Your mind
deserves care
Compassionate, culturally grounded therapy from a clinical psychologist rooted in Honolulu — meeting you exactly where you are.
A psychologist who sees
the whole person
I'm Dr. Patrick K. Kamakawiwo'ole, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Honolulu. My practice is built on a simple conviction: healing happens in the context of a genuine, trusting relationship.
I draw from evidence-based approaches — cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and culturally responsive frameworks — tailored to your unique story. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply seeking greater clarity, this is a space where you can show up as you are.
Support for the
challenges you face
Each service is tailored to your needs. No two people walk the same path — and your therapy should reflect that.

How therapy
can work for you
My approach is collaborative and grounded. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model — instead, I blend several evidence-based modalities to create a plan that fits your life, your values, and your goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and stress.
Mindfulness-Based Techniques
Ground yourself in the present moment with practices that reduce rumination and build emotional regulation.
Culturally Responsive Frameworks
Integrate your cultural identity, community context, and personal history into the therapeutic process.
Trauma-Informed Care
A safe, empowering space where past experiences are honored and healing is approached at your pace.
"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another."
— William JamesTherapy isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about creating a space where you can finally hear yourself think — and discover the strength that was there all along.

Common questions
Your first session is an opportunity for us to meet, share what brings you in, and begin building a therapeutic relationship. There's no pressure to have everything figured out — just come as you are. We'll discuss your goals, my approach, and whether we're a good fit.
Please reach out by phone or email to discuss insurance, out-of-network reimbursement, and sliding-scale options. I'm happy to help you navigate the details so that cost isn't a barrier to care.
Telehealth sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You'll receive a link before your appointment. All you need is a quiet space, a device with a camera, and a stable internet connection.
I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity-related concerns. My culturally responsive approach is particularly meaningful for clients from Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and multiracial backgrounds — though all are welcome.
There's no set timeline — therapy is as long or as short as you need it to be. Some clients find relief in a handful of sessions; others benefit from ongoing support. We'll revisit your goals regularly and adjust as you grow.
My office is located at 1188 Bishop St, Honolulu, HI 96813, in the heart of downtown Honolulu. In-person and telehealth sessions are both available.
