I’ll be honest—I didn’t always prioritize my mental health the way I do now. But that started to change when I found Heidi Bohman at Healing Haven Counseling in Northern Kentucky .
After switching insurance plans, I was scrolling through the list of in-network providers when Heidi’s name stood out. I can’t explain it exactly—I just knew she was going to be the right fit. I reached out via text, and Heidi responded so promptly and kindly that I already felt a sense of comfort. We scheduled a quick phone consultation, and within minutes of talking, I felt heard, supported, and at ease. Heidi was warm, inviting, and made it so easy to take that first step. Before I knew it, we had my first appointment booked—and I haven’t looked back since.
That experience reminded me just how important mental health support is. Not just when things fall apart, but as a regular part of caring for yourself.
Mental Health Deserves a Spot on Your Calendar
We schedule doctor appointments, dentist cleanings, oil changes—so why not a mental health check-in?
The therapists at Healing Haven Counseling, believe that mental wellness is more than a buzzword. It’s about creating space to pause, reflect, and grow. Regular mental health check-ins help us catch things early, understand ourselves better, and avoid bigger challenges down the road.
Therapy Isn’t Just for “Crisis Mode”
Let’s get one thing straight: you don’t need to be in crisis to see a therapist. Healing Haven believes therapy can be one of the healthiest choices you make even when things are going okay. Whether you’re managing stress, navigating big life transitions, or simply want to feel more balanced, therapy offers a safe space to sort through it all.
And if you’re nervous about your first session? That’s completely normal. Just showing up is a powerful first step. You don’t have to have the right words or know exactly what to say. Therapists like Heidi are here to support you—right where you
What’s EMDR and Why Are People Talking About It?
One of the most talked-about therapies at Healing Haven is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). It might sound technical at first, but according to Heidi, it’s actually a gentle and straightforward process—with powerful results.
“EMDR helps your brain reprocess difficult memories so they don’t feel so heavy,” Heidi explains. “It’s like taking old, overwhelming experiences and putting them in a drawer—organized, processed, and no longer running in the background of your mind.”
She shares that many people begin to notice a shift after just a few sessions. “You don’t forget the memory,” she says, “but it stops having that same emotional grip. You gain clarity, control, and a greater sense of peace.”
Personalized Therapy that Feels Like You
At Healing Haven, there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all therapy. Your story, your needs, and your goals are unique—and your therapist will tailor each session to fit you. The therapists use different techniques like CBT, mindfulness, talk therapy, and of course, EMDR, to meet you where you are and help you move forward.
Healing Haven therapists are also constantly learning and growing—because they care deeply about showing up as their best selves for you. The therapists themselves are supportorted with a healthy, balanced work environment (which honestly makes the whole place feel extra welcoming).
Healing Goes Beyond the Office
At Healing Haven, they believe that true healing doesn’t start and stop in the therapy room—it’s something you carry with you into every part of your life. Mental health wellness is a lifestyle, and their mission is to support you every step of the way.
That’s why they encourage their clients to nurture their emotional well-being through simple, intentional practices like:

Above all, they encourage you to check in with yourself regularly. Mental health is a journey, and even the smallest steps forward can lead to powerful, lasting change.
