I provide services throughout the state of Hawai’i, all islands are welcomed! I know finding a therapist can be a daunting task. I hope this profile will help you take the first step in prioritizing your emotional wellbeing to live a more meaningful life. The most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between you and I. My approach to therapy is focused on the unique needs of the individual and/or the family from a person-centered/ humanistic lens. My therapeutic foundation is centered on my cultural background, and built upon the platform of Lōkahi.
Aloha, my name is Celeste Leonani Sagarang. I am passionate about helping those who have been through abuse, trauma and loss.

Hi. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. These are challenging times and I would love to be of support in helping you cope with anxiety, stress management, and life transitions. Building a trusting and supportive relationship is a primary component of my therapeutic practice and can be done using Tele Health video sessions from home. When making life decisions regarding how to best move forward, it can be extremely helpful to get an impartial, outside perspective.

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

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.
Client-focused, not one-size fits all. It's all about relationships. I'm here to listen and perhaps gently guide. I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and Gottman technique with couples.
Clinically trained while integrating spirit, intuition and the work of visionaries at the growing edge of wisdom. I offer lovingly honest support to individuals and couples motivated to create change in their lives.

Dr. Joe McSpillman
Many people move through life feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to care for
themselves while caring for everyone else. You might be wondering why life doesn’t feel better
or why you keep putting your own needs last. These experiences are more common than most
people realize, and they can take a real toll on your mind and body.
As someone with lived experience, I understand how challenging it can be to navigate
relationships, identity, stress, and the expectations placed on us. My approach to therapy is
integrative and person‐centered, grounded in your needs, preferences, and cultural worldview. I
believe therapy should feel like a space where you can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with
yourself.
Whether online or in person, I work to create a supportive environment where you can explore
concerns related to relationships, gender, trauma, grief, identity, and life transitions. My goal is to
help you cultivate greater clarity, resilience, and overall wellness because living a better life
shouldn’t feel out of reach.
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.
Welcome. Thank you for taking the first step toward wholeness. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on systemic and relational healing. This includes journeying with my clients through ancestral, childhood, and adulthood life challenges to help them access and address pain.
