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.
Aloha! It is my firm belief for everyone to find the right therapist that fits them in order to be comfortable and empowered to be their best version of self. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am committed to helping my clients navigate through relational issues, communication approaches, understanding and coping with how ADHD impact their everyday life, and deal with stress or anxiety from significant life changes or events.
I have lived in Hawaii for 12 years now and am originally from New York State. My dad lived on Kauai my whole life so my connections and roots are here. In my personal time, I love to take care of animals, eat healthy, and enjoy the island. I believe that mental health is a whole body and system approach. I have worked with children and adolescents my entire career. My presence has been strong in the school system so I know how to navigate that culture and those rules as well.
Never thought I'd be a psychologist, but here I am and I love it. I've worked in the music industry, with animals, at coffee shops and yes, Chuck E. Cheese. I have returned to my hometown in Hawaii and embrace the laid back lifestyle after years in the Los Angeles concrete jungle. Ask me anything!
(FYI~ I do not accept EAPs at this time.)
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. Clients that work with me often gain insights, feel more connected to themselves and others and increase their emotional well being.
Hello, I am Sanayah Marriott, a licensed clinical
social worker in CA and HI. I work with adults
navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem,
and substance use, including people who have
been through therapy before and want it to feel
different this time. I am fluent in English and
Haitian Creole. I am also a Certified Alcohol and
Drug Counselor-II with 10 years of extensive
experience in addiction treatment settings and 20
years of military experience, so service life and the
transition back to civilian routines are familiar
ground for me. I am thrilled that you have chosen
to embark on a journey towards personal growth
and self-care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a 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.
