I commend you for taking the first step in self-discovery and healing! I invite you to share your feelings and emerge with a "Lighter Heart." I want to hear YOUR story. Does the world often overwhelm you? Do you seem to "feel" things deeply or become easily emotional? Then you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). HSPs are more prone to over-stimulation, depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I can help you to recognize the benefits and hardships of this trait, be more productive, have better relationships, and protect yourself from overwhelm.

Past trauma that is not fully processed inhibits your ability to be present and fully aware in your life. Untouched trauma can also be a block to your health and wellbeing, personal growth, and ability to have meaningful relationships and/or work. Work with Keri to identify your own unprocessed trauma and/or take a deeper look at trauma you've already identified. Transform your old trauma and the relationship you have to it. Connect With Who You Truly Are.

I work with a wide range of presenting issues as related to individuals, couples, families, businesses, and organizations. Specialty in interpersonal and systemic issues.

The path towards healing can be scary. Being vulnerable and honest with ourselves and with others can feel risky. However, this is a path that is rich and rewarding for the brave and courageous souls who are willing to embark on such a journey! It can be difficult to reach out, but if you are willing, I am happy to see how I can help. I would be honored to walk the path of healing alongside you!

Need help with a personal or professional problem? Go to the Psychologist who local doctors turn to for their own issues. Dr Ashley has been in practice in Kona for 32 years. She was trained by some of the best individual and couples' therapists. She has a caring, supportive approach and quickly gets to the heart of the problem to facilitate real change. She has helped many individuals overcome stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse, eating disorders, health concerns, divorce, step family issues, and teen problems.

As a couples relationship counselor I have training working with couples who are severely distressed and are looking to find love and connection again. I treat a wide variety of concerns; infidelity, miscommunication, financial problems, depression, anxiety, aging, growing apart, and parenting teens. Many of these issues can leave relationships feeling hopeless. However restoration, healing and a future are possible. I also have extended training working with families, and individuals. As a systems therapist I focus treatment on what is causing the problem. Wholeness in relationships and for the individual is a goal I have for all of my clients.

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.

Thoughts create feelings, feelings create behaviors, behaviors reinforce thoughts. Everyone deserves to be happy, enjoy peace of mind, nurturing relationships, and a chance to live life to its fullest. My approach to challenges that you may be experiencing in life is person-centered, trauma focused, evidenced based practices with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I believe that we all have the answers to our own problems, but may need help exploring and bringing them to light. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I can assist with gaining new insights for positive self-growth in a warm and compassionate setting . I have over seventeen years experience working with adolescents with behavioral challenges, adult severe and persistent illness, and addictions.

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.

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.

The clients I work with the best are adults who want to work on themselves and are open to personal growth and change. I encourage clients to clarify their life goals, and whether the choices they are making will get them to those goals. I specialize in working with clients who have issues in the areas of relationships, spirituality, work, gender roles, grief/loss, trauma, and sexual abuse. I use my expertise to support clients in finding their own answers to create their "personal best" life, while giving professional guidance and sharing personal wisdom to facilitate them in that success.

Most people in Hawaii have medical insurance, so you won't need to pay much money for counseling (no cost to you if you have QUEST, and an average of $10 copay for those with other insurance coverage). I, and my MSW Intern Heather Blodgett, specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families improve their quality of life by teaching new communication skills, ways to deal with stress/triggers/past trauma, and cooperative method. I have specific knowledge, skill and experience working with court-involved cases, individuals and couples with a wide variety of sexual issues, and native Hawaiian families (I speak Hawaiian).

I am here to hold your space safely, help improve your strengths, and understanding of yourself. Life is not a neat package, and I am here to help you unpack it. I have 7 years experience in mental behavioral health. I have worked with clients with wide ranging experiences including, stress from COVID, parenting concerns, anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, adjusting to life changes, and low self compassion. I have worked with experiences such as sexual, and emotional abuse, child hood trauma, and have worked with many survivors of domestic violence, and women currently experiencing domestic violence

I believe therapy is a gift you give yourself. Until we have the skills to identify our needs, learn to communicate those needs effectively, and give permission to nurture ourselves, we are not fully liberated to love and take care of one another. You can give yourself the gift of therapy. Give yourself permission to sit, pause, think, process, and just be. I believe you have all the resources within you to navigate whatever types of terrain you have found yourself in life, and it would be my honor to accompany you in your journey to self-discovery.

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.
