Therapists in Hawaii

You crave intimacy, yet you are constantly feeling hurt and frustrated in relationships; You seek purpose in life, yet you feel empty and numb inside most of the time; You are trying to get rid of the past, yet the trauma legacy is haunting you to the present. You understand the benefits of psychotherapy, yet you want to make sure there is enough safety and stability in the therapy space before you start. If it sounds like you, I believe I can help.

I am a trauma-informed, client-centered therapist. What that means is I desire to help you recognize and understand the impact that past experiences may have on your present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Then, we will go a step further and identify if those things are still serving you or if there are areas you’d like to change.

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. I assist those I work with to recognize their natural potential, and innate gifts to move past unhealthy patterns and heal old wounds. In the work, we focus on acquiring tools to live in our ever changing world, developing new narratives and cultivating increased awareness. I specialize in trauma related conditions both current and in childhood, as well as depression, anxiety, self-harm, parenting, couples and family conflict.

Ilana Fernandez, Psy.D., is a licensed psychologist treating individuals, couples, families in Hawaii via online sessions.

On the outside, it seems as if you have it all together. But inside, you are struggling with imposter syndrome. Your list of things to do continues to grow, but it seems as if there are never enough hours in the day. You know you should prioritize yourself and your health, but everything and everyone else’s needs seem to dominate your time, energy, and efforts. At the end of the day, you sometimes don’t recognize yourself in the mirror. Your best efforts don't seem to be enough and it’s impacting you and those you love. You want things to get better, but you don’t even know where to start.

Offering video therapy sessions. Life is a journey. Sometimes at peaks and others valleys. In times of struggle, compassionate, effective therapy can help.

Aloha! It is my desire to create a safe, warm & accepting space for all the individuals I work with. I believe that feelings of belonging & acceptance are the foundation of the growth we can achieve together. Understanding my clients' problems from a holistic perspective is important to me. As you share your unique story it is my goal to paint a more detailed picture of your problem within the context it has evolved & been maintained. My belief is that all problems make sense in the context of our unique experiences & relationships. My desire is to validate these experiences & help you work towards lasting healing.

Frustrated that life is NOT what you planned? Maybe you're scared of this change and what it means for your future. Perhaps you're keeping a secret that is keeping you from your partner? Or you have a burning need to understand why you do what you do? If this sounds familiar, I promise, you're not alone. You're not broken or bad... You are a human facing a big change (or the need for one). The truth is, everyone deserves a person that they can talk to about A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G. including you!

Under any weather conditions, where rough seas and rugged shores collide, there stands a lighthouse signaling: “This way home; this way to safety.” (Monson) Under any life conditions, when our body, heart, mind, or spirit may collide with harsh reality, there comes a guiding signal from our inner lighthouse. Without such guidance, we may find ourselves lost, alone, hurt, discouraged, and ultimately dis-empowered in any aspect of our lives. Compassionate, collaborative therapy allows us to recognize and rely on our inner guidance as one of the key turning points towards self-empowerment, support, healing, success, and happiness.

Have you been struggling with sadness, anger, or anxiety? Are there stressors in your life relating to relationships, financial struggles, or loss of a loved one which are impacting you at work, home, or school? Did you recently have a baby and struggling? Did you experience a trauma that continues to creep up in your life. Therapy can be a process for growth and healing. I provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Your personal strengths and cultural orientation will be incorporated into your treatment. Taking the first step to contact a therapist can be difficult and I commend you for your courage.

What is psychotherapy, and why would you want to receive it? For me, psychotherapy is communication. It is a means of reflecting you back to yourself in a way that is instructive, enlightening, and healing. If you are experiencing low self-esteem, depression, thoughts of suicide, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or fearfulness about the future, you could benefit from psychotherapy.

Aloha, Are you or your loved ones struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain? Do you find yourself compulsively eating, drinking, working, or seeking relationships in order to fill the inner void? Do you and your partner sometimes get caught in a negative interaction pattern that prevents you from experiencing love and intimacy? I have years of education, training, and clinical experiences to help you process painful emotions, learn new skills, and find new ways of connecting with self, others, and the world. I am licensed in Hawaii and California to see clients from both states.

My goal is to help those seeking support and guidance on their journey towards healing and personal growth. Whether you're struggling with everyday stressors, navigating challenging life events, or coping with anxiety and depression, I'm here to provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. I prioritize fostering an approachable, non-judgmental therapeutic alliance regardless of a person’s background, gender expression, or sexual identity. As your therapist, I would do my very best to ensure you feel understood and help you learn how to advocate for your needs outside of our sessions.

Whether it's your first experience with therapy or your fifth, you're feeling ready to navigate barriers and locate resources to create the life you envision. At your core you have the confidence, creativity, and compassion to make the changes you want. You also know the journey inward isn't easy, and having a traveling companion can be empowering.
