Psychiatrists Beginning With H in Hawaii

Dr. Garrett Halweg began a quest for improving brain health at the completion of his residency from University of Hawaii, Queens Medical Center in 2003. He headed up a private practice in Southern California working on common disorders like depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Dr. Halweg survived multi-system organ failure because of a Leptospirosis infection from a local waterfall in November 2013, which prompted a renewed interest in optimizing physical health and mental awareness. This experience taught him lessons that shaped his life and now wants to share his story with others.

You should be proud that you are taking steps to healing your mental health! I know this can be a difficult decision, but I’m glad you are here. My goal is to empower you with various methods to manage your mental health. These tools may include medication, therapy and lifestyle changes. I use research and evidence-based practices to assist in choosing the best regimen. As your provider, I will actively listen to your concerns without any judgment and work on a holistic treatment plan with you.

Accepting new patients and offering in-person sessions or remote telehealth sessions which are conveniently accessible from your phone or computer. Wherever you are, help is just a call away. Imagine waking up not feeling controlled by your thoughts. What if you weren't caught in the constant tug-of-war with depression, anxiety, the echoes of past traumas, or the relentless whirl of ADHD? So many people carry the weight of these struggles silently, wondering if there's a way to feel balanced, understood, and genuinely happy. If reading this feels like I'm describing your daily battle, know that you're not alone, and there is hope.

I have particular interest in working with individuals whose mental health has been impacted by marginalization, discrimination, racism, historical and cultural trauma, and other forms of oppression. Encountering the mental health care system has been and continues to be difficult and traumatic for many, and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to work with those who are willing to engage with me.
