Sometimes we get tired of trying to figure everything out on our own. It can be overwhelming when everyone thinks they know what is best for us. Do you ever wish someone would just listen? It can be so helpful to talk to someone who really listens - without judging us or telling us what to do. The best relationships are ones in which each person is an equal partner. By working together in a kind and supportive manner, constructive strategies can be identified.
Aloha! My name is Leah and I provide counseling to adults, adolescents, and children. Sessions can be held individually, as a couple, or with the whole family. Thanks to the current times I am able to see clients from all over the State of Hawaii virtually via Zoom. When it is safe to meet in person again I will be seeing clients in Hilo and Waimea.
If you are feeling stuck and not sure what step to take next, please call me and we can figure it out together. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
