Substance Use Therapists in Hawaii

Aloha y bienvenidos, I work with adults who are struggling to find their balance in life. The clients I work with find safety and a sense of relief in our sessions. We work together to develop a plan to restore hope for the future through gaining insight, coping skills, and confidence. I have specialized training working with pregnant and post-partum parents, grief, substance use, harm reduction, and working with the LGBT+ community. I currently have some evening and weekend availability if business hours are not an option for you at this time.

Aloha! My name is Janelle Saucedo. I was raised in Makaha, but have lived in Waimanalo for the past 22 years and I am very dedicated to supporting the unique needs that Hawaii’s residents often face. My extensive experience provides me the privilege to support adults and families dealing with challenges like Schizophrenia, Bi Polar, Depression, PTSD, Anxiety and Substance use, to name a few.

Sometimes life takes some unexpected turns. Maybe you don't know how you got to where you are or you want to head in a different direction. Whether you need to get back on track, find a track, or just need someone to listen, therapy or coaching can be a helpful tool in getting there. I work with clients to help them find their strengths and develop achievable goals. There is no shame in seeking input and guidance outside of your own brain and experience.

I believe in people. I believe in our resilience, our power, and in our capacity for change.

As a former Substance Use Disorder Counselor, I could see how clients were desperately seeking a way to cope with deep trauma. I wanted to dive deeper. I wanted to help others get to the root of their problems.
