Empowering a healthier environment, one solution at a time.
Compassion, Hope, and Healing
At Samaritan Counseling Center Hawaii, we believe that the best counseling approach involves considering the close relationship between body, mind, spirit, and community. Our mission is to provide professional and accessible behavioral health counseling that is sensitive to the spiritual traditions of individuals, families, and communities in Hawaii, regardless of their ability to pay.
Our Services
We offer a range of services to help individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. Our experienced and licensed therapists provide mental health counseling for individuals, couples, and families, both in-person on O'ahu and through telehealth. Whether you're coping with anxiety about COVID-19, stress over life's transitions, or relationship conflicts, we're here to help.
Workshops, Clergy and Congregations
In addition to individual counseling, we offer workshops and group sessions for clergy and congregations to help them support their members and provide a safe and supportive environment for those in need. We also participate in community outreach and events to provide mental health education, increase access to mental health care, and help reduce the stigma of mental illness.
Client Assistance Funds
At Samaritan Counseling Center Hawaii, we believe that no one should have to choose between mental health care and basic needs. That's why we have established client assistance funds to provide financial assistance to those who are uninsured, underinsured, elderly, or low-income and are in need of mental health services.

Therapy Experience and Reliability
The reviewer, Nick Schneider, had a 2-year therapy experience with the therapist, which was marked by some issues. The therapist would often repeat herself, forget previous sessions, and mishear what was said. As she got busier, she would even forget about scheduled sessions.
Medical Gaslighting and Lack of Relatability
The reviewer also felt that the therapist, being from an older generation, struggled to relate to younger clients like himself. Furthermore, the therapist would often medical gaslight him due to her lack of understanding of his medical conditions and their symptoms.
Unreliability and Unclear Ending
The reviewer's experience ended abruptly when the therapist failed to get back to him about a scheduled session, leaving him unsure if she had forgotten or didn't want to see him again.
A Positive Experience
On a more positive note, Leiana Helms had a 5-star experience at the same therapy center, finding it to be a safe space for people with hearing impairments to receive real counseling.
