ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Honolulu, HI

Hi I'm Anuhea! Pronounced Aw-new-hey-uh. I was born and raised in Hawaii and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Masters of Social Work from Pacific University Oregon. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Utah and Hawaii. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, and Strengths-based approaches to engage with clients.

Board certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, I bring years of experience helping people manage ADHD, anxiety, and depression across all ages. My background spans a wide range of clinical settings and diverse populations, giving me the flexibility to meet you where you are. I practice telehealth-only medication management, so you can access care from the comfort of home, whatever your schedule looks like.

Aloha! As a clinician with over 18 years of experience, my passion is working with children and families. Healthy families are the core unit of our society and can break negative patterns for ourselves and future generations, and I believe that early intervention can dramatically change the trajectory of a young person’s life. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by providing the professional guidance needed to navigate behavioral challenges, identity struggles, and family transitions.

I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, knowing they have an experienced advocate committed to their success. My background as a UCLA graduate has allowed me to serve families across various life stages, from young children to adults navigating relationship hurdles. When I am not in the office, I find peace and restoration in the natural beauty of the islands, which keeps me grounded in my work.

I am a board certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with 3 years of independent practice and over a decade in the healthcare field. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, and sleep disorders.

Aloha, my name is Akoni Kanaele. I provide compassionate, culturally responsive support that is trauma informed. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I work with individuals navigating stress, relationships, life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My approach focuses on building on each client’s strengths, developing practical coping skills, and creating meaningful, positive change.

I have over 15 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families across school, residential, and community settings. I’m licensed in California and Hawaii, with training in trauma-informed care, DBT, and grief support.
