Therapists in Hawaii
I am a Hawaii licensed clinical psychologist specializing in brief treatments for individuals who have anxiety and depression in the context of difficult life circumstances. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to improve coping and reduce emotional suffering. People coming to see me can expect a deep dive into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In therapy, we will look at what your stressors are and how best you can cope and succeed given your individual circumstances. At the end of treatment, my goal is that each client has a set of skills that work for them when life throws a curveball.

You're the person who struggles with hustling for their worth. It shows in your impeccable work ethic or your perfectionistic ways or even your need to show up for others before you show up for yourself. You find yourself unable to relax, biting off more than you can chew, extremely overwhelmed, and unsure of how to slow down. It's hard to find balance in your life and not feel so guilty in the process. Does this sound familiar?

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.

Aloha, my name is Kalei Piena (Deborah) and I have been a therapist for several years with a private practice in Hilo, HI. I have a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to therapy most of the time, but I also use a bit of other therapies to meet the needs of my client such as EMDR. I typically work with clients that are adults looking to change their behavior or understand why they react the ways they do. I try to create a safe nonjudgmental environment that feels warm and comfortable so the client may find it easier to talk.

Aloha, I began my journey as a psychotherapist in 2006 and have worked in several settings in California and on Kauai including with severely mentally ill adults in residential treatment, at-risk adolescents in group homes, in a small Jungian analytical practice, and with children and families as an intensive in-home therapist. As a psychotherapist, I aid in lessening the burdens brought forth through talk therapy and working to understand the roots of issues presented. I enjoy listening with the goal of understanding each individual that comes to see me for therapy, and being an ally in life to those who are suffering.
