Family Therapy in Aiea, HI

Life can be filled with many challenges that feel overwhelming and past experiences that can leave a lasting impact. We all carry a story. It is my goal to honor your story and experiences and to walk with you on your journey towards healing. I believe therapy starts with a strong trusting relationship between client and therapist. I work very hard to develop this relationship. It is my commitment to offer a safe environment to explore your concerns without judgement.

Oftentimes, people are uncomfortable taking the first step to speak to a stranger about personal issues. However, once coming in for therapy, many people find it comforting to have a safe place to speak freely...with a therapist who is there to listen to them and guide them through life's difficulties. I practice with a non-judgmental approach to help my clients to reach their therapeutic goals. It is important that my clients feel comfortable with me in order for them to openly discuss the deeper issues affecting their lives.

I am Terilynn Salas, a Doctor of Social Work with a clinical license from Hawaii. I have over 10 years of experience as a professional counselor and specialize in trauma recovery. My therapeutic approach primarily operates from psychodynamic therapy which is useful in exploring internal unresolved conflicts contributing to emotional and relationship challenges, as well as patterns of self-destructive behaviors that may interfere with one's life satisfaction. I've spent a lot of time helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss.

Initially, people may feel reluctant to seek out therapy to address their concerns. They may worry that it is a sign of weakness, and that they're the only ones dealing with issues. This is not true, the fact that you're seeking out therapy is a sign of strength and maturity. I am compassionate and laid back, which typically makes it easier for client's to engage in the therapeutic process. I strongly believe in establishing a collaborative relationship with my clients, so that we can discover your concerns, set goals, develop treatment plans, and empower you.

Aloha, my name is Jennifer Cornwell , MFT, CSAC, SAP. As a young girl living in a then rural Island of Hawaii, I loved to wonder, dream, explore, and question life! As you can imagine these traits sometimes put me on wild adventures but because of them I believe they have shaped my counseling style.

Like every adventure in life there are challenges and that is where a trained ear can help make a world of difference.

Changes, struggles, and just-being-stuck happens. You do not have to go it alone. A listener and a suggester of new ways of seeing or doing things might help.

I became a therapist through working with divorcing families and children of divorce. Divorce is a hard transition for children and parents. A therapist can help with the sadness, discomfort, and difference in challenging times.
