Therapists Beginning With V in Hawaii

Hi all! My name is Naadiya, I’m a Pre-Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My passion lies with trying to help individuals with any concerns related to anxiety, depression, career stress, life transitions, and other challenges. Starting therapy can be intimidating and finding the right therapist adds to the challenge. Understanding the intimidation, I offer a personable, safe and comfortable space that allows you to navigate these difficulties in a judgment free zone.

Our past experiences, how they affect our world views, ourselves, and others are important. We all have good and bad experiences but sometimes the bad ones can leave us with emotional scars and painful memories. For example, we might find ourselves feeling anxious, depressed, angry, violent, passive, scared, intimidated, or overly pleasing. Some may turn to alcohol, other drugs, unhealthy coping strategies or avoid people and life altogether. You're not alone. Don't be ashamed, think you're different, or think that something's wrong with you. I'm here to lend a listening ear and psychologically assist you through those challenges.

If you or your loved ones are experiencing problems that disrupt your life, I can offer unique solutions to get you back on track. I am certified in Brief-Strategic therapy, a model that can help produce sustainable change to treat problems like panic attacks, anxiety, and depression. If you have been struggling with persistent personal or relational difficulties, we can work together to uncover how these problems are operating in your life and to grow beyond them.

I'm grateful for your openness to consider engaging in therapy with me. I understand how hard it is to trust and open up to a stranger.

I'm committed to helping individuals from all walks of life with a wide range of needs or issues. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.

I invite you to come as you are; I offer a safe, welcoming space for you to share all you may be carrying. I am here to listen and support you in finding and traveling the path forward to growth and thriving.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life and relationships. We can work together to heal trauma from the past and be your best self. I provide a safe space to explore past experiences, relationships and belief systems you may feel are limiting you from experiencing your wholeness so you can live a joyful life.

I know what it’s like to deeply love someone and yet not bring your best self to the relationship. I learned how to have a healthy relationship through facing my fears of vulnerability and failure and taking responsibility for my actions in my relationship.

When there is crisis or stress, we often rely on unhelpful habits and ways of communicating that wear on our relationships. Let’s work on that love connection that you are both are wanting.
