Services
Brain Map
In partnership with Brain Health Hawaii, The Kahala Clinic provides a state-of-the-art Functional Brain Assessment (FBA) at a reduced cost. This advanced evaluation visualizes brain activity, pinpointing where and how it occurs and detecting any irregularities in brain rhythms, offering valuable insights into your brain’s health.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) provides rapid relief for depression, anxiety, and PTSD by modifying brain chemistry and boosting neuroplasticity. Administered in a controlled setting, KAP improves mood, cognitive function, and chronic pain management, and enhances the effectiveness of traditional psychotherapy. It offers a promising solution for treatment-resistant mental health conditions.
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is a holistic approach that addresses structural and functional imbalances in the body to enhance overall health. By using hands-on techniques like myofascial release, muscle energy, and cranial osteopathy, OMM helps regulate the nervous system, improve fluid and breath dynamics, and alleviate restrictions caused by stress or trauma. This integrative treatment supports both physical and mental well-being by working with the body's innate healing capabilities.
Sleep Evaluation & Management
We offer at-home sleep tests to monitor oxygen levels and pulse, providing initial insights into sleep apnea. For a thorough evaluation, we collaborate with Brain Health Hawaii for detailed sleep studies. These assessments diagnose disorders like sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome, enabling early intervention to enhance cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall health for both children and adults.
Individual & Family Therapy
We offer individual and family therapy to enhance mental health and well-being for children, teens, and adults. Our experienced providers use a range of approaches, including cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, family-based, and trauma-informed therapies, to address and resolve emotional and relational challenges.
Cognitive Assessment Program
Our Cognitive Assessment & Monitoring Program offers neuro-cognitive testing to evaluate memory, concentration, reasoning, and verbal abilities. This program provides a comprehensive baseline assessment and continuous monitoring to track cognitive changes over time and measure the effectiveness of treatments, helping to tailor interventions for optimal outcomes.
Learning Differences
Supporting individuals with learning differences involves personalized interventions to enhance academic performance, boost confidence, and develop social-emotional skills. By identifying specific challenges like dyslexia or ADHD early, tailored strategies and accommodations can minimize obstacles and foster long-term success in education and beyond. Early intervention and targeted support empower individuals to achieve their full potential and navigate transitions effectively.
Pharmacogenetics
Pharmacogenomics examines how an individual's genetic makeup influences their response to medications. By integrating pharmacology and genomics, this field enables the development of personalized treatment plans, optimizing drug efficacy and minimizing adverse effects. The aim is to tailor medications and doses to each person's unique genetic profile, ensuring safer and more effective therapeutic outcomes.
TMS
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, offering numerous health benefits. It effectively treats depression, reduces anxiety and PTSD symptoms, and improves cognitive function. TMS also helps manage chronic pain with minimal side effects. As a non-invasive outpatient procedure, TMS provides a safe and effective alternative for various mental health and neurological conditions, enhancing overall quality of life.
Medications
When symptoms continue despite therapy, our doctors and nurse practitioners prescribe medications to enhance health and well-being. With extensive experience in pharmacological treatments, our clinicians tailor medication plans to each patient's specific needs, ensuring personalized and effective care to support their overall mental and emotional functioning.
IV Nutrient Therapy
IV and injection nutrient therapy administer vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream for immediate, effective results. This approach boosts energy, enhances immune function, improves hydration, and supports quicker recovery from illness or exercise. By bypassing the digestive system, it ensures optimal absorption and addresses nutrient deficiencies, promoting overall health and well-being.
Nasal Relief Therapy
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that alleviates nasal congestion by opening blocked sinus passages. This treatment improves sleep quality by reducing snoring and symptoms of sleep apnea, leading to more restful sleep. Enhanced sleep boosts oxygen intake, energy levels, and mood, while decreasing daytime fatigue and stress. This supports cognitive functions and overall mental health, helping to stabilize mood and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Rhinomanometry
Rhinomanometry is a diagnostic procedure that measures airflow and pressure in the nasal passages to assess nasal obstruction. It involves using a mask and a rhinomanometer to detect issues like septal deviations and turbinate hypertrophy. By diagnosing and treating nasal obstructions, rhinomanometry can improve sleep quality and respiratory function. Better breathing and sleep positively impact mental health, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and enhancing overall well-being.
