About Our Program
We believe that only in an environment based on unconditional love can young women suffering from attachment-related issues truly find healing. In such an environment, young women can find the trust and relationships that they need to assist them along the pathway towards healing. To achieve this environment of healing, we operate what is known as Positive Peer Culture. It allows young women to not only take accountability for their own healing but to help others do the same.
It is within this environment of unconditional love that we utilize a number of evidence-based therapeutic methods that have been adapted to specifically address issues involving Reactive Attachment Disorder and related issues. These therapies include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Experiential Therapy and Equine Therapy. Our therapists also run drug and alcohol groups, suicide prevention groups and other appropriate groups to assist with overall healing.
We Treat Disorders, Not Symptoms
Learn how Havenwood focuses on treating the core traumas and issues
instead of masking the symptoms of their behavior temporarily.
Conditions We Treat
Trauma and Reactive Attachment Disorder are often accompanied, or even masked by, other issues, including behavioral issues, that must be treated and managed. Although Havenwood specializes in trauma and attachment-related issues, we also treat conditions your daughter is likely struggling with. Some of these conditions that your daughter may be experiencing may include everything found below.
Reactive Attachment Disorder
Reactive attachment disorder (“RAD”) and other attachment problems occur in children who have been unable to consistently connect with a parent or primary caregiver especially during the period between birth and five (5) years of age.
Warning Signs of Suicide
Suicide can occur without warning signs when, for example, a person finds themselves in an unbearable and overwhelming situation and decides to act on impulse. However, if you are aware of some general suicide warning signs you may be able to help.
Anxiety in Teenagers
Anxiety is very common in teenagers and its occurrence is increasing rapidly. In fact, of all the mental disorders suffered by teenagers, anxiety is the most common. Anxiety can manifest itself in different ways which makes it rather difficult to clearly define.
Teenage Drug and Alcohol Abuse
If you believe that your teenager has ingested a harmful substance call 911 immediately. Havenwood specializes in helping teenagers who have drug and alcohol problems. We would be happy to consult with you to determine how we can help.
Abnormal Teenage Anger
Most teenagers will experience certain levels of anger and aggression as they grow and mature. Anger and aggression, often rooted in frustration, can be fairly common in the early adolescence and can be confrontational as these youngsters try to establish their independence.
Depression in Teenagers

Eating Disorders and Warning Signs

Common Addictions For Troubled Teen Girls
