Family & Individual

 Our vision for this program is not a modest one. Our hope is to make a  significant impact in the lives of a multitude of people and change this  community. We want to bring those who are hurting and dealing with the  pain of trauma to a place of peace and hope. This will be  accomplished through incorporating faith, counseling, and personal  development to see each person achieve his or her goals. 

 We offer several different types of therapy depending on the needs of  our clients. Our two primary types are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)  and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Both of these  therapies are evidenced based counseling solutions.  We also offer ‘play  therapy’ which can be an effective modality for children and adults  alike. 

 Our trauma recovery programs are focused on resiliency and  reunification. The goal of resiliency is to help the client heal from  traumatic life experiences to move them to a healthy lifestyle.  Reunification is an especially important piece of this program because  of the ability of the client, following achievement in resiliency, to  move with the family toward healthy relationships - this being vital to  the client's children. The Refuge will see clients become healthy  individuals, reestablish beneficial family roles, and productive  community members. 

 Our intensive program is designed as a Ninety day outpatient program.  The focus here will be on resiliency while working within the confines of external needs such as job requirements and/or family obligations.  The primary treatment modality will be EMDR within this program due to the treatment efficiency and timeline. 

The program will consist of meeting 3 days per week, 6 hours per day.  During these periods at the refuge, you will engage in 3 hours of counseling and 3 hours of personal development as needed for treatment.

Personal development is where we will concentrate on things such as:

• Social Skills
• Compassion
• Money Management
• Problem Solving
• Unity
• Leadership

Total time obligations for our Intensive Day Program is 108 hours of counseling (one-on-one counseling and group counseling sessions), and 108  hours of personal development.  In some cases the counselor or the client may feel like additional counseling is needed.  In theses cases, an arrangement can be made to continue with one-on-one counseling once the Intensive Day Program is complete.
