Our team is made up of Filipino therapists, who understand the unique challenges of our people in Hawaii. Our goal is to make therapy comfortable and familiar for you so that you can receive the best level of care and support towards your well-being.

We are providing these services because we know mental health services can be very unaligned with what we know or are familiar with. Because our therapists are Filipino themselves, they understand your point of view and the unique values and morals that you hold as a Filipino/immigrant.

Our belief is the best healing is done in community - a main theme in our Filipino culture and traditions. While therapy is meant to be an individual experience, the support towards well-being is one that will be crafted with others to provide you the assistance you need.

We understand that difficult topics of discussion may best be expressed in the language we are most familiar and comfortable with. We will work with you to find the best options for your sessions to assure that you and your therapist can communicate comfortably and effectively.

Our goal is not only your mental health well-being, but your entire well-being. You will be connected to other programs and resources that can help you find the best path towards resiliency simply through talking with your therapist,

Services under the Lahaina Filipino Mental Health Initiative are free. You are allowed 10 free sessions with one of our providers. Kaibigan ng Lahaina will never charge you for the services; and we will help you to find additional support if you request or need them.
