Aloha, I’m a Native Hawaiian licensed social worker on the island of Maui. Therapy may be for you if you feel like life has asked a lot of you—through trauma, loss, infertility, systemic barriers, burnout, or years spent in survival mode—and you’re tired of carrying it all on your own.
You might feel disconnected from your body, your emotions, or your sense of direction. You may be navigating anxiety, grief, overwhelm, or a quiet, persistent question of “Is this really how life is supposed to feel?” If any of this resonates, you don’t have to face it alone.

I am pleased to see you for in-person sessions and telehealth sessions are also available.
I feel that the client for me is someone who is currently working on his/her inner awareness and how this then affects his/her life externally. This can be calmly working on life issues or the anxiety that can come when faced with existential issues of mortality (their own or a loved one's), such as with terminal illnesses or the important issue of "Who am I"?

When you have stress or trauma in your life, it can feel overwhelming and life can unravel. Your children are acting out, your teen is being suspended or involved with law enforcement, or your younger child won't stop misbehaving at school. These are all stressful family situations that can feel overwhelming to anyone. My passion is to bring healing to people who have been through traumatic or stressful experiences.

I offer remote sessions via SimplePractice secure telehealth.
People come to me for many reasons. For some, they are overall doing well in their life, but feel that there's something going on inside that's keeping them from reaching their full potential and finding true happiness and fulfillment. Others are actively experiencing challenges in their life and are open to receiving support, while still others are in real pain, and are looking for relief and help with that.

Aloha, I am back in my office seeing clients on a regular basis but have also kept a strong video visit presence.
In a world of uncertainty we are faced with conflict everyday. I work with clients who need direction and focus in their day to day problems as well as looking at long term solutions to current conditions. Most of my clients are aware of the challenges they face when they begin psychotherapy but are awakened to the depth of who they are and how they participate in their own lives. The process may be daunting but I offer guidance and support every step of the way.

Hello! When life throws obstacles and challenges your way and you are experiencing more misery than peace and joy, it may be time to seek support from a mental health clinician. The issue may be current (i.e., financial, marital, career problems) or stem from the past (previous traumas and abuse). Depression, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, work stress, and life transitions are only a few of the many areas I have worked with extensively. I offer a gentle, solution-oriented approach to therapy. I use an array of interventions that would best fit your needs. See www.drcantorna.com.

Change is all around us lately. Are you simply surviving and searching for ways to thrive? Sometimes we have the tools and other times we need someone to inspire, create, motivate or teach us what it takes to thrive. I have worked on Maui, Molokai, and Lanai for the past 23 years. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families searching for ways to better themselves. I have provided support for people experiencing grief/loss, parenting challenges, trauma/crisis, children with special needs, prisoner reintegration, and couples/families searching for healing and growth.

I offer online therapy to individuals and couples anywhere in Hawaiʻi, making therapy accessible wherever you call home.
The biggest predictor of success in therapy is the therapeutic alliance; in other words, feeling safe, understood, and supported. I’m a wife, mother, daughter, sister, retiree with a long career behind me, and someone who began a second career later in life. If you feel I might relate to you and your story, I’d be honored to help.

Online Therapy Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
