What should I expect from individual counseling?

In a confidential one-on-one space, you’ll work with a licensed therapist to explore your emotions, patterns, past experiences, and personal goals. Drawing from evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, narrative, and solution-focused approaches, sessions help you understand yourself, process challenges—like anxiety, grief, trauma or transitions—and create tailored strategies for growth and healing.

What should I expect from teen counseling?

At Refresh Therapy, teen counseling offers a safe, supportive space for teens to explore emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills. Therapists work collaboratively with teens and families to address anxiety, stress, school issues, and more—empowering teens to thrive both emotionally and socially. Compassionate, personalized care is our priority.

What should I expect from children’s counseling?

Kids (ages 5–13) engage in a judgment-free space using play, art, storytelling, and age-appropriate activities to express feelings about divorce, bullying, anxiety, loss, trauma, and more. Therapists help them build coping skills, make sense of their world, and develop healthier choices and emotional regulation.

What should I expect from couples counseling?

Couples counseling at Refresh Therapy is a tailored, safe space for partners—whether dating, engaged, or married—to explore relationship goals and address conflict. You’ll work with licensed therapists trained in EFT, the Gottman Method, and Bowen family systems to improve communication, rebuild intimacy, recover from affairs, and deepen connection.

What should I expect from family therapy?

Family therapy at Refresh Therapy brings together the people you feel most connected to—whether by blood, choice, or circumstance—to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and support transitions like grief, illness, blended family dynamics, or identity questions. Our trained therapists use Systems Therapy, CBT, Narrative, and Solution‑Focused approaches in a comfortable, strengths‑based environment where every voice matters.

What should I expect from premarital counseling?

Refresh Therapy’s premarital counseling is a tailored, strengths-based process that guides engaged couples through essential topics—finances, communication, intimacy, roles, expectations, conflict resolution, parenting—and more. Over 2–4 sessions, you’ll reflect on what makes your relationship strong and where differences may emerge. Using PREPARE/ENRICHⓇ assessments, your therapist customizes strategies to build a solid foundation before marriage.

Starting therapy is an investment in your well-being, and knowing what to expect can make the experience feel more approachable and empowering.
