, overcome addictions, and experience peace.
