EMDR Therapists in Honolulu, HI

Therapy can be complex, courageous and a difficult decision, but sometimes we just know when it's time to try something different. While challenging periods in life and relationships can overwhelm, they can also facilitate desired change and deeper connection with self and others. Different kinds of traumatic experiences can cause a disconnect between what our head knows and what our body is telling us We will learn together how to reconnect your mind and body so we can access the inner wisdom and strengths that you already possess. We will grow into integrating these capacities in ways that work for you in your current life.

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.

I specialize in guiding women to step into their power to create lives of authenticity, joy, and purpose. When we have the right support to integrate experiences of trauma and embody a sense of safety and worthiness, we are better equipped to utilize discernment in our relationships and author the next chapter in our lives in alignment with our core values and desires. I would love to connect to see if I might be that support for you!

When meeting for the first time, you'll be greeted with a smile and a curiosity to understand you as a whole person. We'll talk about your experiences, strengths, thoughts, behaviors, habits, and relationships that shape you. We'll then discuss your goals for therapy and collaborate on a treatment plan to meet your needs. There is no one size fits all for therapy. It’s part science and part art. The science of therapy is using research supported interventions that have been proven to work. While the art of therapy is tailoring these interventions to you and your unique needs and strengths.
