Therapists in Maili, HI
When you live on a Hawaiian island, you expect to be happy every day but of course, this is not true. Nobody is happy all the time and, in fact, one in four people in the world are affected by some type of mental health condition at least once in their lifetime. Maili and the surrounding area has several great counselors who can help you.
Maili means pebbly in Hawaiian, which is in reference to the small round stones on the shoreline of the town. Although this is a small town, the people there love it and there are beaches all over to enjoy. However, if you are not feeling up to it and would like to speak to someone about your feelings, contact one of the counselors in the Maili area today.

My name is Kristine and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) in the state of Minnesota and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Bachelor Social Worker (LBSW) and a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) in the state of Hawaii. I received my Master of Arts degree in Addiction Counseling: Advanced Practice from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies and I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. My most recent full-time counseling job was in Hawaii for 2 years as a Substance Abuse Clinical Counselor working with male and female active duty military members and their families dealing with substance use issues. Prior to this, I worked for nearly 5 years at a recovery center for adult women with co-occurring disorders (a substance use disorder and another mental health disorder). I truly enjoy working with people who are willing to put in the work to overcome life challenges so they can become their best self. I have worked with clients dealing with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, life transitions, substance use, grief/loss, self-esteem, stress management, depression, anger and emotion regulation. In all of my therapeutic relationships my goal is to help my clients feel supported, validated and empowered. I would describe my counseling style as a mixture of person-centered, cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused while also incorporating motivational interviewing, relational-cultural and trauma-informed techniques. The main tenet in person-centered therapy that I wholeheartedly believe in is that we all have the ability within ourselves for healing, personal growth and self-actualization. I prioritize building and strengthening the therapeutic alliance with each client and serve as a guide on your life journey by providing insight, empathy, support and unconditional positive regard in a non-judgmental way. I meet each client where they are at and individualize care to meet your specific needs and goals. A little about me: I am an animal lover! I have always had a dog and cat that make up my little family and are such an important part of my life. I love my family, music, crafts, nature (especially being near bodies of water), essential oils, outdoor activities, dancing and Springbok jigsaw puzzles. I look forward to working with you, getting to know you and helping you become your best self so you can meet your specific goals. I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Welcome! My name is Angela Mendiola and I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. I have been practicing in the counseling profession for the past 6 years. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Chaminade University of Honolulu with an emphasis in Mental Health. My professional training include graduate internships at Kailua High School, the Chaminade University Counseling Center and a national internship funded by North Carolina State University as a Project Youth Extension Service Intern where I served military youth impacted by deployment for one year. Three components that I find most important in a therapeutic alliance are cultural sensitivity, empathetic understanding and listening. The most profound and insightful thing that I have learned in my years as a mental health professional is that maintaining your mental health is important regardless of what stage of life you are in and it is a practice that may assist you in building meaningful social connections, healthy coping skills and to clarify life goals. I also believe that education and knowledge truly is power so I aim to provide you with self-help or informative tools such as articles supported by trusted sources that explain what you may be experiencing and how you can spark positive change in your life. I’ve worked with individuals who have faced significant grief and loss in their lives, those who struggle with establishing meaningful relationships and connections with others, and those who have had suicidal thoughts. I am also well versed, professional, in the struggles of anxiety. My therapeutic style involves helping you to clarify any goals that you would like to prioritize, brainstorming and discussing strategies and building coping skills that you can begin using immediately to make positive change in your life.

My approach to therapy is reflected by the quote “Many hands make light work”. This quote reminds us that the load we carry is lighter when shared, especially in an empathetic, supportive, and nurturing environment. I work with a diverse group of clients, ranging from adults aged 18 and older, across various demographics such as age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. My role involves helping these individuals develop effective coping skills to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other difficulties that arise throughout life. I focus on providing personalized support to address the unique struggles each client faces, assisting them in navigating the complexities of their emotional and social well-being. Over the course of my career, I’ve observed that many clients lack the crucial support they need to achieve their goals. Often, these individuals have been unintentionally or intentionally hindered by those they trusted most. I’ve also worked with clients who are the strongest supporters of their family and friends but find themselves without the support they need when facing their own struggles. As a therapist, my goal is to provide unwavering encouragement and support to those who need it most, while equipping my clients with the tools and strategies to become the best versions of themselves. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
