Frequently Asked Questions about Online Therapy, Insurance, and Services
Do you offer online therapy or telehealth counseling in Hawaii, Arizona, and Washington?
Yes — I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy (telehealth counseling) to clients in Hawaii, Arizona, and Washington. Whether you’re looking for a trauma therapist in Honolulu, a culturally responsive counselor in Phoenix, or online support in Seattle, you can attend sessions from the comfort of your home.
What therapy approaches or modalities do you use for trauma and anxiety?
I specialize in evidence-based trauma therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also integrate somatic therapy and culturally responsive care for clients experiencing anxiety, PTSD, burnout, and emotional exhaustion.
Do you accept insurance for therapy sessions?
Yes — I accept insurance through Headway and Rula, including HMSA, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna. I also accept HMSA Quest (Medicaid) in Hawaii. You may also use out-of-pocket payments, HSA, or FSA accounts to cover your sessions.
Do you provide therapy for teens and adults?
Yes — I provide therapy for both adults and teens ages 13–17. I help teens manage anxiety, ADHD, trauma, identity questions, and academic stress. I also support professionals and caregivers facing burnout, emotional numbness, or high-functioning anxiety.
How often are therapy sessions scheduled?
Most clients attend therapy weekly or biweekly, depending on their goals and needs. Together, we’ll create a schedule that supports healing without becoming overwhelming. Evening and limited weekend availability may be offered.
What’s your therapy cancellation and no-show policy?
I ask for 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a therapy session. Sessions canceled with less notice or no-shows may be charged a fee. Emergencies and extenuating circumstances are always taken into consideration.
What issues do you specialize in as a therapist?
I specialize in treating trauma, complex PTSD, anxiety, grief, ADHD, burnout, and high-functioning depression. I also work with BIPOC clients, LGBTQ+ individuals, therapists, and people navigating cultural identity or family pressure.
