About Refuge Counseling & Wellness

More Than Counseling

Refuge Counseling & Wellness, located in Vancouver, WA, is dedicated to quality care and helping you get lasting results.

Many people don’t get the results they want in counseling because they’re told they just need “a few tools” and the nervous system never gets addressed.

At Refuge, we understand that you’re not just thoughts or feelings. Our lived experiences get encoded in the body. Therefore, we need the body involved in the healing process.

All of our therapists and practitioners work through a trauma-informed lens and take a whole person approach that considers the nervous system in the change process.

Practitioners collaborate on your behalf to coordinate care when needed.
