What Makes Haven Health Therapy Different.
Our Mission at Haven Health Therapy
Mental Health is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is therapy.
At Haven Health Therapy, we’re not trying to do everything, just one thing exceptionally well: provide affirming, high-quality therapy for teens and adults that meets them where they are - emotionally, culturally and literally (since sessions are all virtual).
Our mission is simple: to make mental health care feel like it was designed for you.
We believe mental health care is a right, not a privilege, and we exist to support those who too often feel overlooked, misunderstood, or under-supported in traditional care.
Haven Health Verified – Haven Health’s Care Equity and Identity Therapist Training.
What Makes Us Different
Our therapists are trained to understand and respect identity from the start. Race, culture, gender, and lived experiences are honored without needing you to explain the basics. You deserve a space where therapy begins with you, not with educating your therapist.
Every Haven Health therapist is hand-selected, fully licensed, and required to complete our in-house Care Equity and Identity Therapist Training. This model of identity-affirming, culturally responsive care ensures every session is rooted in awareness, depth, and respect. That’s what it means to be Haven Health Verified.
We listen with understanding. We honor who you are. We’ve done the work.
Haven Health Care Equity and Identity Therapist Training is designed to ensure you receive support that’s not just respectful, but profoundly intentional and inclusive.
What Our Therapists Are Specially Trained To Do
Through our Care Equity and Identity Therapist Training program, every Haven Health therapist licensed clinician (LMHC, LCSW, etc.) is trained to:
Support BIPOC clients facing racial trauma, internalized oppression, cultural invalidation, and intergenerational stress.
Affirm LGBTQIA+ identities through inclusive language, correct pronoun use, and understanding of coming out, misgendering, and intersectional experiences.
Navigate cultural and family dynamics across traditions that may include respectability pressure, emotional suppression, or hierarchy in African, Caribbean, Latinx, and immigrant households.
Create safe spaces for youth who’ve been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or harmed by previous mental health providers.
Respond ethically to identity-related crises, including religious trauma, being outed, or navigating unsafe environments.
Through case studies, real-world scenarios, therapist self-reflection, and more, Haven Health’s Care Equity and Identity Training Program raises the standard for what responsible and responsive therapy should look like.
We know access means little without understanding and therapy doesn’t work unless you feel seen.
