About MindfulHaven
Where science meets human warmth
Since 2012, we've been New York City's most trusted boutique mental wellness center — blending rigorous clinical practice with genuine compassion.
Our Story
A practice born from personal conviction
Dr. Amara Osei opened MindfulHaven in 2012 after a decade of clinical work in hospital settings. She saw too many patients who waited years before seeking help — not because they didn't need it, but because the environments they encountered felt cold, rushed, or inaccessible.
“I wanted to build a practice that felt like a sanctuary,” Dr. Osei explains. “A place where you walk in carrying the weight of the world, and leave feeling just slightly lighter — every single time.”
Starting with a single office in the West Village, MindfulHaven has grown to a full eight-therapist team serving over 1,200 clients annually. In 2019, we launched our corporate wellness division after recognizing that burnout had become a public health emergency hiding in plain sight.
Today, MindfulHaven is recognized by Psychology Today, Vogue Wellness, and Mindful Magazine as one of New York's leading boutique mental health practices — and we're just getting started.
What We Stand For
Our four core commitments
Whole-Person Care
We treat the mind, body, and context — not just symptoms. Every plan accounts for your full life: work, relationships, culture, and history.
Evidence-Based Practice
Our therapists use only clinically validated modalities: CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, and trauma-informed care backed by decades of research.
Radical Accessibility
We accept major insurance plans, offer sliding scale fees, and provide telehealth options so geography and budget are never barriers.
Continuous Growth
Every therapist at MindfulHaven participates in monthly supervision and ongoing training. Your care is always current.
