How Refinery Counseling Supports Women, Veterans, and Families with Faith and Care

How Refinery Counseling Supports Women, Veterans, and Families with Faith and Care

At Refinery Counseling, we believe that healing happens in safe spaces—spaces filled with compassion, dignity, and a deep respect for every person’s journey. Our practice was born from a desire to walk alongside individuals and families through life’s most challenging and transformative moments, offering not just clinical care, but also faith-integrated support that nourishes both heart and soul.

We are a woman-owned, veteran-owned, and minority-owned private practice, uniquely positioned to understand and support the lived experiences of diverse communities. Our work is guided by empathy, cultural competence, and spiritual sensitivity. We serve all who seek support, with a special focus on women, veterans, and families—three groups often carrying invisible burdens with strength and silence.

Supporting Women with Compassion and Clarity

Women face a wide range of emotional challenges—often while balancing caregiving, careers, relationships, and personal identity. From anxiety and depression to trauma recovery and self-worth, our therapists offer a safe, judgment-free environment where women can process, heal, and grow.

We help women:

  • Set boundaries in relationships
  • Navigate life transitions (motherhood, divorce, loss, career change)
  • Heal from trauma and emotional abuse
  • Reconnect with their identity and voice
  • Strengthen self-esteem and spiritual purpose

Therapy at Refinery Counseling is a space where women are seen, heard, and uplifted.

Walking With Veterans Who’ve Served and Sacrificed

Veterans carry unique stories—many filled with sacrifice, honor, and at times, pain. As a veteran-owned practice, we are deeply committed to offering trauma-informed and culturally responsive care to our fellow service members.

We provide support for:

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Military sexual trauma (MST)
  • Moral injury and survivor’s guilt
  • Anxiety, depression, and anger management
  • Readjustment to civilian life and relationships

Whether you’ve served in combat, support roles, or are navigating life after discharge, our therapists understand military culture and the emotional toll of service. We offer a place to unpack the weight you’ve carried—and begin the journey back to peace.

Strengthening Families Across Generations

Families are the heartbeat of community—and they too face challenges that can strain their bonds. Whether it’s navigating parenting issues, marital conflict, grief, or generational trauma, we help families reconnect through communication, empathy, and practical tools.

We support:

  • Blended families and co-parenting dynamics
  • Children and adolescents dealing with behavioral or emotional challenges
  • Couples in crisis or transition
  • Families recovering from trauma, separation, or loss

Faith-based values guide our approach, honoring the sacredness of family while recognizing the real-world pressures that make relationships difficult. Our goal is to foster healthier family systems where every voice is valued.

Integrating Faith and Mental Health

At Refinery Counseling, we believe that faith and mental health are not separate—they’re intertwined aspects of human wholeness. As a Christian-led practice, we integrate spiritual principles with clinical expertise for clients who desire it.

We understand that:

  • Faith can be a source of strength, identity, and healing
  • Spiritual trauma and questions are valid and important
  • Prayer, Scripture, and biblical wisdom can enhance emotional growth

Whether you want to explore faith during your sessions or simply need a counselor who respects your spiritual journey, we honor your path.

A Practice Rooted in Dignity and Hope

Refinery Counseling is more than a therapy office—it’s a refuge. We know what it means to live under pressure, to feel unseen, or to question your worth. That’s why we meet each person with care that is intentional, personalized, and rooted in hope.

From individual therapy to family counseling, from trauma healing to spiritual integration, we are here to walk with you through every season.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Whether you’re a woman seeking clarity, a veteran seeking peace, or a family seeking connection, you are welcome here.

Let’s refine the pain—and rediscover purpose.
