Family therapy and counseling in Hawaii

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.

Bio of Antoinette M. Rodrigues, MA, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist:

Toni was born and raised on the island of O’ahu. She obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences from Hawaii Pacific University. She completed her Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University Hawaii. She became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Hawaii in 2018. Toni’s clients describe her as genuine and compassionate. Toni is married and has an adult son. She has lived and worked on Maui for over 30 years, for a variety of State and non-profit agencies, and in private practice. She enjoys Hawaiian music and hula.

If you've been holding a lot for a long time, therapy can be a place where you finally exhale. I work with women and teens who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply not like themselves. Whether you're navigating stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, or that constant sense of emotional overload, our work together can help you feel more grounded, supported, and clear about what comes next. Clients often describe me as compassionate, calming, and easy to talk to.

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.

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 Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience in outpatient behavioral health and healthcare leadership in Hawaiʻi. I work with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem or emotional well-being.

I believe people are capable of growth and resilience, even during difficult periods of life. My goal is to help clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward lives that feel more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with their values.

It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

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 support children, teens, adults, and families across Hawaiʻi with integrative psychiatry that honors the whole person. I work with people navigating anxiety, mood changes, attention and neurodevelopmental differences, and life transitions, and I welcome those seeking care that feels thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. My approach combines traditional psychiatric care with evidence-based holistic support, with attention to symptoms, root causes, and overall well-being. I’m dedicated to serving individuals across Oʻahu, Lānaʻi, Kauaʻi, Maui, Molokaʻi, and the Island of Hawaiʻi. I want visits to feel warm, clear, and empowering.
