Aloha. I'm Alan R. Spector, LCSW, a psychotherapist in Hawaii dedicated to supporting adults navigating a range of life's challenges. Whether you're exploring general mental health concerns, issues related to your LGBT identity, coping with illness or disability, or facing other difficulties, I provide a safe and affirming space for healing and growth. I'm available to see clients located throughout the entire Hawaiian Islands via video telehealth sessions.
Our collaborative work integrates various therapeutic techniques, psycho-education, and skills training tailored to your needs. Trained in models such as DBT, CBT, ecological systems, and others, I offer a validating environment with ongoing feedback and together we can create solutions.
As Co-Founder and Co-Chair of Equality Hawaii, the state's former LGBT advocacy organization, I am well-versed in the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. I've received awards for my work with the LGBT community from both the National Association of Social Workers Hawaii Chapter (2012) and Mental Health America of Hawaii (2019).
