With over three decades of experience as an educator, Angela Rawls has dedicated her life to supporting children, adolescents, and families—advocating not only for their academic success but also for their emotional and mental well-being. Throughout her career, she has witnessed firsthand how anxiety, trauma, and behavioral health challenges can hold individuals back, often leaving them without the support or resources they truly need.
A pivotal moment in Angela’s journey occurred when she saw a bright, promising student slowly withdraw due to unresolved trauma. Despite the best efforts of teachers and counselors, the lack of accessible, specialized care left the student struggling in silence. It was then that Angela realized real change starts beyond the classroom—it starts with creating a space where individuals of all ages can access compassionate, evidence-based mental health care.
That vision became a reality through a partnership built on a shared passion for mental wellness. Kelly Higgins, who has spent the last 15 years running a successful behavioral health company, has provided critical services to individuals and families in need. With Kelly’s deep expertise in behavioral health operations and Angela’s background in education and advocacy, they joined forces to create a place where people could receive the comprehensive support they deserve.
Together, they established Safe Haven Behavioral Health—a place that feels less like a clinic and more like a sanctuary. Their mission is to provide personalized, holistic mental health services that empower individuals to regain control of their lives. Safe Haven integrates traditional therapy, innovative neurofeedback treatment, and a whole-person approach to mental wellness. Unlike many behavioral health providers, they don’t just focus on symptoms; they focus on understanding each person’s unique journey and equipping them with the tools they need for lasting healing.
