about
Ann Marie works with individuals dealing with anxiety, panic, mood challenges, life transitions, parenting ups and downs, and relationship struggles.

Emily Labukas, MS, LMFT
Therapist
Emily works with individuals as well as couples who are dealing with anxiety and mood disorders, life transitions and adjustments, and relationship difficulties. We all can use support at times to organize and make sense of our own thoughts. Emily’s approach is conversational and collaborative, so that clients feel like they have someone in their corner.
Starting haven came from a desire to carve out a fresh, more relaxed space in the mental health world—something that felt less clinical and more like catching up with a trusted friend. The goal was to break away from the traditional, buttoned-up vibe and create an environment where people could show up as they are, no pressure, no pretense. It’s about making therapy feel approachable, warm, and human—because healing doesn’t have to happen in a stiff chair under fluorescent lights. Sometimes, the best breakthroughs come when you feel safe enough to just breathe and be real.
