Programs
Individual therapy, on your schedule.
One-to-one work with a licensed Hawaii clinician, weekly or every other week, by video. For people who need consistent support without a full intensive schedule, and for people stepping down after finishing the program.
Who individual therapy is for.
Not everything needs twelve hours a week. This is the steady version — the same clinical approaches at a cadence you can hold indefinitely.
- You want consistent support and a weekly hour is the right dose
- You have finished the intensive program and are stepping down
- You are working something specific and want it worked properly rather than urgently
- You tried an app that rotated therapists and want one person who remembers
What it involves
How the hour is spent.
Evidence-based, and named
Cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy skills, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. You are entitled to know what approach your clinician is using and why, and to ask.
Scheduling that survives real life
Evening and early-morning slots, and continuity if you travel to a different time zone. On all of the islands with one clinical team, the calendar bends before the care does.
The same clinician, on purpose
Continuity is the mechanism. A clinician who has held your history for eight months notices things in month nine that no first session can reach.
Stepping down without starting over.
For people finishing the intensive program, this is where week thirteen usually lands. Wherever possible you keep the clinician you already have, so the relationship you spent twelve weeks building keeps doing work instead of being handed to a stranger with a summary.
It also runs the other direction. If a weekly hour turns out not to be holding, stepping up to the intensive program does not mean a new intake with a new team — the assessment is a conversation with people who already know your history.
Questions
Straight answers.
Can I do individual therapy without joining the intensive program?
Yes. Individual therapy stands on its own, and plenty of people never need a higher level of care. The assessment tells you honestly which one fits — and if a weekly hour is enough, that is what we will say.
How often would we meet?
Weekly or every other week, decided with your clinician based on what you are working and what is sustainable for you. Weekly is the usual starting cadence; stepping to biweekly later is common and is a clinical decision rather than a budget one.
Do you take people who have never been in therapy before?
Constantly, and it is worth saying that the first session is mostly you telling someone what has been going on. There is nothing to prepare and no vocabulary you need to arrive with.
One hour a week, with the same person.
Tell us what is going on and we will tell you whether this is the right dose of care for it.
