Tell us what's going on
A short, plain-language questionnaire — what brought you here, what you've tried, what you want in a therapist. No diagnosis required, and no wrong answers.
Takes about 10 minutes
Matched with a therapist in 48 hours on average
You don't have to hold it all together alone.
Haven pairs you with a licensed therapist who actually fits — your history, your identity, your schedule. Talk from your kitchen table, your parked car, wherever you feel most like yourself.

How Haven works
Three steps. No waiting rooms.
Most people put off starting because the first move feels like the hardest one. We made it about ten minutes long.
We hand-match you
A licensed care coordinator reviews your answers and sends three therapists who fit — with their approach, their credentials, and a short intro video from each.
Within 48 hours
Book your first session
Pick a time that works — evenings and weekends included. If the fit isn't right after a session or two, switch. It costs nothing and it's not a setback.

Sessions on your terms
Therapy in the room you already feel safe in
There's no commute, no clipboard, no lobby full of people avoiding eye contact. You open Haven from the couch, the porch, or the parked car outside work — and you begin.
- Video, phone, or messaging — some weeks you want to be seen, some weeks you want to type. Both count.
- Evenings and weekends so you don't have to explain a mid-afternoon absence to anyone.
- Message between sessions and your therapist replies within one business day.
- Private by design — end-to-end encrypted, HIPAA-compliant, and never sold to advertisers.

Members
In their own words
Shared with permission. First names and initials only — that's how we do everything here.
I'd been telling myself I wasn't "bad enough" for therapy for about six years. The questionnaire didn't make me prove anything. I just answered honestly and someone called me back.
My first match wasn't right and I panicked — I thought I'd wrecked it. I clicked "switch," and two days later I met the person I've now seen for eleven months.
We'd been quietly circling the same argument for two years. Doing couples sessions from our own living room, on our own couch, somehow made it possible to actually say the thing.
If you're in crisis, please don't wait for a match
Haven is built for ongoing, scheduled care — it is not an emergency service, and our therapists are not available around the clock. If you're having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, or you're worried about someone who is, reach out to people who can respond right now.
In the US, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7, free and confidential. You can also text HOME to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line, or call 911 in an immediate emergency. Outside the US, find your local line →
Questions
The things people ask first
How do I know if I actually need therapy?
You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. People come to Haven for panic attacks and for a vague, persistent sense that something's off. Both are legitimate reasons. If you've been wondering whether to start for a while, that wondering is usually its own answer.
What if I don't click with the therapist I'm matched with?
Then you switch, and nothing about that is a failure — fit is the single biggest predictor of whether therapy helps. Tap "Find someone new" in your account and a care coordinator sends fresh matches within 48 hours. It's free, it's unlimited, and your original therapist isn't notified with any detail.
Do you take my insurance?
We're in-network with Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, Kaiser Permanente, Humana, Oscar, Anthem and Carelon. Enter your member ID during sign-up and we'll show your real per-session cost before you book anything — most covered members pay $25–$45 per session.
Is any of this private?
Yes. Sessions are end-to-end encrypted, Haven is HIPAA-compliant, and your therapist's notes are visible only to your care team. We do not sell or share member data with advertisers, insurers-for-marketing, or data brokers — full stop. You can export or delete your records at any time.
Can Haven prescribe medication?
Our psychiatric providers can, in every state where we operate, for most conditions — though controlled substances have state-by-state limits we'll explain before your evaluation. If medication makes sense, your psychiatrist and your therapist coordinate directly instead of leaving you to relay messages between them.
What happens in the very first session?
Mostly, you talk and they listen. Your therapist will ask what brought you here, what you've already tried, and what a good outcome would look like for you. You don't need to prepare anything, and you're allowed to say "I don't know" as many times as you need to.
