Welcome to The Refuge Counseling Center, LLC located in Salem, NH. My desire is to help address the counseling needs of the community through competent, and caring counseling, and to come alongside you as you journey through whatever brings you in. Together, we can work on healing, & gaining the tools and insight to help in setting you free.

Each session is 45- 60 minutes unless prior arrangements are made. The usual fee is $140 in cash, check or credit card. If a sliding scale is determined to be appropriate, this will be handled individually. I will provide you with a Superbill in order for you to file for Out of Network reimbursement from your insurer where applicable.
