How Haven Began

HAVEN Wellness Counseling was created in a charming little cottage tucked away along the north shore of Long Island. Founded by Taylor Blanket, a board-certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker, HAVEN emerged from the need to provide a place of safety and refuge to those seeking healing in a world filled with uncertainties. The impact of a global pandemic left many individuals, families, and communities rattled.

Upon opening its doors in September of 2022, HAVEN steadily became a safe space offering enriching therapeutic services amidst the chaos of the world. In 2024, we expanded and took root in our Smithtown location, where our mission has flourished, allowing us to reach and support even more individuals and families.

Our mission at HAVEN is to walk alongside those who are hurting, offering hope, healing, and freedom through compassionate, informed care. We believe wise counsel provides safety and strength for individuals, families, and communities. Over time, this mission has naturally grown to include faith-based Christian counseling. While we joyfully serve people from all walks of life and honor each person’s unique beliefs, we have seen a growing number of clients specifically seeking therapy grounded in Christian values.

At HAVEN, we specialize in addressing trauma through informed care. We most commonly work with folks navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. We believe that everyone has the capacity to heal from the struggles they face, and we cannot wait to partner with you in overcoming them. Our team of licensed, professional, and deeply caring staff looks forward to supporting you every step of the way.
