The Refuge Center for Counseling

Healing takes more than just talking.

In today’s world, mental health care is changing — and many of the most effective approaches help us heal by engaging not only our thoughts, but also our bodies, brains, and relationships.

That’s why we created Live Intentionally 2026 — a speaker series highlighting powerful new therapies that support deeper, long-lasting change. Topics include parenting support through PCIT, OCD education and tools, perinatal therapy, music therapy, and somatic movement therapy.

✨ Featuring a keynote from Dr. Thomas Cabell, Jr., MD, on the connection between emotional life, nervous system regulation, and physical expression.

🎟️ Tickets: $50 | $35 Early Bird through Jan 31
☕ Includes light breakfast + 3 CEUs

“In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it,” - John 1:4-5

At Refuge, we see this light reflected everyday in the courage of those seeking healing and the compassion and generosity of our supporters. We are grateful to be able to provide a place where light breaks through, Hope Grows, and where no one has to walk this road alone. May the light of Christ fill your heart with peace this Christmas and throughout the coming year. 🎄🎄

Some Burdens Are Invisible.

At The Refuge Center, there is a safe place to unpack those struggles and leave them at our door. With one of our 76 trusted counselors, someone can let go of what has been holding them back, weighing them down, and counting them out.

Your gift is the difference between someone carrying their pain alone… and finally getting help. When you give, you help someone release their pain and .

Our year-end goal is $350,000. With your help, reaching that would provide 7,000 counseling sessions!

SEVEN THOUSAND!!

Imagine what 7 individual sessions could do for 1,000 people in your community! The ripple effect is massive.

You can help us reach that goal with a tax-deductible donation before the year ends, at refugecenter.org or by clicking the link in our bio.
