The Refuge Center currently has more than 70 Staff Therapists, Master’s Level Interns, Contract Therapists’, Post-Master’s Volunteers, and Administrative and Operations staff. Whether you are looking for an internship, gain clinical hours for licensure, or have interest in a contract position, there is a multitude of ways to be part of the worthwhile mission we are striving to bring about.
At Refuge, we believe in a culture of compassionate care. Not just a “buzz word” or phrase, it underpins everything we do. We define it as: “being bonded with another in a positive way that allows us to relate to each other from a place of kindness and compassion.” It is an essential foundation for a long-lasting relationship. Everything we do, whether it be providing therapy on a sliding-fee scale, raising money through our Development team to fill the gap or anything in between is looked at from this lens.
We have over 15+ Therapists on full-time staff at Refuge. This team is dedicated to the mission and vision of Refuge and most of our therapists also oversee other areas of life at Refuge as Directors of the various programs we offer such as the Child/Teen, Intern, and Groups and Intensives Programs.
Our interns make connections, gain experience, participate in continuing education, receive supervision and support and do meaningful work!
Volunteers are able to accelerate clinical experience and continuing education with free group supervision in a nurturing, supportive culture.
A Contract Therapist will maintain weekly contacted caseload of individual and family clients, attend regular meetings with Director of the Contract Program, support policies and procedures of The Refuge Center, and demonstrate administrative and ethical excellence in notes, files, reports, EMR, etc.
Our Administrative team at Refuge allow us to do the soul-affirming work that we do by taking care of the “behind the scenes” work: Raising funds, grant-writing, paying our therapists, marketing our services and events, etc. This all happens because of our incredible Administrative Support.
