STORMS PEOPLE BRING TO THE HAVEN
These are some of the storms we help people navigate.
Not a checklist. Just a starting point.
Our therapists work daily with individuals, couples, and families navigating these experiences. Some clients come for deep exploration. Others come for practical support and relief. Both are welcome here.
✨ Living in a constant state of pressure, exhaustion, or bracing for what’s next
✨ A heaviness or numbness that lingers and reshapes daily life
✨ Experiences that feel stuck in the body or memory
✨ Thoughts or urges that loop and refuse to quiet
✨ Living in a world that often isn’t designed for how your brain works
✨ Relational patterns that feel painful, confusing, or hard to shift
We don’t believe people fit into one category, concern, or chapter.
Our work is shaped around the whole human in front of us.
If something feels heavy, persistent, or hard to carry alone, you’re welcome here.
“I kept waiting for the moment I’d be told I was overreacting. It never came.”

THE STORM THAT PROTECTS
At Storm Haven Counseling & Wellness, we believe therapy should feel grounded, relational, and responsive.
Our work begins with listening. We take time to understand your experience, your history, and the context you live in, rather than rushing to conclusions or one-size-fits-all solutions. You are met as a whole human, with care that adapts to who you are and how you move through the world.
Behind that care is strong clinical training, used thoughtfully and always in service of the person in front of us. Our team brings diverse backgrounds and ongoing learning, allowing us to offer care that is both well-grounded and responsive to the people we serve.
Storm Haven Counseling & Wellness is a California-based group practice of therapists, including licensed therapists and pre-licensed associates, all working within an ethical framework of care.
“Nothing felt rushed. I never felt pushed to go faster than I was ready for.”

MEET THE HUMANS BEHIND THE WORK
Mental health and wellness is our jam! Each of our therapists brings their own style, specialties, and strengths.
Not sure who to choose? We’re happy to help.
How We Work
Therapy at Storm Haven is collaborative. We follow your lead.
We tailor care to support where you are now and where you want to be.
Our approach balances structure and flexibility, science and meaning. We draw from evidence-based therapies while remaining responsive to the lived reality of the person sitting with us.
Evidence-Based Approaches
Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches, including:
✨ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
✨ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
✨ Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
✨ EMDR therapy for processing experiences that feel stuck
✨ Internal Family Systems (IFS)
✨ Somatic and body-based approaches
✨ Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
✨ Psychodynamic Therapy
We work integratively, drawing from additional orientations, including Jungian and depth-oriented frameworks, when they support the work. Each person we serve receives care that is thoughtfully tailored rather than applied from a single model.
These approaches give us structure. The work itself stays human.
Alongside these, we integrate holistic and complementary practices when appropriate. These approaches are always optional and client-inspired, and may include Art Therapy, storytelling, imagery, fandom-informed therapy, archetypal work, dreamwork, energy-based practices, and creative exploration.
What We Focus On
✨ Non-pathologizing mental health care
✨ Strength-based and identity-affirming therapy
✨ Nervous system awareness and pacing
✨ Reclaiming meaning, agency, and self-trust
✨ Supporting growth in a world that often misunderstands difference
Healing happens when you are met as a whole human.
We cannot always control the waves.
But we can learn how to move with them together.
“There was structure when I needed steadiness, and flexibility when life didn’t fit a formula.”

INCLUSIVE AND AFFIRMING THERAPY
Storm Haven is a place where many kinds of people land, often after trying therapy elsewhere and feeling like something didn’t quite fit.
These are some of the experiences and identities we commonly support.
They are not boxes you need to check, and you do not need to identify with any of them fully to belong here.
We also work with people who don’t yet have language for what they’re experiencing and simply sense that something wants care or attention.
✨ Neurodivergent individuals, or those exploring what ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD may mean for them
✨ LGBTQ+ and seeking care that is expansive and respectful
✨ People navigating relationship structures of many kinds, including polyamory and ethical non-monogamy
✨ Individuals, couples, and families who want therapy that is responsive to their unique life experiences
While we name some of the communities we serve, Storm Haven welcomes people of all identities, backgrounds, beliefs, and lived experiences who are seeking thoughtful, respectful care.
All are welcome here, including those who don’t see themselves reflected above, or who are still finding language for what they’re carrying.
Many of our clients come to us after feeling unseen or misunderstood in traditional therapy spaces. They often tell us,
“I did not know a place like this existed.”
That sense of recognition, of being met as a whole person, is at the heart of our work.
“I didn’t have to translate myself here. That alone was healing.”

THERAPY WHERE YOU CAN BE REAL
“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”
— Maya Angelou
At Storm Haven Counseling & Wellness, authenticity is not something you earn. It is something you are allowed to bring with you.
The imperfect, quirky, sensitive, creative, intense, weird, and magickal parts of you are welcome here, alongside grounded, ethical clinical care. You do not need to perform wellness or present a polished version of yourself to receive care.
Here, you are not asked to fit in.
You are invited to belong.
“This was the first place I felt like I could show up exactly as I was.”
— From our community
CARE HELD WITH INTENTION AND INTEGRITY
At Storm Haven, inclusion is not just about affirmation. It is also about protection.
We practice with a high standard of clinical care, documentation, and ethical responsibility to safeguard the privacy, autonomy, and well-being of our clients. This is especially important for individuals and communities who may face heightened risk, scrutiny, or harm in other systems.
Our work is informed by an understanding of the real world contexts our clients live in, including those navigating LGBTQ+ identities, immigration related concerns, women’s bodily autonomy, military and veteran life, and other experiences shaped by systemic vulnerability or visibility.
We approach documentation, communication, and clinical decision-making with care and discretion, always in service of protecting the people who trust us with their stories.
Your privacy and safety matter here.
“I felt protected here, not just supported.”
— From our community
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT BEYOND THE THERAPY ROOM
Healing does not only happen in session. It unfolds in the rhythms of everyday life, in the moments between sessions, and in how you meet yourself along the way.
Through the Haven Blog, Haven Podcast, and The Nerdie Therapist, we offer reflections, education, and tools rooted in lived experience rather than clinical jargon. Topics include neurodivergence, anxiety, identity, relationships, nervous system care, fandom informed therapy, and reclaiming meaning.
These resources are here to support you between sessions and help you stay connected to your growth, at your own pace.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO NAVIGATE THIS ALONE
Storm Haven Counseling & Wellness is a place to rest, reflect, and rebuild at your own pace.
When you are ready, we will be here.
You are welcome to come in from the storm. We’re here when you’re ready.
