Take The First Step

The first step one takes at Refuge is called an “intake appointment” This hour-long chat with an intake specialist helps us get to know you better, understand your goals, and match you with the right therapist. We’ll also determine your sliding scale fee, ranging from $25 to $125 per session. To secure your appointment, please provide financial documents like your latest tax return, a W-2, or three recent paystubs (or proof of no income). Your intake session is 1 hour long and the same amount as determined by your sliding scale fee.  After this, we’ll use your info to find the perfect counselor for your needs and schedule.

Before calling to schedule, have this ready:

  • Names and DOB for all counseling seekers
  • Counseling type (individual, couples, child, family)
  • Phone number
  • Email
  • Scheduling preference (telehealth or in-person)

We want people to feel Seen, Safe, Secure, and Soothed.

We get it. Admitting you need help can be scary, going to a place you’ve never been before to receive that help can be even scarier. Taken from Dr. Daniel Siegel’s “4 S’s of attachment”: We want people to feel Seen, Safe, Secure, and Soothed. It is our goal that that starts right from when you enter our building. If you are coming for an in-person appointment, then we have done as much as we can to make you not just “feel” comfortable. but to actually be comfortable.

Our Waiting Rooms

Our waiting room(s) is where you will first experience Refuge and we have gone to great lengths to make sure it is good first impression. With dim lighting, calm and peaceful music, magazines, coloring books, Refuge resources, and toys and books for children, we have taken steps to put you at ease from the get-go. Our Hospitality and Office Manager, plays a huge role in this and will likely be one of the first people you encounter.
