Operating through a collaborative public-private network including community-based agencies and Family Guidance Centers, CAMHD ensures individualized care that involves the youth and their families in every step of treatment planning and decision-making. Their free services include assessments, intensive case management, and a broad spectrum of therapeutic supports designed to meet unique needs in home, community, or temporary out-of-home settings.
CAMHD’s system of care is focused on evidence-based, family-centered approaches delivered across multiple levels of care, from crisis intervention and family therapy to residential treatment and transitional programs. With specialized case coordinators working alongside clinical psychologists and psychiatrists, CAMHD provides coordinated care to youth statewide, including those with special education qualifications or involvement in the juvenile justice system. This facility prioritizes fostering stability, healing, and growth within a supportive, community-oriented environment.
After having so much trouble finding someone on island who fit my needs, I was very lucky to have met Dr. Bradley Kuo! I have been seeing him for over a year now, as well as Kimberly Lese. They are seriously amazing. I prefer messaging to communicate, and through their messaging app, everyone who works the front desk is able to respond so quickly which is very helpful for me. I will definitely be staying with them as long as I’m on Oahu.

Dr. Tran has been an incredible therapist that I can trust to be there for my best interest and supply me with the tools that I need to succeed through my healing process. She has gone above and beyond anyone else that I’ve seen in making sure that I feel okay and empowered to speak my truth. Therapists in the past have made me feel like sessions are mostly about transaction, Dr. Tran has made it clear that my mental health and well being are her priority. Also, having sessions via tele health is so convenient with my busy schedule. Very well educated, kind and compassionate, thank you Dr. Tran!
He is the best. He doesn't just give you the name of the disease or the diagnosis category. He doesn't talk about problems that he can't provide a solution to, and he gives you a report on the results of the test results in terms of scores (numbers).
