In a heartfelt announcement, Haven Professional Counseling is set to embark on a transformative journey, beginning October 2, 2025. The organization is evolving its group therapy offerings, aiming to better serve families while nurturing a profound sense of community and healing.
What’s New?
As part of this new chapter, Haven will introduce several exciting changes that promise to enhance the therapy experience for families:
Monthly Family Group Sessions: Group therapy will now convene once a month, specifically on the first Thursday of each month, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. This regularity aims to provide a consistent space for families to come together.
Family Counseling Interventions: Under the guidance of Lisa Shaw and Jen Thumm, these sessions will incorporate family counseling interventions. Families will join their children, fostering a more inclusive and supportive atmosphere for everyone involved.
Parent and Guardian Participation: In a significant shift, parents and guardians are invited to attend family counseling interventions alongside their children, encouraging active involvement and shared experiences during group activities.
Community-Building Activities: Families will engage in various activities organized by the dedicated Haven Family Night Host Team, designed to strengthen connections and promote collaboration.

Benefits for Families
The introduction of Haven Family Nights comes with numerous benefits for participating families:
Strengthens family bonds through shared activities, creating lasting memories.
Provides a supportive environment where parents and children can thrive together.
Connects families who are experiencing similar challenges, fostering understanding and camaraderie.
Creates enjoyable spaces for children to form friendships and build relationships.
Offers a safe haven where families can heal collectively, reinforcing their emotional resilience.

Billing and Donations
To support these enriching activities, a suggested donation of $25-30 per month to our non-profit arm, The Oaks at Haven, is encouraged. This contribution will help cover the costs of activities and support our host families. However, any amount is appreciated, as it helps pay it forward for other families in need.
As Haven Professional Counseling prepares for this exciting evolution, the team looks forward to growing together and supporting one another on this journey of healing and connection. The future is bright, and the community awaits with open arms.
