✨ Now Hiring at Refuge Counseling & Wellness: Trauma-Informed Therapists Who Love Their Work ✨

We’re an anti-burnout practice built around actually caring for our clinicians—not just our caseloads.

If you thrive on collaboration, value depth and holistic collaborative care, and want to do meaningful and innovative work with real support, you’ll fit right in.

We’re seeking clinicians trained in treating trauma—or genuinely excited to become trained—who want to grow as part of a connected, values-driven team.

Most of us don’t need more things— we need a space to breathe, feel supported, and come back to ourselves.

❤️ Our groups and classes are a thoughtful alternative to a traditional gift— for loved ones or yourself! ❤️

Healing, support, and life transformation CAN be wrapped under your tree this year!!

🎁 No assembly required. Just show up as you are.

We have 2 groups starting in the new year, just in time to recover from the holiday chaos:

🎄 Mindful Mamas
A 10 week supportive community for moms of littles, pregnancy through age 8.

This time of life is incredible! And can be overwhelming, isolating, and riddled with stress and self doubt.

Join Mindful Mamas, a space where we care for YOU through guided mindfulness practices, skill building and authentic connection with other mothers in this stage of life.

AND

🎄 Befriending Your Body
A 12 week book club with somatic coaching based on The Wisdom of Your Body by Hillary McBride, Ph.D.

Learn to feel safer, calmer, and more grounded, and find a kinder, steadier relationship with your body.

This group benefits anyone who experiences anxiety, depression, symptoms of PTSD, or those who want to unlearn the harmful messages they’ve learned about their bodies.

💫 Feel More at Home in Your Own Skin 💫

If you’ve spent years feeling disconnected from your body—judging it, pushing it, or tuning it out—you’re not alone.

So many of us were taught to treat our bodies like projects instead of companions.

And around the New Year, when the “fix yourself” noise gets louder, it can feel even harder.

Befriending Your Body offers a gentle pause—a warm place to slow down, tune in, and start building a kinder relationship with the body you live in.

🧘 This is more than a book club.
It’s a guided journey inward.

Each week, we’ll explore one chapter of The Wisdom of Your Body by Hillary McBride, Ph.D., followed by a guided somatic practice. 🧘‍♂️

You’ll learn how to listen to your body with curiosity, respond with kindness, and build real-life skills that support ease, safety, and connection.
