THE STORM THAT PROTECTS
At Storm Haven Counseling & Wellness, we believe therapy should feel grounded, relational, and responsive.
We do not reduce your experience to a diagnosis unless it serves you. You are not expected to speak in therapy jargon to be understood here. Healing happens when you are met as a whole human, not asked to conform to a model that never quite fit.
Behind that care is strong clinical training, used thoughtfully and always in service of the person in front of us.
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
✨ Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
✨ Psychodynamic Therapy
Alongside these, we integrate holistic and complementary practices when appropriate. These approaches are always optional and client-led, and may include storytelling, imagery, fandom informed therapy, archetypal work, dreamwork, energy-based practices, and creative exploration.
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.
WE ARE NOT YOUR TYPICAL THERAPISTS
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.
WHERE WE TEND TO DO OUR BEST WORK
These are some of the storms we help people navigate.
Not a checklist. Just a starting point.
✨ Anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation
✨ Depression, grief, loss, and major life transitions
✨ Trauma, PTSD, and experiences that feel stuck or hard to move through
✨ OCD, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive or looping patterns
✨ Neurodivergence, ADHD, AuDHD, sensitivity, and identity exploration
✨ Relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, and communication challenges
✨ Non-traditional relationships, including polyamory and ethical non-monogamy
✨ Religious trauma, body image, self-worth, and personal growth
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.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re in the right place.
INCLUSIVE AND AFFIRMING THERAPY
Storm Haven is intentionally inclusive, affirming, and relational.
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 or questioning what that means for them, including ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD affirming care
✨ LGBTQ+ and seeking care that is expansive and respectful
✨ Navigating traditional and non-traditional relationships, including polyamory and ethical non-monogamy
✨ Individuals, couples, and families who want therapy that does not feel rigid or shaming
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.
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.
EVIDENCE-BASED AND HOLISTIC THERAPY IN CALIFORNIA
Therapy at Storm Haven is a collaborative partnership using science-informed and meaning-centered therapy for the whole person.
We follow your lead, respect your nervous system, and tailor therapy to support where you are now and where you want to be.
Our approach balances structure and flexibility, science and meaning.
✨ Non-pathologizing mental health care
✨ Strength-based and identity affirming therapy
✨ Nervous system awareness
✨ Reclaiming meaning, agency, and self trust
✨ Supporting growth in a world that often misunderstands difference
This is therapy as rewilding.
A remembering of who you were before the world told you who to be.
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. 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.
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, even if you are unsure.
