Akahai Emotional Wellness, LLC - Secure Client Area
"No one should have to walk alone"
My name is Kevin Faust. I am a state-licensed, nationally board-certified mental health counselor, certified clinical trauma professional, and trained EMDR clinician.
Together we will work to help you heal from past traumas, tragedies, and hardships that are negatively affecting your life today. We are all recovering from our childhoods or from the past in some ways. Maybe you have difficulties in current relationships because you had past trauma in old relationships with caregivers, romantic partners, or others. Maybe you have difficulty controlling your emotions, or you have trouble with self-esteem and lack confidence. Maybe you feel stressed out, unsafe, anxious, depressed, scared, or have trouble finding stability & focus in your life. I’d like to help.
I am an EMDR trained clinician. I also incorporate traditional talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), ecosystemic structural family therapy (ESFT), motivational interviewing, as well as other skills, techniques, and tools to help my clients heal. We will work together to figure out what works best for your overall wellness and healing.
I also enjoy using concepts surrounding spirituality and mindfulness. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness. Mental health is huge, but it cannot be sustained without self-care and healthy boundaries in other areas, such as lifestyle, diet, exercise, spirituality, and the quality of our connections with others. Sometimes stability in our basic needs is where we will have to start. Mental health cannot be achieved if our basic human needs are not being met.
Wherever you are, that is where we will begin.
I have professional experience and training in issues surrounding domestic violence, sexual assault, family based therapy, substance abuse, narcissistic abuse, and trauma recovery. I have worked with victims of abuse as well as with perpetrators, but I am drawn more towards working with victims. This is where I feel my abilities have a greater impact on our community.
If you think I might be a good fit, please reach out. In the free, initial consultation, together we will decide if we should work together, or if I can help you find a better fit. My goal is to help you find what is best for you.
