Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Honolulu, HI

My name is Christine Keanu and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my Master of Social Work Degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I have a professional background working with children, families, and individuals involved in a wide range of social service systems. My work has included supporting clients through complex life experiences, stressors, and transitions, often in settings where safety, trust and consistency are especially important.

I offer counseling that empowers you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and strength. You can access professional support wherever you are, without the need to travel or disrupt your busy schedule.

My approach to psychotherapy is always client centered with an emphasis on the clients focus and areas they wish to address. I have worked in counseling and psychotherapy for 38 years in hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms and private practice and have created, developed and been clinical director for many Intensive Outpatient Programs for Mental Health & Dual Diagnosis.

Getting people past anxiety disorders is a passion of mine andI specialize in anxiety and sports performance anxiety and all forms of addictions. I work with teenagers and young adults dealing with academic, sports and achievement areas.

I work with parents and adults on healthy launching and individuation of their children. With the ever emerging world of technology and media I work with individuals on Video Gaming Addiction, Internet Addiction and Pornography Addiction and poor regulation of screen time which leads to depressed mood, anxiety and poor productivity especially in younger people.

I currently accept individual adult clients only through Headway. I do not provide couples or family therapy through this platform at this time.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and LGBTQ+ clients seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional healing, and more connected relationships. My approach is warm, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through safety, honesty, and meaningful connection.

I specialize in relationship therapy, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, attachment wounds, complex trauma, and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I also support clients navigating life transitions, grief, shame, self-worth, communication challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves and others.

My work draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, humanistic and existential therapy, and trauma-informed care. I help clients slow down, listen inward, understand their patterns, and develop more compassionate and empowered ways of relating.

As a queer-affirming therapist, I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients and relationships. I strive to create a space where clients can bring their full selves—without judgment—and explore healing in a way that honors their identities, histories, relationships, spirituality, and lived experience.

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.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and finding the right therapist matters. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.
