Desiree C. Cabinte, Ph.D., LLC

Finding the right therapist is an important step in your path toward greater clarity, balance and growth. I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood, respected, and empowered. As a licensed psychologist, I provide culturally sensitive therapy and work collaboratively with clients to address emotional, relational, and life concerns in a thoughtful and personalized way. My approach to therapy is integrative, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy. Together, we will explore the patterns, experiences, and challenges that may be interfering with your goals, gain deeper self-understanding, and develop effective coping strategies. With compassion and curiosity, I support clients in building resilience, improving emotional well-being, strengthening relationships, and creating a more meaningful and balanced life. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, stress, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, divorce, grief and loss, low self-esteem, college-related concerns, and issues related to culture, identity, and diversity. Having grown up on Oʻahu and returning after 16 years on the mainland, I bring both local and mainland perspectives and am committed to supporting lifelong residents as well as those who have made Hawaiʻi their home. I offer telehealth therapy appointments on Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and also offer a limited number of evening appointments. I welcome you to reach out to see if working together feels like the right fit.
