Licence verification
We confirm an active, unrestricted licence with the issuing state board, and re-check it at every renewal cycle.
Every Haven clinician holds an active licence in the state where they practise, carries at least three years of post-licensure experience, and has passed a clinical interview with our care team.

Roughly one in seven applicants joins the roster. These are the four things that decide it.
We confirm an active, unrestricted licence with the issuing state board, and re-check it at every renewal cycle.
A minimum of three years of clinical work after licensure. Supervised training hours don't count toward it.
A case-based conversation with our clinical team about how they actually work — not a résumé review.
Every clinician joins a monthly peer consultation group and is reviewed annually against member feedback.

Amara works mostly with people whose anxiety has quietly become the operating system — the over-preparing, the 3am replays, the sense that vigilance is the only thing holding it together. Her approach is structured and collaborative: you'll leave sessions with something concrete to try, and she'll ask honestly the next week whether it helped.
She has a particular focus on the perinatal period, including the anxieties that don't fit the postpartum-depression script people expect.
Marcus works with trauma at the pace the person sets, which in practice means a lot of first sessions where nothing traumatic is discussed at all. He is direct about what the work involves and what it costs in energy, and he would rather you arrive at it slowly than leave after three weeks.
Much of his practice is with veterans and first responders, and with people who have been told before that they were “too functional” to need help.
Rosa sees couples who have been circling the same argument long enough to know all of its moves. Her first job is usually slowing the conversation down far enough that both people can hear the sentence underneath the one being said out loud.
She also works with couples deciding whether to separate, and is clear that a good outcome is sometimes a kind ending rather than a repair.
Naomi handles evaluation and ongoing medication management, and treats the decision to medicate as genuinely yours to make. She will tell you what a medication is likely to do, what it may cost you in side effects, and what the alternatives are — including not medicating.
She coordinates directly with your therapist rather than leaving you to carry messages between two clinicians who have never spoken.
Across all states, these are the areas Haven clinicians work in most. Tell us yours in the questionnaire and we match against it.
Generalised anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, social anxiety, and the low-grade dread that never quite resolves.
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, seasonal patterns, and the flatness that arrives after a long stretch of coping.
Single-incident and complex trauma, including childhood experiences that were never named as such at the time.
Bereavement, anticipatory grief, and losses that aren't socially recognised — estrangement, miscarriage, a life that didn't happen.
Communication breakdown, recurring conflict, infidelity, and decisions about whether to stay or separate.
Assessment referral, strategy work, and the shame that often arrives with a late diagnosis.
LGBTQ+ identity, cultural and faith identity, immigration and displacement, and finding therapists with matching lived experience.
Occupational burnout, moral injury in caring professions, and the point where a job stops being survivable.
Haven provides ongoing outpatient care. We are not set up for inpatient treatment, court-ordered assessment, or acute crisis response — if you need one of those, we'll say so plainly and help you look elsewhere.
Haven clinicians set their own hours and caseload ceilings, keep their own clinical judgement, and are paid per completed session with no unpaid admin quota.
