Sexual Abuse Therapists in Hawaii

I enjoy working with adult women experiencing challenges with recovery from Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault/Abuse/Trauma, life transitions and pet loss. Asian-American, Latina and Pacific Islanders are clients who have found a positive connection with me. I am a lifelong pet owner. Clients who prefer a trauma-informed approach, with feminist, eclectic, EMDR, person-centered influences would likely find working with me to be a good fit. I do deeper work, not surface fixes. I am currently accepting telehealth clients in Hawai’i or California. I offer a limited number of sliding scale appointments and am available for new clients.

I have particular compassion and knowledge for those with transgender and sexual orientation issues and with survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault. I am familiar with the social stigma and trauma that can result from being a person with these issues and have helped many overcome the resulting emotional and psychological distress.

Aspire Psychological Services offers online video or phone sessions with clients via Simple Practice, Zoom or other Telehealth services in a professional, clinical approach to provide therapeutic services for individuals, couples and families. We are experienced in working with culturally diverse populations from various ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. We assist individuals who need to complete and fulfill legal requirements of psychological therapy. Certified in CBT, treatment of trauma and sexual abuse (victims and offenders) Aspire provides a safe and nonjudgmental environment for individuals to openly process life issues.

Life can be full of challenges and unexpected events. I can help assist you in processing the things you can't control, while simultaneously taking charge of the things you can control. Whether you are suffering from PTSD, sexual abuse, death of a loved one, divorce, chronic illness, cancer, work issues, addiction, depression, or anxiety, you do not need to navigate those challenges alone. Every day life (and a pandemic!) can also be reason enough to want additional support. Together, we can explore and identify the patterns in your life that are no longer helpful so you can become your best self!

Women have a complex and multi-layered relationship to their bodies - layers of shaming and conditioning around our body image, self-worth, sexuality, pleasure, menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, ageing, motherhood, and so much more. Women also carry immense pain within their wombs related to infertility, pregnancy loss through miscarriage and abortion, sexual violation and assault, medical procedures, and through internalized misogyny- all of which have a great impact on our body, minds, and souls. Feeling safe, vital, and connected to both yourself and others is your birthright. Deeply loving your body and womanhood is possible.

I think therapy is a process, a journey. It's important to have a comfortable traveling companion, one who listens carefully without judgment and with whom you feel safe and nurtured as you explore those issues that are keeping you from being your whole, authentic, and joyful self. I work with individuals, couples and families who are seeking growth and connection in both their inner lives and in relationships. I have extensive experience treating sexual abuse, loss, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Dr. Ralston provides treatment for adult women who, as children or as adults, have experienced domestic violence, physical or sexual assault (abuse, rape, molestation), sexual harassment, motor vehicle accidents, or other serious and threatening events. Experiencing these events sometimes leads to trauma-related problems such as increased fear, avoidance, irritability, guilt, shame, low self-esteem, and changes in how one views herself, others and the world. Dr. Ralston regularly treats all of these symptoms.

The healing process is one that is infinite and the beauty of that rests in the fact that there are an abundance of healing methods and forms of healing. Sourcing the appropriate path is contingent upon our present state and what we need in that particular life moment. I believe that a holistic approach to psychological, emotional, and behavioral issues is the most effective way to reaching the source of our distress. Throughout treatment an individual or family is provided with various coping tools and skills to manage symptoms.

I believe the goal of therapy is "To Be True to Yourself". Knowing yourself more fully is a key step. I provide a safe, accepting setting where you can set goals, get information and skills to work towards those goals, and lovingly confront yourself as you identify and overcome barriers. The therapist/client relationship is special. Finding a therapist is similar to selecting shoes. Beyond the shoe's quality, it needs to fit your unique feet. Please call me, to discuss your wants and needs in therapy, and discover if it feels like a good fit.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, sexual assault, body image, grief, bullying, trauma, or domestic abuse, you might need a safe space to share, to cry, to laugh, to heal, and to learn healthy strategies for coping with life’s challenges. I use a variety of cognitive-behavioral techniques, as well as humility, non-judgment, compassion, humor, and neuro-education as therapeutic tools for helping teens and adults to build a greater sense of self-awareness, trust, acceptance, confidence, and well-being in living their best life.

Aloha, I am a Couples and Family Therapist. My approach emphasizes the importance of working with a couple and family as a system that influence one another. To restructure healthy relationships, I use therapies that promote positive interactions between individuals. My methods include trans-generational, structural family therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and Gottman Therapy. I use exercises such as enactments to help clients set new appropriate boundaries, build love maps to improve interactions and establish loving communication.

My approach to therapy with adults is based upon the belief that everyone has the power to heal oneself. My role is to serve as a guide, a facilitator or a conduit depending on the needs of my clients. The longer I practice, the more I realize that the key to "treat" human conditions is through light, love and compassion. I have a lot of success working with people who suffer from trauma (e.g., sexual abuse), anxiety, severe depression and life changing events (e.g., severe illness, loss of a love one). Therapy process includes inner child work, shadow work and energy healing.

Are you feeling lonely, depressed, anxious, angry or just dissatisfied with your relationships, your work, or your life? We all are conditioned by our experiences and impacted by genetics, but with awareness and compassion you can begin to make choices that are more fulfilling, satisfying and meaningful. The more we are able to meet the full range of our emotions and all aspects of our internal dialogue, the more freedom we have to be our genuine selves.

Are you a caregiver looking for a therapist for your young child between the ages of 3-8 years old who has experienced trauma (e.g., medical-related trauma, injury, sexual abuse, auto accident, near death experience, etc.) or the death of a loved one? Or is your child experiencing a change in their life, and you’re noticing they are not acting quite like themselves? I am here to help my young child clients heal from their experiences- working together with their families towards reducing uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and moving forward to feeling better about themselves and their future.

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.

Sometimes we experience changes or events that disrupt our lives and ignite a series of overwhelming emotions. During these times, it is important to seek support to help guide you through this process. If you are experiencing anxiety, anger, stress, sadness or a sense of hopelessness, then I support your efforts in reaching out. If you have experienced a traumatic event or are currently in an abusive relationship and are looking to make a change, then I also encourage you to begin the process of initiating a “one to one” meeting with me. I am committed to providing the support you may need to encourage healing and change.
