The Refuge Center for Counseling

The Refuge Center for Counseling We exist to offer excellent, accessible, and affordable mental and emotional healthcare services.

The vision of The Refuge Center is to make sure that every individual and family had the opportunity to seek therapeutic resources, regardless of income level. There are few opportunities for affordable counseling in the area, as many local therapists charge $90-$150 per session. The Refuge Center offers therapy to those who can not afford these fees and bases their fees on a sliding-scale based on income that ranges from $25-$125.

Solomon Builders didn’t just help us build a counseling center—they helped us build a home of hope and healing for thousands. Today, they went above and beyond once again by gifting a new grill for our back patio! We are thankful for their incredible work on our forever home, continued generosity, ongoing support of our mission, and the way they model servant-leadership in their industry and community. Thank you so much Nancy, Paul, Brian, Cooke, and so many others at Solomon who made our BIG dream a reality.

We can't wait to use the grill!

Another group of Interns graduated today! Intern Celebration is always a time filled with many emotions for everyone here at Refuge: Joy, Pride, Loss, to name a few. They get individually celebrated through words, prayed over, and tasked to go out in the world to do good.

These Therapists have shepherded dozens of people through so many different circumstances during their time here and grown so much in the process. We are so grateful for these women and the other men and women who make up our Intern Program at Refuge.

Our Golf Invitational is a little more than a month away and we still have sponsorships and space for 6 teams!

Last year we raised over $100,000 to support our sliding scale so that anyone who is struggling can find hope, healing, and freedom from hurts, hang-ups, and the shame stories they have told themselves. We believe we can raise even more this year!

Go to refugecenter.org/golf for more info.

Thanks to for sponsoring our Invitational this year!

Our Story

The vision of The Refuge Center for Counseling, located in Franklin, TN, is to make sure that every individual and family had the opportunity to seek therapeutic resources, regardless of income level.

There are few opportunities for affordable counseling in Middle Tennessee, as many local therapists charge $100-$170 per session. The Refuge Center offers therapy to those who can not afford these fees and bases their fees on a sliding-scale based on income that ranges from $25-$110.

In 2017 alone, we served 2,783 clients in over 18,300 sessions. In October 2017, we provided our 100,0o0th counseling session since opening in 2005.

We firmly believe that no matter who you are, no matter what you have done, no matter what has been done to you, no matter how much your income is or where you live, when you come to The Refuge Center you deserve to have the most excellent care possible with maximum opportunity for healing.
