If you need help overcoming mental health challenges, therapy can be a step toward reaching your goals. However, barriers to treatment, like a lack of available counselors or transportation challenges, can make finding in-person care challenging. With an online platform like BetterHelp, you can get one-on-one mental health care from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you.

Whether you need a trauma-informed approach to recover from domestic violence or want to learn stress management techniques to prevent burnout, an online therapist will work with you to determine what therapeutic approach meets your unique needs. Note that while BetterHelp therapists are skilled in a wide range of mental health care modalities, the platform does not offer play therapy or other therapy services to children and adolescents at this time.

If you need help with relationship building or getting over your fear of flying for a future trip to San Diego, a licensed therapist can help. When looking for an online therapist, HI has various options. Whether you are a firm believer in the therapeutic process or have never worked with a mental health professional, connect with one of the licensed providers below offering telehealth services in the Aloha State to learn more.

What ails you? I believe many of our issues stem from a lack of understanding and acceptance. I would like to be able to provide a space in which you can explore and reflect on the experiences that have brought you to seek help. I take a non directive, collaborative approach incorporating person centered, existential, interpersonal, and harm reduction philosophies. “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” - Alan Watts

Aloha! I have been practicing mental health counseling for 9 years. My experience has been vast, including working with forensic, adult & youth, and crisis clients. Much of my current counseling specialties are with depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, LGBTQ+ issues, and anxiety. I am passionate about working with queer individuals and provide gender affirming care. I take a client-centered/humanistic approach to counseling, understanding the bravery it takes to reach out for help. I am passionate about creating a safe place for you to share and be heard every session. I also value your feedback, so that I may consistently improve the quality of services I am providing you. I am also a current doctoral candidate, working on my PsyD. I am recently certified in EMDR, and am offering this to clients as well via video. My goal is to be nonjudgmental, empathetic, and helpful to you during this stage in your life. I consider our work to be a partnership and would love to join you on this journey. Sessions are light hearted and informal. Come as you are! Currently I am only taking text clients. My availability is during the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with evening hours on Mondays, HST. I check regular messages at least twice each day. Please understand that there are times where I have personal matters to attend to, which may mean you don't get an instant response. I understand that trusting a provider is of utmost importance, and I would be honored if you enlisted my help during this difficult time in your life. Clients occasionally have difficulty finding a therapist who is a good fit for themselves, or have had a prior negative experience in therapy. I completely understand these experiences and aim to provide each client with a positive experience.

Starting therapy can take courage, and I’m here to support you through every phase of your journey. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor in Hawaii with over 10 years of post-LCSW and 14 years of post-MSW experience. My background includes working as a mental health therapist, case manager, and mental health crisis clinician in two Level 1 trauma hospitals, as well as managing clinical programs. I’ve also provided continuing education seminars for physicians and social workers on topics such as suicide prevention and safety planning, diversity/equity/inclusion/social justice (DEIJ), and adult guardianship. I have advanced training in working with self-harm, suicide, involuntary treatment, psychosis, personality disorders, HIV, substance use, LGBTQ+ issues, trauma, grief, and homelessness. I am comfortable working with clients who actively use drugs, engage in self-harm behaviors, or have recently attempted suicide. Currently, I’m in training to become a certified sex therapist with a focus on issues related to BDSM/kink, chem sex, and non-traditional relationship structures. My therapy style is collaborative, conversational, and patient-centered. I bring a touch of humor to the process and integrate approaches from harm reduction, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and ego psychology. I believe much of our pain and stress stems from being misunderstood within oppressive systems. My goal is to help you understand your values, strengths, and boundaries as you heal and build community, living authentically and free from the constraints and expectations of others.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some commonly asked questions can be found below.

How much does a therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

How do I know if I should get a therapist?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Hawaii can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover therapy?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Is online therapy safe?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
