This spares you parking in downtown Honolulu while we collect information and answer your questions after you've read the website. This usually takes at least 45 minutes. Pls do not call unregistered for consult or appointment.
2. After the initial telehealth we will schedule an in-office appoint, provide referral, and/or provide information.
3. Parking in downtown Honolulu is challenging, even after and knowing your options. If you park at Alii Place, the cheapest parking, pls allow time to walk a few blocks to our office.
4. Location: Century Square, 1188 Bishop St. #2904. Office appointments are for clinical work as LENS, EMDR, BSP that require in-person attendance. CBT consults are scheduled Thursdays.
5. To do LENS complete 3-questionnaires at www.ochslabs.com: go to LENS clinical forms, then Online forms, Use the same email as on your registration. Automatic upload can take 48 hr.
Following each LENS, rerate your top 10 LENS issues in 48 hr at www.ochslabs.com. These rerated issues provide a scale of your progress.
6.To do trauma therapy record the earliest and worst traumas:
1) age it occurred,
2) 0-10 rating in severity,
3) briefest summary.
Following trauma therapy you may notice your responses differ from reactions prior trauma therapy.
This is permanent but it doesn't prevent you creating new traumas. An old trauma can seem to reoccur if you continue to be exposed to the same traumatization, as with a family member with personality disorder.
Our Process
An initial orientation is telehealth. Questions, background, preparing trauma(s) for EMDR, preparing for LENS, determining dx and methodology occur. EMDR, BSP, TFT, or LENS are used in office sessions.. We are an acute trauma clinic. We refer clients needing long-term CBT to CBT therapists.
We collaborate throughout your therapy journey. Your input guides therapy technique(s), pace, switching trauma therapies, using LENS, CBT, EMDR, TFT or EFT.
We use rapid resolution trauma techniques to resolve lifelong trauma in a session to lift depression, calm anxiety.. Progress is expedited by improving brain function with LENS. Three rapid trauma technologies support individual needs: EMDR, BSP, or TFT/EFT resolve causal trauma to eliminate triggers, unpredictable, uncontrollable, overwhelming negative emotions.
By resolving causal trauma, entrenched behaviors and old patterns disappear, allowing you to think through to create more productive, behaviors, effective strategies, versus reacting.
Contained trauma can be resolved with EMDR typically in 1-3 sessions depending on issue complexity and your processing speed. Trauma processing may open repressed trauma. Once surfaced, it can be trauma processed and eliminated permanently.
Compulsions, addictions, low esteem, anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress symptoms, when resolved change life dynamics. Productive behaviors tend to emerge in relationships and situations.
Treatment is customized as individuals respond uniquely to therapies. Our goal is to expedite your journey to be who you want to be.
