Healing Haven Behavioral Health and Autism Therapy Services
Founder led and family owned therapy: ABA, Occupational & Speech Therapy, Assessments & Counseling in Madison Heights, Farmington Hills and Clinton Township.
Providing Behavioral Health & Therapy Services for Families of Children with Special Needs. We provide one service location for families seeking out therapies for their child diagnosed with autism or other developmental needs. Our expert team provides ABA Therapy, Speech and Occupational therapies on our one-of-a-kind therapy campus in Madison Heights for ages 2 up to young adult and in our Farmington Hills clinic for children up to age 8. We also provide autism testing and evaluation services for parents searching for answers on their child's development. The foundation of Healing Haven started with stress management for parents who have a child diagnosed with autism or other special needs. Our services grew over time to meet the demand for families in search of help for their children. But we remain committed to providing counseling and stress management for parents, as well as behavioral counseling for children and teens who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, socialization and navigating their world.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s Café & Marketplace! ❤️💚💙
This recurring favorite isn’t just fun—it gives our teen and young adult clients at our Madison Heights campus the opportunity to showcase their creativity while building meaningful vocational skills by "selling" their handmade items.
December’s holiday-themed event featured festive stockings, goodie bags, bracelets, keychains, and of course, our always-popular popcorn. A huge shoutout to our incredible staff who make it all possible. Stay tuned for our first Café & Marketplace of 2026 coming next month!

New Year. New Career. Real Impact.
Start the new year with work that truly matters. At Healing Haven, we’re more than an ABA clinic—we’re a supportive, mission-driven community committed to growth, learning, and compassionate care.
Whether you’re beginning your journey in ABA or looking for a healthier, more fulfilling workplace, Healing Haven offers meaningful work, strong mentorship, and a culture that prioritizes people—clients and staff alike.
“Healing Haven has been a major step up from my previous ABA clinic—organized, clean, full of friendly staff, and grounded in a genuinely positive culture. If I had started here first, I would’ve felt far more prepared for the ABA field. The level of education, training, and modeling offered here makes all the difference," said a current Behavior Technician.
Physical activity isn’t just about movement—it’s about building confidence, reducing stress, and supporting overall well-being. For children with autism, fitness can play a powerful role in improving motor skills, emotional regulation, and social engagement.
Now is a great time to explore these activities, many of which can be done indoors! From yoga to simple strength exercises, there are creative ways to keep kids active and thriving through Winter and beyond.
Discover the benefits of fitness for children with autism, practical tips for parents, and programs in Metro Detroit that support wellness.

"I cannot say enough about the incredible staff and personalized care at Healing Haven. We transferred our son from another ABA clinic with several hesitations, as his needs can be complex. The transition was remarkably smooth, and he adapted quickly," said one parent.
At Healing Haven, we provide compassionate, individualized ABA therapy designed to help children, teens and young adults with autism thrive. Our team partners with families to create a supportive environment where progress feels possible—and celebrated.
Immediate openings for morning ABA sessions are available now across our 3 metro Detroit locations.

We are a Behavioral Health Center of Excellence providing ABA Therapy for children with autism and other developmental needs from the ages of 2-16. We serve the entire family through our Parent Training Program, Stress Management and Counseling.
Founded in 2010 by Jamie McGillivary, MS, LLP, BCBA, we are a team of professionals that have dedicated our lives to bettering the lives of families of children with special needs. We specialize in autism, though we are skilled at treating all children that have behavioral issues or deficits in the area of socialization, language and play.
We are “out of the box” thinkers when it comes to our treatment approach that is rooted in ABA therapy. We believe in listening to each family’s unique set of needs, and creating a plan that treats everyone in the family, all while meeting each person where they are at in their journey.
Research very clearly states that early intervention for children with developmental disabilities is a must. When children receive intervention early on, the likelihood of negative behaviors decreases, because appropriate behaviors are taught from the beginning.
Although the premise of early intervention is logical, very little consideration has been given to the concept of early intervention for parental coping skills. When a parent is given the tools to both teach their child and take care of themselves, they maximize their child’s outcome, while maintaining the cohesiveness within their family.
