About
Havenwood Academy is a residential treatment center in Cedar City, Utah, for adolescent girls with complex trauma, attachment-related needs, and related behavioral or emotional difficulties. Its official materials describe the program as licensed by the Utah Department of Human Services and accredited by the Joint Commission; directory listings also identify education through Havenwood Schools as accredited by Cognia (official site, NATSAP listing).
The program is marketed as a long-term residential setting combining therapy, accredited academics, family work, and experiential services. Public directory and provider listings describe Havenwood as serving girls in the adolescent age range, with NATSAP listing ages 13 to 18 and Psychology Today describing a focus on teen girls with significant trauma histories (Psychology Today, All Kinds of Therapy).
Havenwood has also appeared in public reporting about oversight of youth treatment programs in Utah. APM Reports reported in 2021 on allegations involving equine-program discipline practices at Havenwood and wrote that state licensing records showed the program's license remained in good standing after investigations (APM Reports).
