Haven Ohly

Haven Ohly, LISW, is a licensed therapist in Ohio with 20 years of experience providing trauma-informed care, with a primary emphasis on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an approach designed to help people process and move through distressing memories and life events. He is dedicated to supporting individuals as they work through past wounds, make sense of painful experiences, and strengthen emotional resilience, while honoring how trauma can affect the mind, body, and relationships.

In addition to therapy, Haven serves as a Clinical Director at a substance use disorder (SUD) treatment center, where he supports individuals and families navigating recovery. As someone who is also personally in recovery, he brings both professional expertise and lived experience into the work, approaching clients in a genuine, nonjudgmental manner while maintaining clear structure and clinical integrity.

Raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Haven’s background continues to influence his values and commitment to serving diverse and often underserved communities. He recognizes the ways environment, adversity, and systemic challenges can shape well-being and aims to offer a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood.

Haven works with concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. He also supports clients facing social anxiety, communication difficulties, identity and purpose exploration, and changes connected to divorce, aging, or personal transformation. His style blends support with practical direction, helping clients explore their experiences while building tools for real-life change. For clients who want it, he can integrate faith-based perspectives, respecting the role spirituality may play in healing.
