Students struggling with depression, anxiety and other mental health and substance use issues can find treatment options to fit their busy schedules with programming primarily in the afternoons and early evenings. Our programs are only available to college students, so clients can find healing and help among other students facing similar issues.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program
The Haven at College developed its outpatient program in partnership with universities and leading mental health and substance use disorder specialists. While many solutions to mental health and substance use challenges exist, few exclusively focus on the unique needs of college students. We believe students can confront their difficulties, heal, and thrive in college and life. Our program includes:
- Tailoring to the needs of each student: Our students receive a holistic solution personalized to their needs and goals. It is facilitated by a diverse team of licensed clinicians, educational counselors, mindfulness gurus, academic and wellness case managers, peer mentors and university liaisons. Treatment begins with a detailed bio-psycho-social-educational assessment that informs the treatment plan for each student.
- One-to-one counseling and psychotherapy: Each student is paired with a primary therapist that they meet with a minimum of once a week. Students remain with their therapists throughout their time at The Haven at College. Our therapists are trained in multiple modalities so they can use the techniques that work best for the student. These could include CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, attachment therapy, somatic work exercises, and EMDR to name a few.
- Group therapy: By taking part in group therapy with other college students, students can grow and form strong friendships that support healing and recovery. Group therapy with peers is a proven modality that improves success rates. The Haven at College’s group sessions are facilitated by The Haven at College staff clinicians and offer the opportunity for mirroring, goal-setting, and peer feedback. This process helps students create strong bonds with similarly situated students and avoid feeling isolated with their feelings and experiences.
- Peer Mentor: Peer mentors are graduate students or alumni of The Haven at College who are successfully navigating life and who provide experience, strength and hope to current students.
- Community: The Haven at College provides access to community events with other college students for peer support.
