OUR VALUES
At Refinery Counseling Services, our work is grounded in a Christian worldview and a deep respect for the dignity, worth, and growth of every individual. We believe healing is both a clinical and spiritual journey, and our team is committed to providing compassionate, ethical mental health care that integrates professional excellence with faith-centered values.
Faith-Centered Care
Our foundation is rooted in Christian faith, and we believe hope, restoration, and transformation are possible through intentional care, truth, and grace. For clients who desire it, faith-integrated counseling may include Christian principles, prayer, and biblical perspectives alongside evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Clients are always met with respect, autonomy, and choice in how faith is incorporated into their care.
Client-Centered & Compassionate Support
We believe effective therapy begins with understanding. Our clinicians honor each client’s unique story, values, and lived experiences, creating a safe and supportive space for growth, healing, and honest exploration—emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.
Clinical Integrity & Professional Excellence
Refinery Counseling Services is committed to ethical practice, ongoing education, and high clinical standards. All clinicians—whether fully licensed, prelicensed, or in supervised training—practice within their professional scope and receive appropriate supervision to ensure consistent, high-quality care.
Wisdom, Structure, and Accountability
We value a balanced approach to counseling that combines empathy with clarity and purpose. Our clinicians provide thoughtful guidance, practical tools, and structured treatment planning to support meaningful progress while remaining grounded in wisdom, discernment, and accountability.
Collaboration, Supervision & Growth
We foster a culture of collaboration, mentorship, and professional development. Through regular supervision and consultation, our clinicians are supported as they grow in clinical skill, spiritual maturity, and professional confidence—strengthening the care we provide to clients and the counseling community.
Hope Refined. Healing Restored.
At the heart of our work is a belief in redemption, resilience, and renewal. We are committed to walking alongside individuals, couples, families, and fellow clinicians as they pursue healing, growth, and restored hope.
HOW OUR TEAM IS STRUCTURED
Refinery Counseling Services is a collaborative, faith-centered practice made up of clinicians at different stages of professional development, all united by a shared commitment to ethical care, clinical excellence, and compassionate support. Our team structure allows us to serve clients with care that is thoughtful, well-supported, and grounded in both professional standards and Christian values.
Our clinicians are grouped into three categories based on licensure and training level: fully licensed clinicians, pre-licensed clinicians, and graduate-level intern clinicians. Each clinician provides counseling services within their professional scope and receives appropriate supervision and consultation to ensure quality, consistency, and accountability in care.
This team-based model reflects our belief that strong supervision, collaboration, and mentorship strengthen both clinicians and the clients they serve. Regardless of licensure level, every clinician at Refinery Counseling Services is supported, guided, and committed to providing ethical, evidence-based, and faith-integrated mental health counseling.
Clients can feel confident knowing that care at Refinery Counseling Services is not delivered in isolation, but within a structured, supervised, and values-driven clinical environment.
CLINICIAN GROUP OVERVIEWS
Fully Licensed Clinicians
Our fully licensed clinicians are experienced mental health professionals who provide counseling services independently. They bring advanced clinical training, professional judgment, and a strong commitment to ethical, faith-centered care.
Prelicensed Clinicians
Our prelicensed clinicians are highly trained professionals working toward full licensure while providing counseling under ongoing supervision. They offer thoughtful, evidence-based care within a structured and supportive clinical environment.
Intern Clinicians
Our intern clinicians are graduate-level counseling students who provide services under close supervision. This option can be a great fit for clients seeking quality care while supporting the training and development of future clinicians.
