Sexual Abuse Therapists in Hawaii

Under any weather conditions, where rough seas and rugged shores collide, there stands a lighthouse signaling: “This way home; this way to safety.” (Monson) Under any life conditions, when our body, heart, mind, or spirit may collide with harsh reality, there comes a guiding signal from our inner lighthouse. Without such guidance, we may find ourselves lost, alone, hurt, discouraged, and ultimately dis-empowered in any aspect of our lives. Compassionate, collaborative therapy allows us to recognize and rely on our inner guidance as one of the key turning points towards self-empowerment, support, healing, success, and happiness.

Change takes effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you make that change.

CBT teaches you how to change your thinking, with an initial focus on improving the here-and-now with smaller focus on the past. Practice is essential and CBT involves work, but that work often yields results.
