About Ohana Wellness Maui

 Depression is more than sadness—it’s a complex mental health condition that can affect how you think, feel, and function in daily life. It may show up as persistent low mood, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, or feelings of hopelessness.  At its core, depression is deeply human. It can stem from biological, psychological, and relational factors, and it often thrives in silence. That’s why we believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experience and begin to heal. With evidence-based therapies and compassionate support, recovery is not only possible—it’s within reach. 

Teen Depression

 Teen depression is a serious and often misunderstood condition that affects how young people feel, think, and relate to the world around them. It can show up as persistent sadness, irritability, withdrawal from friends or activities, changes in sleep or appetite, or a drop in academic performance. For many teens, depression also brings feelings of isolation, shame, or confusion—especially when they don’t have the words to express what they’re going through. 

At our practice, we specialize in supporting adolescents with warmth, empathy, and clinical expertise. We offer evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR to help teens process emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves and others. Our therapists create a safe, confidential space where teens feel heard, respected, and empowered to heal.

Depression doesn’t define your teen—and with the right support, recovery is not only possible, it’s transformative.

 Anxiety often thrives in isolation—but counseling helps break that cycle by exploring not just internal thoughts, but the relational patterns that fuel worry, avoidance, and self-doubt. From a relational perspective, therapy examines how past and present relationships shape your sense of safety, identity, and emotional regulation. By strengthening your ability to connect, set boundaries, and communicate needs, counseling empowers you to manage anxiety not just within yourself, but in the context of the relationships that matter most. 

 Counseling is a cornerstone of effective addiction treatment, helping individuals understand the roots of their substance use and develop healthier coping strategies. Evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and group counseling have been shown to reduce relapse risk, improve emotional regulation, and support long-term recovery. Whether addressing alcohol, drugs, gambling, or behavioral addictions, therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to rebuild self-worth, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change. At the moment, we do not offer group counseling services, however can offer referrals for the addiction treatment programs available on both islands. 

 Counseling is one of the most effective treatments for trauma, helping individuals process painful experiences and reclaim a sense of safety and control. Evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and EMDR have been shown to significantly reduce symptoms of PTSD and emotional distress, often with longer-lasting benefits than medication alone. Through a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients learn to reframe traumatic memories, regulate emotions, and rebuild trust in themselves and others. 

 Living with ADHD—whether as an adult or as a parent of a child with ADHD—can feel like managing a constant whirlwind of distraction, emotion, and overwhelm. Counseling offers a structured space to build practical tools for focus, emotional regulation, and communication, while also addressing the deeper frustrations and self-doubt that often accompany the diagnosis. For parents, therapy provides guidance in behavior management, advocacy, and self-care, helping families move from chaos to connection. Whether you're seeking clarity, coping strategies, or a more compassionate way forward, counseling meets you where you are and helps you grow from there. 

 Co-parenting counseling helps separated or divorced parents navigate the complexities of raising children together. Through guided sessions, parents learn to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and create consistent parenting strategies that prioritize the child’s emotional well-being. Whether you're working through tension, differing values, or logistical challenges, counseling offers a neutral space to foster cooperation, reduce stress, and build a healthier family dynamic—no matter the household structure.
