As a practicing psychologist for over 20 years I have been privileged to be part of my client's lives. I moved from San Diego to the Big Island of Hawaii in 1996. My specialties have changed and developed through the years. Now I specialize in the treatment of adults suffering from trauma, addiction related illness, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and coping with illness. I have a particular interest in women's issues including domestic violence, work/life balance, parenting young adults, and menopause. I work with women and men facing transition points in their lives as they create renewed meaning in life.

Being our most resilient, healthy self is a process of acceptance and skill building. It is particularly hard when anger, sadness, and worry get in the way of connecting with others, advancing professionally, or maintaining health. It is important to have a safe place to process and solve life transitions without judgment. I utilize evidenced based psychotherapy and assessment to restore value based cognitions, mindfulness and healthy behaviors. Specialized treatment planning is the first stage of the process. Adults, adolescents, couples, and specialized assessment cases (ages 7 to 80+) are encouraged to schedule a consultation appointment.

People use therapy to help change themselves or deal with life challenges. Oftentimes, therapy may involve revealing significant parts of ourselves, our relationships, or life circumstances. Therapy can help reduce or alleviate problems to help us live more fulfilling lives. Therapy is a partnership between you and me. Together, we identify goals of your treatment, we work on skills, and we resolve to improve ourselves and our life condition. I believe there are various ways to approach issues. My experience and belief is that many of our life’s challenges and pains stem from the way we think about ourselves and the world.

Aloha, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for over 18 years. My approach to therapy is to build trusting relationships that allow for honesty and authenticity.

In the work, we focus on acquiring tools to live in our ever changing world, developing new narratives and cultivating increased awareness.

As the founder and owner of Thomas J. Jameson Family Counseling, LLC. I am a clinician with many years of direct experience working with individuals seeking solutions.

Aloha, 3/22/23 I am not taking clients at this time. Openings for new clients do occur every month, if you wish to contact me, email is the best. I have been counseling and life coaching for 30 years, 10 years as a trained psychotherapist. I’ve recently returned to Kona after 3 years on Oahu. I am here to work with any adults experiencing high levels of stress, depression, frustration and anxiety. I do not speak out of a book, I do not judge. The confidentiality of anyone I work with is very important to me. My goal is to understand your problem, then work together with you to find lasting solutions that you are invested in.

Aloha, I am a Couples and Family Therapist. My approach emphasizes the importance of working with a couple and family as a system that influence one another. To restructure healthy relationships, I use therapies that promote positive interactions between individuals. My methods include trans-generational, structural family therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and Gottman Therapy. I use exercises such as enactments to help clients set new appropriate boundaries, build love maps to improve interactions and establish loving communication.

Today, more than ever, we are faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges on a personal, familial, communal, national, and global level. At best, it has caused us to reset our priorities, develop character, and engage in better self-care. At worst, we have experienced severe loss, often feeling isolated, alienated, and stuck. Perhaps depression and anxiety have encroached on every aspect of life, leaving interpersonal relationships significantly strained in an unparalleled way. Whatever the case, healing is possible with intentional action steered toward achieving a more fulfilling life, even in the face of adversity.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with personal and/or professional challenges? Are you having problems with your relationships or at work? Is your child or adolescent exhibiting emotional and/or behavioral problems? Are you faced with challenging life-transitions? I offer a variety of modalities to work with individuals, couples and families who are experiencing the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, divorce, aging or other life issues.

Could you benefit from some extra support so you can get back on track to focus on things that are important, so that you spend less time, energy and effort dealing with STRESS? Do you need a place to process things going on with you without the bias that can occur when talking to friends and family? The therapeutic setting can give you the opportunity to learn and grow. With these paradigm shifts, or new ways of approaching situations, individuals can often experience greater life satisfaction. I would enjoy the opportunity to accompany you on this journey.

We all go through various trials during our lives and most of us don't want to burden our loved ones with our stress. It helps to get clear when we express our thoughts and feelings and are deeply heard. Being offered both reflection and alternate perspectives can help us to recognize that we do have more choices towards happiness than we imagined before.

Would you like to improve the way you feel about yourself? Do you feel like you are not good enough the way you are? Do you worry about what others might think if you say or do the “wrong” thing? Are regrets of the past or fears of the future affecting the way you experience life? Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, uncertainty, or relationship concerns?

I help people who are suffering from depression to regain their strength, focus, and will to live. I help couples who have built up resentments and lost the spark in their relationship to reconnect and find joy together again. I help people who are caught in a pattern of pleasing others to move into a healthier balance in their lives. I help people who are caught in a challenging relationship to find resolution.
