    Our Story: A Compassionate Space for Healing and Connection

    Refuge Counseling of Arkansas was founded in 2018 by AdamMaisen, LPC-S, in Arkadelphia, AR, with a simple yet powerful mission, to provide a safe, welcoming environment for emotional healing and connection. After more than a decade
    working in agency mental health settings, Adam envisioned a counseling practice that felt home-like, accessible, and deeply personal, created around whatclients truly need to feel seen and supported.


    Every therapist at Refuge Counseling is hand-selected and trained in experiential therapy, a research-based approach focused on strengthening and repairing meaningful relationships. Our licensed clinicians share a unified passion for meeting people exactly where they are, offering empathy, insight, and a judgment-free space for growth.

    In 2024, we expanded with a second location in Hot Springs, AR, allowing us to serve an even broader community while staying true to our founding mission of offering exceptional, individualized therapy for individuals, couples, and families.

    With over 40 years of combined experience, our team has guided countless clients through some of life’s most difficult moments. We understand that life can feel uncertain and overwhelming, but we also know the transformative power of safe connection. At Refuge Counseling, we’re here to help you navigate the challenges and discover renewed hope, security, and strength.

  • Building Emotional Safety and Secure Relationships

    Your life experiences shape the way you connect with othersand see yourself. Over time, emotional wounds known as attachment injuries can make it difficult to trust, open up, or feel safe in relationships. These moments occur when support and understanding were needed most, yet you felt dismissed, unseen, or alone.


    In response, you adapt. You learn to rely only on yourself, keeping emotions guarded to avoid disappointment or rejection. While this self-protection can feel safer, it can also leave you feeling isolated and disconnected from the people you care about most.


    True emotional safety means having the freedom to beauthentic, to take off the mask, express vulnerability, and know you’ll be met with empathy rather than judgment. Ideally, these connections exist within your closest relationships, but that isn’t always easy to achieve.


    That’s where we come in. Your therapist will work alongsideyou to build a strong, trusting therapeutic alliance, exploring your attachment history and uncovering the patterns that keep you guarded. Together, we’ll help you rebuild emotional security, strengthen your relationships, and create the safe, supportive connections you’ve been longing for.


    Our goal is to help you heal emotional pain and reshaperelational bonds, empowering you to cultivate accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement with those who matter most so you can experience connection that truly feels safe and secure. Take the first step toward healing and secure connection. Schedule your free 15-minute consultation today and begin the journey toward relationships you’ve been longing for.
