The Haven philosophy is that "human beings can best realize their full potential by embracing the principles of self-responsibility and wholesome relationship with others and the world around them" and it "promotes a society where human beings are fully present and alive." The Haven's integrative body/mind/spirit approach combines cognitive verbal techniques with breath and bodywork methods, and is used in working with individuals to promote mental and emotional health. 

Core themes include: Self- discovery/Awareness, Body, Breath and Energy, Interpersonal Communications, Relationships, Life Issues, Sexuality, Creative Expression, Children and Teenagers, and Counseling Skills Development.
