Dr…read moreLum was very helpful in managing my daughter's behavior at the time.In my opinion and as a mom whose extremely picky about anything for any care my daughter gets is one of the best on the island. Why?Well,she is a LMFT(Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) who also has some education in Child Development. Secondly she connects with kids really well. She also has a history of dealing with kids in the DOE SPED which IMO makes her more than qualified to deal with the diverse population of special needs patients. She should've gone on to specialize in pediatrics specifically...Think she'd have phenomenal results with families and kids.Regardless she's always on time and her methods are CBT along with Positive Psychology. She uses several methods but is holistic in her approach treating the whole individual. One thing I will say and it's not really a negative thing but she doesn't treat kids with Autism.Still comes highly recommended.

Great quality of care and the staff is extremely supportive and friendly. Highly recommend them.read more

I just got out of the hospital and everything was in order. The caseworker had set me up with Aja…read more When I got out, I had an appointment and I saw her. In the first Zoom meeting, I kept telling her about what's going on with my family and how important it is and she said she can't help me regarding my child, but she can help me with just me. I kept telling her that something was going on with my child that made me feel a certain way so that I needed to talk about that. She kept saying that she cannot help my child and I understood that. Anyways, I told her that if she specializes in human trafficking and she's a Christian because that's the two things that I was shocked to see someone had a specialty in and that is what I needed help in. I believed this was set up and a blessing from above, from God himself because how easy is it to find Christian-based therapy with specific things you're going through? She just seemed very dismissive and she seemed like she didn't wanna see me and I just told her that I feel like this is a very important matter to me that I need to speak about it and then we eventually came to a mutual understanding about what I needed in therapy. In the second session, she said that I cannot see her anymore because I need to take medicine and I already have a therapist. I told her I don't have a therapist. Their office and the hospital just said that I have one, but that I don't. I'm not seeing one right now. I was seeing one from before but I am not seeing anyone but her. She said if I don't do the medicine (which the hospital didn't require) then they can't see me. I said fine I don't think we can do this then. So we mutually agreed to end services with one another. Then I decided to go to Linda. So I made an appointment with her. The day I got a phone call, I didn't respond because I was busy. They left me an email saying my appointment was canceled the day of and they sent me an email discharging me. I called the office and the girl said the manager said I am not a good fit so they will not be seeing me anymore. I asked to speak to the supervisor to get this right. She was listening to everything that I said I said I was gonna write a Yelp review. I said that I did the survey just so that they would have feedback to know what went on with me. To know that I wasn't satisfied, wasn't helped, didn't feel hurt, just got out of the hospital, I don't have a therapist now and now I have to look for one, and they just didn't help the way that I needed them to. They kicked me out two times. So I confirmed with the manager about her saying I am not a good fit and they won't be seeing me anymore. So I got an email that they discharged me and I just told them I don't trust them or feel comfortable doing any work with them or any services with them anymore. And it's there. I would not recommend anyone who just got out of the hospital who's kind of vulnerable and is trusting people to help them to just go here and expect them to actually help, as they treated me like easy throw away patient, with no compassion.

Public Review -- Wellness Partners Mental Health (Hawai'i)…read more (1 star) As a retired United States Navy Chief Petty Officer receiving treatment for a service-connected psychological injury, I cannot recommend Wellness Partners Mental Health (Hawai'i). While I encountered compassionate care at the clinical level, the experience was significantly compromised by administrative conduct that lacked professionalism, empathy, and trauma-informed awareness. Let me begin by acknowledging the one strength of this practice: my therapist, Aja Wallace, was respectful, grounded, and provided a calm and judgment-free environment. Although our sessions remained conversational and did not advance into deeper therapeutic modalities, her individual professionalism made a difference. She treated me with dignity and attentiveness. Her efforts are the sole reason this review includes even one star. However, my interaction with the administrative office was a very different experience. After missing two appointments--which were scheduled as part of my ongoing treatment for mental health conditions resulting directly from military service--I received a standardized, impersonal email from a staff member who identified themselves only as "Garnet." The email reminded me of the clinic's cancellation policy, stated that I could be charged a $50 no-show fee, and warned that I could be discharged from care entirely if a third appointment was missed. The wording was superficially polite, but the underlying message was bureaucratic and threatening. There was no inquiry into my health, no recognition of the nature of my condition, and no attempt to understand the reality that missing appointments is often a direct result of the very psychological conditions being treated. In short, the response failed to reflect even the most basic principles of trauma-informed, veteran-centered care. As someone who has been under psychiatric care since 1992, I am fully aware of scheduling policies and patient responsibilities. I do not take them lightly. However, I am not receiving elective or convenience-based services. I am seeking help for injuries incurred through my time in uniform--injuries tied to the long-term consequences of military service. When a clinic's administrative staff reduces that reality to a matter of metrics and policy enforcement, it signals a serious disconnect between clinical mission and operational execution. Moreover, it is unacceptable for any medical office holding sensitive personal and military-related health information to correspond with patients using only a first name, without professional title, credential, or accountability. Transparency is not optional in healthcare--especially when addressing veterans whose trust has been hard-earned and easily broken. This review is not written in anger but in disappointment. Disappointment that a facility offering mental health services does not distinguish between procedural enforcement and compassionate care. Disappointment that, despite all we now know about post-service mental health challenges, administrative practices still rely on cold, automated responses rather than personalized engagement. Disappointment that I, like many veterans, continue to experience institutional indifference in civilian care settings. Wellness Partners Mental Health must confront the contradiction of claiming to support veterans while using systems that penalize them for the symptoms of their injuries. No veteran should have to defend or explain their absence to administrative personnel. No trauma patient should be met with form-letter warnings instead of outreach rooted in care and concern. Until meaningful changes are made in how this organization communicates with and supports its patients--especially those receiving treatment for military-related psychological conditions--I cannot recommend them. I strongly urge any veteran considering this facility to carefully assess whether it truly understands the complex and often invisible wounds we carry. Respect is not found in fine print or fee reminders. It is found in how we are treated when we are struggling--and how we are supported when we reach out for help. Non Sibi Sed Patriae -- Not For Self, But For Country. David Leonard Vega Chief Petty Officer, United States Navy (Retired)

Prior to their 24/7 care, my friend fell 5 times over 6 weeks while in an assisted living facility. Adding the 1:1 caregivers kept him safe, he stopped falling, became happier, felt secure that he had assistance whenever he needed, improved his appetite and his overall outlook and I feel he survived longer as a result of the loving care provided by the HSC caregivers. Staff were excellent, always available via phone when needed and solved any issues quickly. I felt secure in knowing my friend was well taken care of. Mahalo HSC!

12/3/24 Response to Carolinda: Thank you, Carolinda, but we…read moreboth know this process was only expedited after nearly a year because I finally reached my breaking point. While I understand the need to frame your response in a certain way, I ask that you refrain from blaming insurance or others for the lack of professionalism and accountability shown throughout this process. Our issues could have been resolved much earlier, as was guaranteed by your office, and you would have one less negative review to address. Good luck to you and Speech Solutions moving forward. Original Review: I regret to say that I cannot recommend Speech Solutions to anyone seeking speech therapy services. My experience with this company has been nothing short of frustrating, and I have a long trail of emails--spanning nearly an entire year--documenting unresolved issues with various members of their staff. If you're interested, I'm happy to share the details privately. The ongoing lack of communication, the constant runaround, and the overall incompetence I've encountered highlight significant ethical and operational shortcomings at Speech Solutions. While I don't have the time or space here to list everything, suffice it to say that the challenges I've faced with this business have been extensive and exhausting. The only positive aspect of our experience was the brief interaction with a few speech therapists who worked with my son. Unfortunately, each of these therapists (and others) abruptly resigned, which speaks to the high turnover rate at this company. The inconsistency in care due to this turnover is concerning on its own, but the real issues stem from the lack of professionalism across the rest of the organization. From Tara in administration to Carolinda/"Trini" (CEO), Sharon (CFO), and the entire billing department, the service we've received has been disappointing, to say the least. We've been given the runaround for far too long. While I would love to walk away from this situation, we're still waiting on an updated invoice from our son's initial evaluation in 2023, which was billed incorrectly, and a refund that they are inexplicably withholding. At this point, I feel trapped and can only hope that future clients do not have to endure the same level of frustration that we have. To conclude, I'd like to highlight the ethical concerns around staff posting feedback about their own workplace. This creates a conflict of interest and opens the door to potential manipulation of reviews. I've noticed at least two five-star reviews that seem to come from familiar faces, Tara being one of them who has posted to both location Yelp pages and Google--just something to keep in mind. My best advice for anyone seeking speech therapy for themselves or a loved one: look for other options.

They backed down after we threatened to get a lawyer involved. Save yourself grief. Do not hire this company. The fact that they would consider NOT firing someone who purposefully put on a blindfold so she could sleep on duty speaks volumes.
