Ariel Halemano, MA, LMHC, NCC

Aloha!

I am a proud Native Hawaiian wahine in this field, eager to support my community. Being born and raised in Hawai’i but branching out for college in Pennsylvania has given me a unique perspective and respect for various backgrounds/beliefs.

I am nationally certified and licensed in the state of Hawaii as a mental health therapist. I have experience working with children, teens, adults and family but currently see more children/teens at this time. I specialize in treating trauma symptoms of both a singular event and complex (multiple/ongoing) trauma. I do have specific training in sexual assault trauma and intimate partner violence.

I consider myself an eclectic therapist, using a blend of therapeutic approaches/techniques based on what each client may need. I have received training in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), trauma informed care (TIC), and play therapy. My main approach is person-centered and rooted in a mix of culturally responsive care.

I live by the motto, “Aloha kekahi i kekahi,” which means to love and care for one another. So if you’re ready to start your healing journey, I’d love to be a part of your support village and can’t wait to see what you accomplish!
