Lōkahi Counseling Center is a mental health counseling practice on Hekaha Street in Aiea that serves individuals and families from Aiea, Pearl City and across Oʻahu.

Jennifer Cornwell, a licensed marriage and family therapist who was born and raised on Oʻahu, founded the practice in 2020.

The center is named for the Hawaiian value of lōkahi, meaning harmony and unity.

Its team of licensed clinicians and associate therapists works with children, teens, adults, couples and families.

Counseling covers concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, behavioral concerns in keiki and teens, life transitions and substance use.

Therapists use approaches including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-focused therapy, play therapy and the Gottman Method for couples.

The center also offers social skills groups for children and teens, support for military members and their families, Employee Assistance Program services and Substance Abuse Professional assessments.

Its child and teen therapists work with Hawaiʻi Department of Education schools and welcome school-based referrals, including for students with IEPs and 504 plans.
