Dawn Harada, LP — Therapist in Hawaii

Hi there, I'm Dawn!

I have training and experience in health and clinical psychology, working in primary care clinics with physicians and healthcare specialists. My areas of interest include depression, anxiety, ADHD, neuropsychological and psychological testing, and health-related behaviors such as chronic conditions, insomnia, and weight management.

My focus

I work with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, situational stressors, life transitions, chronic health conditions, weight management, attention, and other neuro-developmental conditions.

My approach

I utilize client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness frameworks. I conceptualize and treat from a biopsychosocial and neuropsychological perspective.

My communication style

I strive to provide clients with a comfortable, relatable, and collaborative experience as we navigate towards improved mental health and well-being. I also aim to provide a calm and safe environment for my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a psychologist was driven by a deep curiosity about the mind-body connection and how our thoughts, emotions, and physical health intersect. I wanted to help people navigate the complex relationship between mental and physical well-being in meaningful ways.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to identify their goals and develop personalized strategies that fit their unique needs. We focus on building practical skills, addressing barriers, and celebrating progress along the way to create sustainable change.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you have. I'll ask questions to understand your background and current challenges. This is also a time for you to ask questions and see if we're a good fit working together.
