Therapists in Ala Moana-Kakaako, Honolulu, HI

Aloha! My name is Dr. Isaiah Moreno and I offer supportive therapy that encourages awareness, hope, and change. At the most fundamental level, people have a deep desire to be heard, understood, and known. As we build a collaborative relationship, our hope is that we can offer an encounter, where people can create a corrective emotional experience through therapy. I encourage clients to find a therapist with the right "fit," where they feel that the story of their lives can be held with the deepest care and respect.

Life happens to everyone, and it's important to receive support and tools to navigate through difficult times. I work with women and men to address life stressors, anxiety, depression, substance abuse issues, and codependent behaviors. I also work with mothers addressing postpartum related issues and family stressors.

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and Mental Health Counselor with over 18 years of experience working in the mental health field in Honolulu, Hawaii. I strive to help individuals, couples and families to make positive changes by improving their quality of life, creating and achieving their personal goals, ultimately achieving their fulfillments in life.

If you have a child with behavioral difficulties and need to decrease outbursts, if you cannot get your adolescent to listen, or don’t know what to do to support your teenager who is struggling with mood swings, I can help. Whether you are an individual or a parent who wants to improve your quality of life, a couple or a family that wants better cohesiveness, I have worked as an individual and family therapist on many of the Hawaiian islands with local families and families new to the islands on a plethora of issues.

Change takes effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you make that change. For problems like panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia, chronic worry, and depression, CBT is among the world's most proven treatments, and we often combine CBT with exposure therapy, as well, to help people move past these problems. CBT teaches you how to change your thinking, with an initial focus on improving the here-and-now with smaller focus on the past. Practice is essential and CBT involves work, but that work often yields results.

I have always been humbled by this profession and the incredible gift of being a guest in someone's journey of self-discovery. Life is filled with many obstacles that often come in some form of pain; emotional, physical, existential, etc. and if we are willing to listen and be in its presence, we will hear it speak gently but clearly of the pieces of ourselves to keep, the pieces to improve and the pieces to let go of. As Ryan Holiday so greatly states "The Obstacle is the Way." If you are looking for someone to walk alongside you as you find your way, I would be honored to meet you.

Cassandra holds a bachelors of science degree in psychology with a minor in classic civilizations from Austin Peay State University, as well as master’s of arts and education specialist degrees in counseling from Seton Hall University. Often described as approachable, reliable and warm, Cassandra became a therapist because of her family’s experience with therapy when she was a teenager. She approaches every therapeutic relationship as a road trip prior to GPS. She has the maps to get guests where they want to go, remembering that it is the guest’s choice how long they want to take.

We all have the desire to experience connection and contribution to the community beyond ourselves. Often on this journey, we experience significant challenges and stuck periods. I believe each individual has the capability to overcome these obstacles given a nurturing and supportive environment. When working with clients, I attempt to provide this environment in order for my clients to enact meaningful change in their lives.

Are you struggling with aspects of your sex life or sexuality? Are you ashamed of your sexual feelings, actions, or preferences? Do you find yourself hiding your sexual behavior from others or masturbating more than you wish? Do you identify as LGBTQIA & struggling with coming out? Do you feel discomfort with your assigned gender & need support around transitioning? Do you have unresolved painful feelings interfering with your ability to have a satisfying sexual relationship? Are you having relationship difficulties due to an affair?

Life takes us for turns we don't expect and sometimes we’re able to get through them, but in other times, we can become stuck. We may feel overwhelmed at work, in our marriage, or in other relationships. Perhaps, there are difficulties with a teenager at home or maybe there are feelings of sadness or anxiousness. When life brings us to this point, reaching out for help is a courageous first step toward change. Entering therapy can provide clarity to the confusion and is a safe place to explore alternative avenues toward an improved quality of life.

Whether you are feeling a little bit off your game or deeply stuck, by seeking help you're on the right path. I work to provide a safe, supportive, and calming space. For 30 years I worked in adoption and family coaching. I am experienced in trauma, parenting, infertility, gender/ sexuality/racial identity and relationship building. I use a variety of interventions, and work with clients to set goals to plan for successful outcomes. I am eager to learn about my clients, and to figure out how best to help. Thank you for taking this step!

I understand the complexities of gender dysphoria and how this may be affecting multiple aspects of your life. If interested, I understand and am able to assist you in socially, legally and medically transitioning genders.

Every individual in society is different so that per their perspectives, they formulate their opinion and a set of behavior. Under the theory of individual perception, the science which sounds theoretically proven and reasonable comes to play its role, resulting in various consequences. However, I believe that the perception created under the societal and scientific rules is not equivalent to neither the human mind nor the psychiatric world of the individual because human beings have unlimited imagination. I am looking for expanding the dimension of variables regarding the scientifically proven therapeutic methods

We are all human and life can be difficult, especially in the ever-changing world that we live in today. My job is to create a place of healing and love. I work with people to help guide them to help connect with themselves and with others in a more meaningful way. Each and every one of us deserve a healthy and balanced life, and it is my focus to help create that for others through purposeful therapy experiences. I believe that we are all put on this earth to help one another and it is important to me that you feel comfortable and supported the entire time through-out our journey together.
