Sunny Ginter, LMFT — Therapist in Hawaii

Hi there, I'm Sunny!

I work with adolescents and young adults who are experiencing stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and trauma symptoms.

My focus

My client focus is assisting individuals in identifying their feelings, thoughts, and behavior, and recognizing negative and unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.

My approach

My therapeutic approach varies depending on the needs of the client I am working with. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as resilience models, including Family Resiliency. These models assist an individual in building an understanding of their reality, developing steps for progress, and a path forward.

My communication style

My communication style is personable, calm, and humorous. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me and know they have a safe place to communicate their needs and wants with no judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in therapy began with a curiosity about human thoughts and behavior. I spent several years working with at-risk youth, special needs families, female youth who have experienced trauma, individuals experiencing their first episode of psychosis, as well as working with children who are experiencing mental health challenges.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is working with the client to discover what their needs are and what they would like to achieve while we are working together.

Our first session

During our first session, a client can expect to talk about their recent experiences, feelings, and concerns, as well as the process of therapy and what to expect. This allows us to get to know one another and allows the client to feel comfortable in therapy.
