Client Book Club Oct 16th, 2025 at 6:30pm How To Not Die Alone by Logan Ury Led by Ninoska Moratin, LPCC Learn More LEARN MORE What We Do Individual Therapy Family and Couple's Counseling Group Therapy Clinical Supervision and Consultations Individual Therapy Individual therapy sessions for children, teens, and adults last between 30 to 60 minutes and are either provided in our private office spaces or through telehealth. Not all mental health needs are appropriate to be addressed through telehealth. When you first start treatment your therapist will likely spend the first few sessions getting to know you and collaboratively developing a treatment plan with you. Your therapist may use assessment tools to help establish symptom severity and help monitor your progress in treatment. The length of treatment depends on what type of therapy your therapist is utilizing as well as your symptom severity. Each therapist has their own individualized office space and they work to create an environment that feels safe and comfortable. Water, tea, as well as seasonal drink offerings are available during your visit and a lending library is in the waiting room if you arrive early for your session. Individual Family and Couple's Counseling Family Family and couple's sessions are typically 60 minutes and we prefer for these sessions to take place in office. Family sessions may be integrated into individual therapy to address specific issues, or may be set up as the primary means of treatment. Both premarital and marital counseling services are available. If you are engaged we encourage you to set up premarital counseling prior to your big day to help develop communication and ensure that you and your spouse-to-be are on the same page as you move forward. Couple's seek treatment in marriage to work on refining their relationship, improve communication, and address issues of trust. If you are calling our office to set up marital counseling please let us know if you are looking for affair recovery treatment. Group Therapy Group therapy is offered for various specific treatments and typically last for 60 minutes. Groups are offered both through telehealth and in our group therapy space. Receiving group treatment allows you to receive the support from other who are struggling with the same issues. All of our groups are led by clincians. Availability of groups is changing throughout the year and some groups may be "closed" whereas others are "open" meaning that no invite is needed and you are free to join at anytime. Please contact our office to learn more about our group offerings!

He has helped me so much I cannot wait to start my sessions again. Due to therapy with Jim I am now too busy improving and changing my life completely to make it to a session! - Client Survey Jim helped my husband and I find the same page on many issues. More importantly, he taught us how to work together to get to that page on our own in the future. Our relationship benefited tremendously from his services. -Client Survey I would , worst case scenario , be dead . Or best case scenario, be trapped in a dead marriage, if it were not for Mr Croxton. He laid out a very clear and practical treatment plan that allowed me to make the choices that were in my best interest. He never promised me any particular outcome, just that he would guide me thru a series of questions and discussions that would help me arrive at the outcome I decided was best for me. And he did just that. Honestly, I did not get the outcome I wanted going in, but I am happy with where I landed. I learned that choosing fear can be empowering, and alone can be happy. No telling what life I would be living without his help. - Client Survey Contact If you think I might be a good match for your needs contact us and let's meet to get started! jim@cognitiverefinery.com 270-266-1188

Testimonials We regularly survey our clients to get feedback on the care that we provide. This helps us to continue to grow and challenge ourselves to provide the best possible services. 2025 Survey Results Show: My therapist seems knowledgable about my issues... On average on a scale of 0 to 5 we scored a 4.8. Account Director The opportunity to have appointments after a normal workdays and on weekends is revolutionary and unbelievably helpful to working clients. The Cognitive Refinery is a very excellent place to go see a therapist. My experience has been great. I am thankful that I found the Cognitive Refinery, because the staff have went above and beyond my expectations. Grateful for the experience that I have had so far and hoping that I can truly make some decisions that will help take some of the stresses of my life away. It took me awhile to seek therapy when I needed it most, but after being here for several months I feel like I have a lot more control in my personal relationships and can maintain healthy ones. Everyone is great. Couldn’t have found a better therapy “home.” I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions and everything that I got out of them. TCR is a wonderful company with competent staff. The best part was how friendly the staff were & the treatment/help I received. It helped me in ways I did not realize I needed. It was very laid back and not "stuffy" for a 14 year old. My daughter felt comfortable, secure, and felt heard. The results I’ve seen since beginning treatment have been phenomenal. I cannot thank the staff enough. Office decor is excellent. It doesn’t feel like you’re in a healthcare type setting. I really liked how friendly the front staff was, the small talk was honestly greatly appreciated! Ease of office space from pulling in parking lot, waiting area, and therapist session designed for acceptance, calm and peace. Love the apple cider and tea! I have been able to have a safe and comfortable and welcoming environment for each session regardless of topics discussed that day I feel very safe and comfortable at TCR and put at ease to explore some of the things that led me to seek out treatment in the first place. There isn't one thing that sticks out as best, as the experience as a whole has completely changed my life. I've found my self-worth, learned to communicate my needs better, found several resources to help me and have been able to tackle my mental health challenges. I’d have to say the best part of my experience is that therapy has gave me someone I can talk to about all my problems with without feelings judged and also feeling genuinely cared for by another person. The help I have received and knowing that someone understands what I am going through and I have someone I can speak to about issues that I may not want to share with friends or family. I have had the two best therapists I've ever seen with TCR. They have been incredibly understanding and patient. The overall atmosphere is calm and the therapists are highly trained, truly listen and give the client what they need to hear and things to work on. Knowing in my heart that this one decision to reach out for therapy has given a lot of insight but also learning about self love. TCR is a very safe environment that allows others to open up and heal. I've had a great experience so far and would recommend TCR to anyone looking. My experience with TCR has been nothing short of helping me regain control of my life. I am forever grateful for my therapist and the work we have accomplished today and will continue to do in the future. Therapy has changed my life. No matter where you are in your life, TCR can meet you there and help. Great experience all around, thankful that I gave therapy another try and that The Cognitive Refinery was the first place I reached out to! I enjoyed every appointment that I had, and all the skills that I learned are still helping me. Very nice place to go for mental health counseling. It's been a really great experience! I've only been attending sessions for a few months but I'm already starting to detangle some the pain points I've experienced over a lifetime. TCR became a beacon of hope and a safe harbor during many dark days. I’m grateful for the help and support I’ve found there, and I recommend TCR to just about anyone who says they need therapy. The Cognitive Refinery has been transformative for me and my son. It is a safe, caring, and open-minded environment with an exceptionally talented staff that uses evidence-based practices for helping clients from all backgrounds. I have been singing TCR's praises for almost ten years now. How is that even possible? This is the first clinic I went to that I didn't quit. I felt heard, I felt understood. I have overcome so much, found a new outlook on life, relationships and myself. I feel that I have had a great experience with the staff at TCR and I have made major steps in my mental health.
