Aloha, are you needing support and looking for freedom from internal strain, anxiety, worry, depression, trauma and relationship issues? In today's culture with fewer connections to communities and cultures, it gives much less support to you and it's important to reach out. It’s time to explore and develop the richness and capacities within you for improved understanding, awareness and self-direction through body, mind, emotion & spirit practices and tools.

Are you experiencing stress or uncertainty. Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck? Change is a critical part of life, but sometimes we need support to navigate that change. By working together to foster better understanding of the issues at hand and create forward movement, balance can be restored and potential realized. Good mental health is more than the absence of symptoms, it is a robust sense of mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. If you would like to reach a state of positive mental health or work through some issues that are throwing you off your game, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!

I commend you for taking the first step in self-discovery and healing! I invite you to share your feelings and emerge with a "Lighter Heart." I want to hear YOUR story. Does the world often overwhelm you? Do you seem to "feel" things deeply or become easily emotional? Then you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). HSPs are more prone to over-stimulation, depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I can help you to recognize the benefits and hardships of this trait, be more productive, have better relationships, and protect yourself from overwhelm.

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. If you don’t acknowledge the past that’s stored in your body, mind and energy-body, it could lead to disease, distress and a continuation of your post-traumatic experiences that hinder your quality of life. Use sessions with Keri to identify your own unprocessed trauma, look deeper into your self, and/or into the trauma you've already identified.

I have particular compassion and knowledge for those with transgender and sexual orientation issues and with survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault. I am familiar with the social stigma and trauma that can result from being a person with these issues and have helped many overcome the resulting emotional and psychological distress.

You have the ability to reclaim inner peace, and within you are innate qualities that foster healing and personal growth. My role is to help you recognize and strengthen these qualities. I think of therapy as an opportunity for self-exploration. I provide a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can explore all parts of yourself, learn, and get unstuck. Let's cultivate curiosity about yourself and your experiences to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for who you are so that you can show up for yourself and others in the way you desire.

Greetings! Chances are, if you're reading this, you are stuck in some form of suffering from which you cannot find a way out. The fact that you've made it here means that you have already taken the bravest, hardest steps on the journey toward change; recognizing that you need help, and finding the willingness to ask for it. I firmly believe that the answers you need are already within you; in my role as therapist, I act as a mirror through which you are able to connect to your own strengths, heal, and create a life worth living.

Andrea Nila Negron, MSW, LSW, received her Master’s degree from New Mexico State University. With a background in trauma-informed yoga and bodywork, she brings a psycho-spiritual approach to healing and wellness. She specializes in collaborating with individuals with attachment and developmental trauma using the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), which integrates a cognitive and somatic approach to address the root causes of current life challenges. Nila also has experience supporting individuals in 12-step recovery work.

My favorite modalities of therapy are Somatic Experiencing and NARM, whole body modalities that involve greater focus on physical sensation, emotion, the felt sense, and incomplete motor programs. Both have grounding in modern neuropsychology. I have found that these techniques enhance a person's journey to integration. I have a background in Jungian work and also have a MA in Folklore and Mythology. I enjoy working with clients who have an interest in somatics, story, and healing from anxiety and trauma. I have done a great deal of men's work and enjoy helping men recover from depression and difficult relationships.

Aloha and thank you for taking this step towards self exploration and healing. I have worked as a mental health professional in East Hawaii for thirty years.

Women have a complex and multi-layered relationship to their bodies - layers of shaming and conditioning around our body image, self-worth, sexuality, pleasure, menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, ageing, motherhood, and so much more. Women also carry immense pain within their wombs related to infertility, pregnancy loss through miscarriage and abortion, sexual violation and assault, medical procedures, and through internalized misogyny- all of which have a great impact on our body, minds, and souls. Feeling safe, vital, and connected to both yourself and others is your birthright. Deeply loving your body and womanhood is possible.

I love to support clients in being able to explore their challenges, cultivate resilience, and create meaningful change in their life. Whether it's finding coping strategies, processing past experiences, or discovering their inner strength, my goal is to empower individuals to live their most fulfilling lives. Drawing from my background in community mental health and specialized training in trauma-informed care, I offer a safe and compassionate space for healing and growth. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and goals.

I am motivated to help people gain insight, find resolution, and discover a way to move forward by the end of session. It you choose to participate in long term therapy we can work at a deeper level by having a closer look at your difficult experiences, reprocess and integrate, and discover new ways to relate to the world and find ease and stability, In our sessions we will emphasize building self knowledge at a pace that is right for you, and discovering and updating your ways of coping. For some this process is concentrated in a small area of change, and for some achieving well being means looking at and adjusting multiple areas.

Meriah is a person-centered counselor who believes in the power of listening.

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.

Is your past trauma, anxiety, or addictions significantly interfering with the way you would like to live your life? Have you lost satisfaction in activities that you once enjoyed? Are you grieving a loss or struggling with relationships? Are you a military veteran navigating the symptoms of PTSD or an individual who simply needs a safe space? It is easy to get lost in the stresses of life and current events. You are not alone in your journey for healing.

Is your mind often focused on difficult experiences from the past, to the point that you can no longer enjoy the present? People respond to trauma in various ways. You might find yourself distracted, hypervigilant, or discouraged. You might struggle with your work, relationships, or simply moving through your daily life. I know this can be overwhelming and discouraging. Fortunately, there are treatments that help. My clients and I function as a team, determined to get at the cause of symptoms and work on real healing work. Even if it feels impossible right now, you can get better and live a fuller, more meaningful life.
