We understand making that first phone call to inquire about counseling can be anxiety-inducing. We have two administrative assistants, both in school to become counselors themselves, answering our phones from 9:ooam-7:00pm every weekday. They are well equipped to answer all your questions about the process to begin counseling and our sliding fee scale system.
If you do happen to get our voicemail, please know our lines are secure and someone will return your call. You may also email us at info@therefugecenter.org if that is more comfortable for you. We will get back to you as soon as possible. For more details about what you can expect during your first visit here, please read this blog “Your First Visit”.
Did you know we offer after school and work sessions, into the early evening time frame? We sometimes have Saturdays available too.
Please meet the ladies answering our phones:
