Therapists Beginning With J in Hawaii

With a passion for working with people, I welcome you to Mana'o Counseling Services. As a therapist, my goal is to help you navigate through obstacles that may be making it difficult for you to be your best self. My experience includes working with adults as they are maneuvering through difficult transitional stages. As a military veteran I am especially compassionate and familiar with the unique lifestyle that comes with serving our country. Additionally, as a long time Hawaii resident I am knowledgeable of some of the challenges that can sometimes come with living in Hawaii.

My name is Angela Jackson and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Oahu, Hawaii, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults, adolescents, and veterans with special attention to anxiety, depression, trauma, and transition using an approach that is eclectic and rooted in Solution-Focused therapy to help my clients meet their needs and establish goals. I have come to adopt a counseling approach that is eclectic derived from cognitive-behavioral, narrative, person-centered, and, solution-focused therapies.

My primary training for being a psychologist was growing up in my own dysfunctional family. After many spiritual groups and a couple years in India with Ram Dass, I finally returned to school to finish my doctorate. I have trained in a number of mind/body therapies (EMDR, Brainspotting, Bioenergetics, Process Acupressure, Somatic Experiencing), since it is my experience that just talking about one’s problems do not usually allow one to make a deep shift. And yes, I do take QUEST plans (except Kaiser)

Talking about sex, relationships, and intimacy can be incredibly difficult. Throughout our lives many of us have been confronted with fear and shame-based messages, inaccurate and harmful information, and often problematic ideas regarding sexuality. These experiences can leave us feeling confused or ashamed, ultimately impacting our ability to tap into our full and authentic selves. Exploring these issues in a therapeutic setting with a trained, sex-positive therapist can be life-changing. A sex-positive framework means that I affirm all consensual sexual activity (or lack of sexual activity) as positive, healthy, and pleasurable.

Therapy offers the chance to become more present with ourselves. Together we contemplate the human journey. We can get familiar with our innate mindfulness and compassion. On my journey I've realized that well being can be learned; achieved with a level of skillfulness, a window of tolerance. Getting triggered helps us learn. I help individuals and couples study their nervous systems and their "parts" -- a complex legacy of neurobiological attachment wiring. With a manner that is warm, relatable, and active yet non-invasive, I help my clients find meaning, hope, and the freedom to become who they were meant to be.

As the founder and owner of Thomas J. Jameson Family Counseling, LLC. I am a clinician with many years of direct experience working with individuals seeking solutions. I believe deeply in the potential of every person. I lead those I work with to the key that is already within themselves, and help them unlock what they already encompass.

Oftentimes, people are uncomfortable taking the first step to speak to a stranger about personal issues. However, once coming in for therapy, many people find it comforting to have a safe place to speak freely...with a therapist who is there to listen to them and guide them through life's difficulties. I practice with a non-judgmental approach to help my clients to reach their therapeutic goals. It is important that my clients feel comfortable with me in order for them to openly discuss the deeper issues affecting their lives.

Minimize distress and overcome challenges (including trauma)--we'll work together to identify what keeps you stuck, increase your assertiveness, develop confidence, reduce guilt and identify your fears. My practice also includes conducting psychological evaluations (e.g., ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders including Asperger's Syndrome).

Hello and welcome! I am Jason, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Licensed Behavior Analyst. Let's face it, the struggle is real and we all need extra support at various points in our lives. Burying shame, guilt, hurt or any other negative energy leads to both mental and somatic symptoms. Whether struggling with a personal issue, or wanting to see growth within yourself, I offer a safe and open space to begin the journey of self-love. Let the journey begin now, we all deserve it.

I have a client-centered approach to therapy that focuses on the individual, the strengths of the individual, and their goals. I get the chance to learn about you, who you are, and what you want to accomplish. Whether you have short-term or long-term goals or just need the help to get through a unique challenge, I will provide support, focus on calming techniques, coping skills, new thinking, and foster growth by empowerment. Learning new skills and developing the necessary insight is key to opening up to endless possibilities of growth and success.

“If all is well, why do I feel this way?” Do you find yourself asking this question frequently? Knowing something is wrong but you’re not sure what it is or why it is. Maybe you are doing well in some areas of your life, but you feel like something is missing and you are not satisfied with where you are. If this is you, It sounds like you’ve come to a place that acknowledges “just because I’m functioning, does not meant I’m fine”

Aloha, my name is Aubrey and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) on O'ahu. I am so glad that you are taking this first step toward creating lokahi (balance) in your life. Developing lokahi is very important during challenging times. The road to lokahi involves different things for different people but it requires being willing to adapt and change so that you can grow. I am here to help you gain the necessary skills and confidence to deal with barriers and develop lokahi between your mental, physical, spiritual, relationship, and career health.

As a therapist, I adapt my approach to fit our treatment goals—sometimes gentle, sometimes more direct. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of its nuances enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. We have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD. When you start with NOCD Therapy, you’ll either work with me or be paired with one of my colleagues, based on your preferences and availability. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.

Childhood, adolescence, and early adult years are times of great potential. I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the complexities that inevitably arise as young people move through these foundational stages of development. I work creatively with clients to optimize growth and learning, offering solutions to challenges that arise for individuals, between family members, within peer groups and at school.

I specialize in working with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or distressed in career, life situation, or around their relationships, whether with a significant other, family, friends, or social situations. Often this involves working with challenging relationship dynamics, insecurities, sense of self, sense of purpose, or past trauma. My approach combines my experience in both psychotherapy and coaching and is direct, compassionate, and transformative. I utilize the proven research focusing on the neurobiology of attachment along with a holistic toolbox including mindfulness and somatic (body oriented) awareness.

한국어를 아주 잘함  (Fluent in Korean). One of my greatest strengths as a counselor is my ability to always hold hope for my clients as I walk alongside them in the process of their healing. I use a humanistic approach to create a safe environment built upon warmth, acceptance, and respect, free of judgment. My clients find that they are able to trust in our therapeutic relationship and appreciate my ability to be present, reflect genuine care, and truly listen.

You want to appear strong, but deep down you are crumbling. You may be fed up with your past ruining your relationships and your life. You may feel stuck in old ways and thought patterns no matter what you do, or feeling like you’re “crazy“ or somehow doing it wrong. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready to get unstuck. You’re ready to feel clear-headed and confident. You’re ready to embrace a new identity. Most of all, you’re ready to be set free from the trauma & the drama that has held you captive. You want to start experiencing that abundant life you desire!

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or a challenging relationship that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, and ability to function at work? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost? Are you finding it difficult just getting through the day, answering emails, texts, or calls, with the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder how life could be better? Now more than ever, many people are feeling anxious and overwhelmed, and we believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live better. People can change, there is hope, and there are answers.

Frustrated that life is NOT what you planned? Maybe you're scared of this change and what it means for your future. Perhaps you're keeping a secret that is keeping you from your partner? Or you have a burning need to understand why you do what you do? If this sounds familiar, I promise, you're not alone. You're not broken or bad... You are a human facing a big change (or the need for one). The truth is, everyone deserves a person that they can talk to about A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G. including you!
