Aloha! My name is Dr. Ryan Gillia. I am Licensed Clinical Psychologist (Psy.D.) in Hawai’i who is deeply committed to helping our local island community. Do you feel "stuck” or unable to move forward despite your best efforts? Feel conflicted or as if you are constantly “fighting myself”? Find that you are able to cognitively understand why you struggle but still experience unresolved emotional distress? Born and raised on Oahu, I hold deep appreciation for Hawaii’s unique history, culture, and values. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is grounding, calm, and welcoming of people of any race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, class, ability, language or cultural background. I embrace a trauma-informed and multicultural therapeutic approach that is compassionate and non-pathologizing. I believe that human connection, exploration, collaboration, and creative problem solving are integral to the growth process. In psychotherapy, I integrate evidence-based strategies supported by research on mind-body connection, somatic processing, attachment, parts of self, and brain-based practices. I am trained in Brainspotting and Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies to help my clients heal from trauma and adverse lived experiences (individual, collective, and historical) and release the tension of survival response patterns stored in their bodies. If you feel that previous experiences with “talk therapy” did not fully resolve your issues and would like to learn more about my services, please contact me for a complimentary 10-minute consultation.
