Chrystalline Sagario

Aloha! My name is Chrys Sagario, and I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Maui. I am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in Hawaii; I currently live in Oahu and have been working in the mental health field for nine years. My goal is to help and guide individuals toward achieving their personal goals. This provider resides in Hawaii.

My approach

In my approach to providing therapy, I draw upon two main theoretical frameworks (but are not limited to): Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). These approaches offer distinct perspectives and techniques that can be tailored to the needs of each individual client.

My focus

As a therapist, my client focus encompasses individuals dealing with anxiety and depression. I recognize the significant impact that these mental health conditions can have on a person's well-being and daily functioning. My approach is centered around providing compassionate and effective support to help clients navigate and overcome these challenges.

My communication style

I strive to create a safe and open environment where people feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions without the fear of being judged. Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life can be daunting, but I am here to support you throughout the process. Let's work together to reach your goals and create a better life for yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a therapist, my personal background and experiences have greatly shaped my approach to helping individuals navigate their own unique challenges. Growing up in a multigenerational immigrant family home on the beautiful island of Maui, I encountered a myriad of new and diverse experiences. These experiences, while not uncommon in the culturally rich setting of Hawaii, presented me with the opportunity to navigate issues of generational differences, cultural nuances, and emotional complexities on my own. My personal journey of understanding and overcoming these challenges has instilled in me a deep sense of empathy and a strong desire to assist others in their own navigation of similar issues and what those issues bring. I am passionate about supporting individuals as they explore their journey and navigate the intricate tapestry of emotions that arise from these experiences.

My goals for you

In therapy sessions, goal setting plays a crucial role in helping clients identify their desired outcomes and establish a clear path toward achieving them. I use a collaborative, client-centered approach to goal setting and work with clients at their comfort level.

My first session with you

During your first session with me, I want to create a supportive and welcoming environment that promotes openness and trust. We will build rapport, gather information, create and clarify goals and expectations, and answer any questions you may have.
