Akua Campanella MSW RSW LCSW LICSW

WELCOME: It takes motivation and courage to reach out for assistance with life's challenges, and whether or not you feel we are a good fit, I greatly appreciate you taking time to review my profile. From my 15+ years in the field of Social Work I strongly believe that Talk Therapy can have an overwhelmingly positive impact upon various mental health conditions and coping skills. During graduate school I focused on clinical social work and also Inter-group Dialogue. This enhanced my abilities at facilitating conversations that strive to create new levels of understanding, relating, and action. My skills were further sharpened, while working internationally with a range of individuals in New Zealand, Fiji, Australia, South Africa and Egypt. After traveling, I settled in Hawaii. MY PRACTICE: Presently, I work with adults of all ages experiencing instability in various facets of their lives. These challenges include: income loss, addiction, homelessness, anger management, incarceration, self-esteem issues, historical trauma, chronic pain, the pursuit of higher education, and loss of support systems. Though I tend to draw from Cognitive Behavioral and Person-Centered therapies; I believe in an Integrative Therapy approach, seeing that it can be a combination of various forms of therapy that can be more inclusive, flexible and likely allowing more collaboration between client and therapist. APPOINTMENTS: I mainly practice Telehealth; afternoons, evenings and nights Mon - Thurs; but can be flexible. Please email/text 808.343.7484 with any questions or appointment requests.
