Na Aliʻi o Ka Malu is a Native Hawaiian Healing Center in its beginning stage. Today it is an Oʻahu-based, Kanaka Maoli-owned healing and psychological practice led by Kauka Kauahi and offering secure telehealth throughout Hawaiʻi. The longer-term multidisciplinary center is a vision being built, not a claim that every future service is available now.

Dr. Isaiah Kealiʻiokamalu Kauahi, PsyD, is a Hawaiʻi-licensed clinical psychologist (PSY-2314), Kanaka Maoli practitioner, Haku Hoʻoponopono, and founder of Na Aliʻi o Ka Malu. His approved public education and accredited-training details appear on the About page.

No. The Practice has a clear kuleana to the lahui and welcomes inquiries from people throughout Hawaiʻi who seek culturally responsive care. Every service still depends on fit, scope, location, safety, and capacity.

The current center is virtual and has no public walk-in location. Most available services are provided by secure telehealth. Any in-person work requires a separate written arrangement; it is not assumed or guaranteed.

Adult individual therapy, adult couples therapy, GOLD, Hoʻoponopono, and clinical and cultural consultation are available after fit and scope are confirmed. The Practice does not currently offer therapy or other services to minors. Group therapy, family therapy, clinical supervision, psychological testing, lomilomi, laʻau lapaʻau, and other future center services are not currently offered.

Individual therapy is for adults 18 and older and is accepted case by case. The client must be physically in Hawaiʻi for every session.

Adult partners in varied relationship structures may inquire, including married, unmarried, premarital, LGBTQ+, consensually nonmonogamous, separated, reconciling, co-parenting, and separation-considering partners. All therapy participants must be physically in Hawaiʻi and able to participate safely.

Not at this time. Appropriate family participation may be considered through a separately scoped Hoʻoponopono process. That process is not family therapy. However, Family Therapy is a planned future service.

The Practice does not currently offer therapy or other services to minors.

Because of overlapping professional responsibilities, therapy is not available to current students enrolled in Leeward District schools. Other possible conflicts—including adult programs, staff, former students, parents, family members, or community overlap—are reviewed individually before services begin.

No. For a therapy appointment, you must be physically in Hawaiʻi at the time of service. Tell the Practice before travel so the appointment can be rescheduled or another lawful plan can be discussed.

People may bring depression, grief, anger, burnout, self-esteem, relationship or family conflict, career decisions, transitions, discrimination, cultural or systemic oppression, intergenerational or historical trauma, men’s concerns, medical-professional stress, athletic concerns, and high-performance pressure. Fit and level of care are still assessed individually.

Care uses a multicultural, integrative, person-centered foundation. When appropriate, it may draw from cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, family-systems, emotionally focused, solution-focused, motivational, positive-psychology, and culturally responsive approaches. No single method or cultural practice is imposed.

Hiki ke ʻolelo Hawaiʻi. Therapy may be in English, Hawaiian, bilingually, or may weave selected Hawaiian language into the work. The approach depends on preference, proficiency, clinical need, and clear mutual understanding.

The relationship unit is the focus of care. The couples agreement explains confidentiality, individual contacts, the handling of material information, and record access. The Practice cannot guarantee that another participant will keep information private.

The Practice reviews fit, competence, risk, level of care, and capacity case by case. Emergency, intensive, court-ordered, forensic, custody, disability-evaluation, testing, and other specialized needs may require a different provider or setting. Referral options are discussed when available but cannot be guaranteed.

Therapy is a licensed psychological service focused on clinical assessment and treatment within a psychotherapy agreement. Hoʻoponopono is a distinct Kanaka Maoli cultural and spiritual healing process. Depending on the written scope, a particular Hoʻoponopono engagement may be part of clinical care or a separately scoped cultural service. Themes from Hoʻoponopono may be woven into therapy, but that does not make therapy a full Hoʻoponopono process.

Spirituality and Ke Akua are central to the Practice’s Hoʻoponopono service. Ke Akua may be understood as God, Creator, Universe, Mana, or a participant’s sincere understanding of something greater. Belief is not imposed, and no one is required to adopt a religion, forgive, reconcile, or disclose private genealogy or ceremony.

Readiness is discussed privately. The Haku considers purpose, willingness, safety, relationships, power, participant roles, and whether the process can be held responsibly. More preparation, a different arrangement, referral, or no process may be recommended.

Hoʻolauna i ka hana is $200 for 60 minutes. Hoʻomakaukau is $250 for 45 minutes. Hoʻoponopono is $300 for 60 minutes. The written scope and any approved community-access arrangement control the actual charge.

No. Every service is limited to Hawaiʻi. Required participant-location and scope details are confirmed before acceptance.

A Hoʻomaka is a free 15-minute phone consultation used to discuss the general concern, basic eligibility, and likely next step. It is not therapy, does not provide crisis care, and does not guarantee that the Practice will accept an ongoing engagement.

Use a private location, reliable internet, a working camera and microphone, and a stable device. Headphones are recommended. Do not join while driving. Therapy clients confirm their physical location and emergency contact. A telephone backup plan is reviewed.

Use the I’m Ready button to open SimplePractice and request a free initial consultation. Do not send private clinical information by ordinary email.

Email info@naokm.com for general business and consultation inquiries only. Do not send private health information, patient names, records, or detailed clinical information. Existing clients should use the secure portal for client matters.

Services are strictly by appointment only, with evening and weekend availability. Call 808-515-6950 if needed, but online setup through the secure client portal is the fastest way to begin.

Messages are not monitored continuously. The Practice responds as soon as reasonably possible during business operations, but the public website does not promise an immediate or fixed turnaround. Do not use website, email, portal, voicemail, or social media for emergencies.

Yes. The Practice does not bill insurance directly. Payment is due according to the service agreement and is processed through the agreed SimplePractice workflow.

A superbill may be available for eligible psychotherapy when appropriate. A superbill is not a promise of reimbursement. Your insurer decides whether a service, diagnosis, provider, format, or amount qualifies. Superbills are not promised for Hoʻoponopono, GOLD, or consultation.

Individual therapy is $200 for 30 minutes, $350 for the standard 45 minutes, and $450 for 60 minutes. Couples therapy is $500 for 45 minutes. An individual partner meeting, when clinically appropriate, is $350 for 45 minutes. These are total charges; Hawaiʻi GET is not added separately.

The standard planning rate for clinical or cultural consultation is $500 for 60 minutes. A written proposal or agreement controls the final scope, fee, travel, deliverables, and cancellation terms. The amount quoted is the total charge; Hawaiʻi GET is not added separately.

GOLD costs $350 for 45 minutes. The amount quoted is the total charge; Hawaiʻi GET is not added separately.

A limited number of community-access, lower-fee, payment-plan, or reciprocal arrangements may be considered prospectively in writing at the Practice’s discretion. Availability is not guaranteed, and the actual written amount must be used in the Good Faith Estimate.

If you do not have insurance or are not using insurance to pay, federal law generally gives you the right to a written estimate of expected charges when care is scheduled far enough in advance or when you ask. If a bill from a provider is at least $400 more than that provider’s estimate, you may be able to dispute it. Request an estimate through the secure client portal or by calling the Practice; see the CMS resource linked in the footer for current details.

Your signed service agreement controls. At least 24 hours’ notice is required. A late cancellation or no-show may be charged up to the full reserved-service fee. The Practice may waive a fee at its discretion based on an emergency or other circumstances; a waiver is not guaranteed.

Not without advance written agreement. Please do not record, photograph, screenshot, livestream, transcribe, or add an AI bot or meeting assistant without the Practice’s written agreement and any required participant permissions. The controlling service agreement explains the rule.

Use the footer links for the Website Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use. The website policies govern website use; service-specific agreements and notices govern professional services. A Notice of Privacy Practices will be posted only if the documented HIPAA covered-entity determination shows that it applies.

Cash-pay status by itself does not answer that question. HIPAA covered-entity status depends in part on whether the Practice transmits health information electronically in a standard HIPAA transaction. The Practice is documenting its actual transaction workflow and will not make a public HIPAA-status claim until that review is complete.

The Practice is working to improve access and aims toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA. If website information is difficult to use or you need an alternate format or reasonable communication accommodation, contact the Practice by phone or general email without including private clinical details.

Na Aliʻi o Ka Malu is not a crisis service. If there is immediate danger or a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. In Hawaiʻi, call or text 988. You may also call Hawaiʻi CARES at 808-832-3100 or 800-753-6879. Website, email, portal, voicemail, and social media are not monitored continuously.
