Therapists in Kailua Kona, HI
I love to help people ask ‘the big questions’—Who am I? How can I be my best self in the world? What is my purpose? What will my legacy be? These questions arise in times of transition such as graduation from college, choosing a career, in mid-life, at retirement, or when contemplating our mortality. Some people have spent years in a religious or spiritual community whose beliefs or practices they can no longer support. Some have trauma due to these experiences and benefit from having a witness and guide as they learn to choose their own values and priorities.

I believe therapy is a gift you give yourself. Until we have the skills to identify our needs, learn to communicate those needs effectively, and give permission to nurture ourselves, we are not fully liberated to love and take care of one another. You can give yourself the gift of therapy. Allow yourself to sit, pause, feel, think, process, and simply be. I believe you have all the resources within you to navigate whatever terrain you have found yourself in life, and it would be my honor to accompany you in your journey to self-discovery.

I believe deeply in the power of healing and transformation. My experience in homeless services and search and rescue inspired me to learn how to help others heal from trauma. Over years of training and practice, I've witnessed many people restore their lives, and I love being part of this process. As a mixed Indigenous (Mohawk/Métis) and white (Swedish/Irish) male, fluent in both English and Spanish, I work alongside others in Washington state and Hawaii to foster mental and emotional healing. My priority as a therapist is to understand you—your story, and hopes. Together, we will build a path to help you thrive.

I provide a non-judgmental space for curiosity and mindfulness to grow. The journey into existence and exploring who you are can be challenging. Suffering is abundant, and so is pleasure and joy! My philosophy on psychotherapy is as follows: The space we co-create in therapy is to deepen your understanding about yourself, to raise your baseline well-being, reduce suffering, and aid in your flourishing. Let's work toward an authentic life attuned to your values while reducing anxiety. I am a student intern currently finishing a MA at UH Hilo under supervision of Dr. Christine Park, whose info can be found by clicking "my website".

To Connect with Who You Truly Are is to experience peace, joy, and true happiness. Past relational or emotional trauma that isn’t investigated may also inhibit your ability to experience peace, joy and true happiness, as well as block your knowing of innate wholeness and perfection. Uninvestigated trauma can effect your health and wellbeing, personal growth, and the ability to have healthy relationships and/or work. When you look at past trauma, you can move old energy, unwind core beliefs that are disempowering or untrue, dissolve stories, and have profound and life-altering insights about your own behavior.

Another Blue Day? Come on in! Aloha. I'm Jeanette Clarke. My office is in Ocean View, Hawai'i Island. I invite Island wide and State wide telehealth! A special welcome to VA and TRIWEST clients. I’m from England so I have an English accent. Some things we say differently but that also brings questions and smiles. We might even start with a smile! That’s a great beginning! I use everyday language and a relaxed approach to the therapy sessions. You won't feel 'less than' or judged, or confused in the time we spend together. I am always professional, ethical and work with my duty “to do no harm.” With me you can just be yourself.

I believe that each of us has the ability to achieve our highest potential despite whatever path life has taken us. We move forward despite the difficulties presented to us along the way. Sometimes along this path we are faced with circumstances that make it difficult to cope. There are times when childhood experiences, hurtful interactions with others or horrific events can interrupt our present day functioning to create stress in our day-to-day living. For these and many other reasons, we lose our way and find ourselves off-track from the path that could lead us to our highest and best selves.
