Aloha! My name is Britney Kunihiro, and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Hawai‘i with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from UH Hilo. I’m passionate about supporting mental health and well-being across all stages of life. Born and raised in Hilo, I understand the unique strengths and challenges in our local communities. With 10 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and families in crisis, my approach is client-centered, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s goals.
I offer a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and supported as they navigate past experiences, current stress, or life transitions. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and family or peer challenges.
My clinical approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and person-centered care. Through our work together, my hope is that you feel empowered, gain clarity, and reconnect with your inner resilience on your path toward healing and self-discovery.
