Getting to know Deborah Kalei Pi'ena

Aloha, my name is Kalei Piena (Deborah), and I have been a therapist for several years with a private practice in Hilo, HI. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, but I also incorporate other therapies, such as EMDR, to best meet the needs of my clients. My approach I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with most clients; however, when that approach may not be as effective, I adapt by integrating other therapeutic methods to support my clients' unique needs. My focus I usually work with adults who want to change their behavior or better understand their reactions. My communication style I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, warm, and comfortable environment to help clients feel at ease and open during our sessions. My journey to mental healthcare I realized I had been naturally supporting others in this way for some time, so I decided to pursue it professionally. My goals for you In the first session, I review therapy goals with you and discuss a plan to achieve them. My first session with you I aim to get to know and understand you better, so I may ask many background questions to tailor our work together.
