Get to Know Us

The Haven Collective represents a family of therapists and coaches facilitating a unique, integrated approach to mental health and wellness, leveraging the restorative power of nature and animals. This comprehensive entity unites Haven Professional Counseling (a for-profit counseling practice), The Oaks at Haven (a non-profit organization focused on accessibility and outreach), and Haven Family Farms (the foundational future property where we will be providing a unique therapeutic and agricultural environment).

​

Our goal is to deliver cutting edge, trauma-informed therapies that focus on children and families, while also providing essential early interventions focused on mental health and attachment therapies for mothers, infants, and early childhood, children, youth, and adults.

​

These services are offered through traditional clinical counseling, multi-day intensive sessions, and retreats situated on working farms. Our unique approach combines animal-assisted and nature-based therapies, with somatic body based interventions offering distinctive therapeutic and developmental advantages for both your child and family.
