Welcome to Hearken Psychology
To hearken is to listen, to give respectful attention. Hearken Psychology is committed to hearing your needs and centering your progress. Therapy gives you the opportunity to deepen your understanding of self and your relationship to others. With warmth and curiosity, I invite your true self to enter the therapy space and meet you with care, empathy and humility. Regardless of your reasons for seeking therapy, my goal is to walk alongside you and help guide your path to healing.
ABOUT ME
Aloha, I am Dr. Kaleigh DeSimone, a licensed clinical psychologist serving adults living in Hawai'i. Therapy has ancestral ties for me, as the name DeSimone means to listen or hearken. I live in Honolulu with my family and consider it a privilege to offer psychotherapy services to this community.
I am dedicated to providing an inclusive therapy space, particularly to LGBTQIA adults and to those who have been pushed to the margins. As a generalist, I treat a range of presenting concerns and offer culturally responsive, evidence-based treatments for PTSD, anger/irritability, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. I am an integrative therapist taking a flexible, scientifically informed approach to meet your specific needs. I also understand such needs to exist within and be influenced by broader socio-cultural contexts.
OVERVIEW OF SERVICES
Therapy should fit your needs, your budget, and your schedule. Following a comprehensive intake assessment, I will make recommendations for a course treatment and we'll collaborate on a plan that will work for you. Such options could include brief, evidence informed interventions that target identified needs (e.g., six, 30-minute appointments to improve sleep), full-length evidence based interventions (e.g., 12 to 15 sessions to address PTSD), or integrative care that flexibly supports your growth overtime.
REACH OUT
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to mutually determine fit.
Please call 808-797-2144 or select CONTACT to submit an inquiry electronically and I will be in touch.
AVAILABILITY
Please note that I offer telehealth appointments on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I have pending applications to accept HMSA as well as Kaiser insurance. Super-bills are available to present to your insurance company for reimbursement and I accept HSA.
