KUPUNA TO KAMALI'I MAUI

A PLACE FOR HEALING AND GROWTH

At Catholic Charities Hawai‘i, we are working closely with our community partners to provide vital support to those impacted by the Maui wildfires. Together, we are addressing immediate needs like disaster case management, counseling, and essential services. We’re also focused on long-term recovery efforts to help communities rebuild and regain stability. Our collaborative efforts aim to ensure that the people affected have the resources and support they need, both now and in the future.

OUR THERAPIST

MALYNTHA HALEYALPIY

I bring with me 10 years of experience as a mental health case manager and over 25 years of experience as a family therapist. Specializing in cognitive/behavioral therapy as well as cultural/spiritual strategies, I have been able to work with clients to untangle their challenges to discover their authentic selves.

I believe that every child, every person can heal and reach their fullest potential given the right tools and a loving support system.

KRISTINA SILVA-PEDRERO

Aloha, I’m Kristina, MSW. I am a graduate of the University of Hawaii and a pre-licensed Native Hawaiian therapist offering services on Maui. I specialize in women, adolescents, and indigenous populations and use a strengths-based approach that encourages people to live in their own personal and unique truths. I utilize theories like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing while also incorporating cultural and spiritual components. I am passionate about supporting those who have experienced trauma (including historical trauma), pre and post-partum, PTSD, and sexual violence. I enjoy reading, dancing, and spending time with my son, husband, and fur babies.
