Therapists in Lahaina, HI

Hello, my name is Michael Yadao-Evans, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from the state of Hawaii. My approach to therapy is very collaborative because I think change is a process we all go through together. I have worked mostly with children from infants to high school, neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Autism), and various substance abuse disorders.

Hello, I am Paul Grabowsky, a licensed mental health counselor, at LMHC and a licensed teacher in Hawai’i, and a licensed professional clinical counselor in New Mexico. I am a person-centered counselor, trained in a variety of modalities, including EMDR. I enjoy working with people of all ages and incorporate my training in biology and the connection to mind/body in my approach to therapy. As a former educator, I have worked with adolescents age for many years. I like to incorporate a person-centered approach and cognitive/behavioral therapy with an emphasis on how the vagal system can impact the health of the body and mind.

Aloha! I specialize in the treatment of substance abuse and addictions of all kinds, mental health issues, including anxiety, depression and life transitions, and trauma treatment with somatic healing and Attachment Focused EMDR. If you are struggling with a substance abuse issue and are looking to work with a counselor one-on-one who deeply understands the struggles of addiction and the triumphs of recovery, we may be a good fit. I have been in long term recovery myself for many years and my combined training in psychotherapy and my personal experience place me in a unique position to be of service.

Aloha, my name is LaVon, and I want to first say great job on taking the first and necessary step to address your challenges. Therapy can provide you with the space you need to safely and openly explore your experiences of trauma, conflict, and loss. Addressing these experiences in therapy without the stigmas and fear of judgment can be useful in alleviating stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. The relationship that ensues between the client and therapist along with the client's strengths, insight, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, facilitates growth toward goal achievement.

I proudly identify as an LGBTQ therapist who believes in a therapeutic relationship that is stepped in active-listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. In turn, this allows for clients to feel safe and secure when we engage in a therapeutic relationship. Therapy is about being yourself without the judgment of the world; and it is a discovery process that gives you the opportunity to visualize possibilities in life. My attention is drawn to connecting with clients, being collaborative and interactive, and learning how to help clients become unstuck in life.

I’m Michael Milcetich-Tano a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I rely on a client-centered approach to treatment acknowledging your expertise on your life. I welcome individuals, couples, and or families of all cultures regardless of circumstances. Struggling with today’s challenges? Together, we can help restore balance. This provider resides in Hawaii. My clients historically have been varied. I have worked with adolescents, individual adults, couples, families with young children, families with teenagers of various cultures. I prefer to help without restrictions of race, culture, or orientation. ALL people are welcome.

Life consists of many challenges that can be difficult to handle on our own. At these times, it is helpful to know that we have an individual with us who provides non-judgmental support and guidance. I view the psychologist-client relationship as being collaborative, with both individuals working together to help understand the patient and the patients’ difficulties more clearly. It is my job to create a safe, comfortable environment where we can work together to help you better understand yourself and your difficulties more clearly, as well as develop a meaningful, helpful approach to resolve your concerns.

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults and adolescents explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

I work with individuals, and relationships and people that struggle to effectively communicate their needs. Because of how they were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love on a much deeper and more meaningful and satisfying level.

Hi! I'm Ben, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I know life doesn't always go as planned, and let's face it, it can be hard. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental place for you to explore ways to cope, adapt to change, challenge yourself, and work through emotional, career, and personal difficulties. My hope is for each client to gain a sense of empowerment, learn their abilities and work together to create a unique, individual plan for their personal success. I am comfortable working with all walks of life.

I focus on helping a client work on personal issues as well as primary relationships. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, and addictions. Counseling is a partnership. You're the expert in running your life and I have the training and experience in partnering with others. I specialize in helping to improve your relationships with other people. I am licensed in Hawaii and I hold a Masters with a specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy. Recently hosted the TV Show "Shrink Rap Hawaii. You can find my shows on YouTube.

Therapy offers the chance to become more present with ourselves. Together we contemplate the human journey. We can get familiar with our innate mindfulness and compassion. On my journey I've realized that well being can be learned; achieved with a level of skillfulness, a window of tolerance. Getting triggered helps us learn. I help individuals and couples study their nervous systems and their "parts" -- a complex legacy of neurobiological attachment wiring. With a manner that is warm, relatable, and active yet non-invasive, I help my clients find meaning, hope, and the freedom to become who they were meant to be.

Liberation Psychotherapy is a private LGBTQ-centered group therapy practice. Our foundational philosophy is based on the meaningful engagement between the therapist and client and achieved using Carl Rogers’ client-centered techniques of active-listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. Liberation Psychotherapy’s primary mission is to help clients explore their experiences thereby clients can heal and grow and embrace their strengths and resiliencies. To honor and respect the uniqueness of our clients, we subscribe broadly to a liberation and integrative model.

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.

I can help you learn how to change yourself and achieve greater happiness and peace of mind, regardless of whether you are suffering with a clinical disorder, or are simply having personal, professional, or relationship difficulties. Therapy starts with a relationship built on trust. But success in therapy takes more than trust, it takes learning the skills of clear thinking and good relationships. By practicing these skills with someone you trust while you talk about your concerns, you can learn how to increase your happiness and decrease your suffering.

Hi, my name is Chris Chur. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I'm glad you're taking the step to grow through therapy. The counseling approaches I am familiar with are cognitive-behavioral, humanistic person-centered, psychodynamic, attachment theory, psychoeducation, existential, reality choice, motivational interviewing, Christian Biblical approaches, spiritual formation, marriage and family, and integrative/eclectic approaches to therapy. I would like to promote unconditional positive regard, empathy, and internal locus of control to help you discover a happier, healthier, and more confident version of yourself!

Currently accepting new clients for individual therapy. Aloha! I'm here to help with the stresses of island-living and military life on individuals, relationships and careers. If you feel overwhelmed, I offer brief, practical, solution-based therapies to better cope. Many people are angry; with themselves, their partner or family. Anger can stem from trauma of infidelity, combat, sexual assault or feeling powerless to change. Getting past anger and healing can transform our lives forever. My goal is to help clients heal, live, laugh and love again by tailoring therapy to your unique needs and strengths.
