Havenwood Salt Lake City

Havenwood Salt Lake City is a residential treatment center for girls, ages 11 to 13 and boys from ages 11 to 18. Havenwood Academy is deeply trauma-focused and the majority of students are adopted. All have a significant trauma history. At Havenwood, relationships are the change agent. Therapy, groups, residential living, experiential interventions, and schooling are designed around the concept of attunement in relationship with others as a means of healing the traumatized brain.

Havenwood Academy tailors therapy to each student, combining individual, family, group, experiential, and recreational therapy with the informal support woven into daily residential life. All of it happens within a relationship-centered model grounded in Dr. Bruce Perry's Neurosequential approach, with a low staff-to-student ratio. Families are part of the work, too: when appropriate, parents join weekly family therapy and follow a plan built with their daughter's therapist to strengthen the home environment and set the whole family up for lasting change.

Havenwood Academy is licensed by the Utah Department of Human Services, Division of Licensing. Havenwood (through its affiliate Havenwood Schools) is accredited by Cognia and provides a full range of accredited educational, remedial, and career services.
