Dr. Joe McSpillman
Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.
I believe that you deserve to be your happiest, healthiest, and most empowered self.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a graduate of Frontier Nursing University, with over 11 years of nursing experience and one year of advanced clinical training across outpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, inpatient detoxification, skilled nursing facilities, and telehealth. I provide evidence-based psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar and mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, substance use disorders, and psychotic disorders, including complex and co-occurring presentations. My clinical background includes crisis intervention, suicide risk assessment, stabilization, and long-term outpatient care focused on functional improvement and sustained recovery.
I find my most fulfilling times are assisting others in seeing how they are growing and impacting others around them. I am known for being a calm and grounding presence in sessions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Hawaii
Searching for therapists in Hawaii starts with finding someone whose training and focus match what you want support with. Needs and available therapists can vary across urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look beyond location alone. You may want care for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.
Your search may look different in Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, or other communities across the islands. Some people prefer in-person therapy close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. To narrow your options, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, their appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience before you book.
The cost of therapy in Hawaii varies, and care can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
