Aloha and welcome on your journey to wellness. My name is Darryl Khan, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Hawaii. I have been practicing as a mental health counselor for over 19 years. In 2003 I obtained my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University and since then I have served local populations experiencing challenges including chronic mental illnesses, romantic relationship and family dysfunction, and substance use disorders. My areas of specialty include treatment of depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and abuse.
During my career, I have worked with and understand the challenges of individuals involved with institutions such as Child Welfare Services, Family Courts, and the Public Safety Department. I have also empowered individuals using cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy to restore mental health, recover from addiction and improve their quality of life.
I am certified in cognitive behavioral therapy using the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) and I am also certified to provide dialectical behavior therapy. My counseling style is interactive, culturally sensitive, and compassionate. I welcome the opportunity to know, journey and work with you.

I was incredibly against the idea of therapy and drug my feet on starting it for so long. I finally got myself to try it out because I was looking for help working through something that came up in life and I also just always strive to be a better person and Daryl has given me multiple ways to think about things and work through life and problems that have been so incredibly useful. His calm demeanor and friendly way of communicating really makes me feel comfortable talking about life.

Darryl has the ability to discern my conflicts in terms of relationships, personal development, and career goals ; he's able to break things down in a sense where I can understand and approach my struggles: differently, efficiently, and effectively. I am very privileged to have him as my therapist.

Darryl has become a friend to me rather than just a therapist because I can directly relate to him and we can exchange knowledge and thoughts freely without any doubt of feeling unsafe. He is respectful, and most importantly he is there to listen and sometimes that’s just what we all need
