Betrayal cuts deep.

Whether it’s infidelity, emotional secrecy, broken promises, or discovering a truth you were never meant to find out, betrayal can feel like the ground disappears beneath you.

Whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship, knowing your attachment style gives you clarity, confidence, and language for your needs.
Let’s break down Attachment 101 for the modern dating world.

We grow up hearing fairytales, watching rom-coms, and listening to love songs that promise one day, you’ll find your person.
It sounds magical… but for many, it also feels confusing, intimidating, or even a little discouraging.

The holiday season is often portrayed as a time of joy, family gatherings, and celebration. But for many people, the reality is different — the holidays can bring feelings of loneliness, sadness, or disconnection. Whether you’re away from family, have lost a loved one, or simply feel out of step with the season, these emotions are valid and common.

Life is full of transitions — moving to a new city, ending or starting a relationship, changing careers, or navigating personal growth. These shifts can feel exciting, but they can also bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional upheaval. At Lavender Haven Counseling, we believe that every transition is an opportunity to connect with yourself, process emotions, and step into a more authentic, balanced life.

Most people come to therapy wondering, “Is something wrong with my relationship?” But often, the issue isn’t the relationship itself — it’s a pattern that keeps showing up, repeating the same emotional choreography over and over again.

The holidays can bring warmth, joy, and connection — but they can also stir up stress, guilt, and old family patterns.

For many people, the decision to begin counseling is deeply personal

Burnout in This Season: Finding Space to Breathe Again

Boundaries aren’t walls meant to push people away. Instead, they’re bridges that help us connect with others in a healthier, more authentic way.

Your inner child deserves tenderness, not judgment. Lavender Haven Counseling offers a safe space to reconnect, heal, and grow.

Anxiety as a Messenger, Not a Monster

Anxiety often shows up when something inside of us feels threatened — even if the "threat" isn't obvious or logical in the present moment.

The Myth: Therapy Is Only for “When Things Fall Apart”

Our culture often promotes the idea that you need to wait until you’re drowning before asking for help.
But waiting until a crisis hits can make healing more complicated.

If you’re navigating a major transition and feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Lavender Haven Counseling can help you find steady ground again.
