Our Moʻolelo
The roots of our innovative practice at The Kāhala Clinic began in 2008. We are committed to connecting with each person through compassion, presence, and genuine care. Nestled in the peaceful coastal community of Kāhala, our clinic draws inspiration from the land’s calming beauty and spirit of renewal—offering a space where healing feels natural and deeply supported.
Our Values, Beliefs & Approach
We believe every individual's journey—whether child, adolescent, adult, or family—is an opportunity for growth, healing, and transformation. Situated in the heart of Honolulu, our compassionate and expert team is dedicated to promoting brain development, emotional balance, and meaningful engagement with life.
At The Kāhala Clinic, we offer comprehensive and practical solutions for life’s challenges, with a focus on mental health across the lifespan. Our philosophy centers on a holistic, personalized approach—recognizing that mental health cannot be separated from physical, social, cultural and spiritual influences. Through close collaboration with patients and families, we build supportive treatment plans tailored to each person’s strengths, goals, and life circumstances.
As part of our collaborative care model, psychiatric nurse practitioners deliver high-quality mental health services under the supervision of our experienced, board-certified psychiatrists. This integrated approach ensures that patients receive the highest standard of care, combining the expertise of skilled practitioners with the oversight of trusted specialists.
Dr. Bell and Jenny are a great team! They both helped my daughter in getting through a challenging period. They gave her and I a sense of support and understanding when we were both lost and afraid. I am grateful for Dr. Bell and Jenny's knowledge, skill, and compassion; she is now an adult and doing well.
