    Counseling Across the Hawaiian Islands

    Counseling is a broad category of professional mental health support focused on helping individuals, couples, and families navigate emotional difficulties, life transitions, relationship challenges, and psychological symptoms. It differs from psychotherapy primarily in scope and depth — counseling tends to be more present-focused and solution-oriented, while psychotherapy often involves longer-term exploration of patterns and underlying dynamics — though in practice the boundary between the two is fluid, and many licensed practitioners offer both. In Hawaiʻi, counseling services reflect the particular stressors and strengths of island life: a high cost of living, geographic isolation for many communities, multicultural family systems, and — especially in the years following 2023's Lahaina fire — acute community trauma that has deepened the need for accessible mental health support across Maui and beyond.

    Counselors are working on all four major Hawaiian islands, in private practice, community health centers, school settings, and integrated wellness clinics. Oʻahu has the highest concentration, with particularly strong infrastructure in Honolulu. Maui, the Big Island, and Kauaʻi have smaller but active provider communities, and telehealth has meaningfully expanded access for residents on more remote parts of each island. Sessions are typically 50 minutes, weekly or biweekly, and may be conducted in person or via secure video.

    Licensed counselors in Hawaiʻi hold credentials such as LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), or LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor). Some practitioners specialize in specific populations — children, couples, LGBTQ+ clients, veterans — or in specific modalities like trauma-informed care or somatic therapy. Counseling on Oʻahu and on Maui are good starting points for finding the right fit.

    CounselingMeditation

    Challenges such as depression, anxiety, addiction, or relationship difficulties, however painful, allow us to look more deeply at ourselves and find new solutions. There are times when we may need to feel extra support, and when an outside view helps us to gain clarity and insight. At other times, we may want a guide to help us dig deeper into past issues in order to understand and change the patterns and habits that keep us from living the kind of fulfilling lives we so desire. I believe that a safe, secure, and non-judgmental therapeutic presence inspires greater curiosity and compassion toward ourselves, so that we can begin to gain insight into our behaviors and make the kinds of changes that lead to greater happiness and more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. For more than fifteen years, I have been working with individuals, couples, and adolescents as a psychotherapist. Some of the skills that I bring to the therapeutic relationship are: a deep care and compassion for the struggles and difficulties that clients face, a great respect for each person's unique path, a keen interest in the workings of the psyche, and an unshakable belief in everyone's capacity for growth and wholeness. I believe that the disruptions and struggles we encounter can be true opportunities for making valuable changes in our lives. You may need short-term support to learn tools for specific situations. Or you may want to dig more deeply into the unconscious motivations that have shaped your patterns of relating. We will work together to accomplish the goals you choose. My training in clinical psychology has provided me with many effective tools. I also bring to this work a depth psychology perspective, which means that I am very interested and attuned to the unconscious, including dreams. When appropriate, I try to introduce mindfulness to clients. Mindfulness is a non-judgmental approach that allows one to have deeper awareness and compassion with difficult emotions as they arise.
