Aloha, I’m Jennifer Cornwell, LMFT, CSAC, SAP

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, and the founder of Lōkahi Counseling Center, established in 2020 to meet the unique needs of individuals and families across Hawaiʻi.

I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Oʻahu, where my deep appreciation for people, culture, and connection began. As a young girl, I was naturally curious—I loved to explore, ask questions, and understand the world around me. That curiosity led me on many adventures, and those experiences continue to shape who I am today—both personally and professionally.

It is this same curiosity that guides my work as a therapist. I believe that every individual and family has a unique story, shaped by their experiences, relationships, and environment. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore, understand, and reconnect with their story in a meaningful and empowering way.

🌿 My Approach to Therapy

At Lōkahi Counseling Center, our work is grounded in a family systems perspective, recognizing that individuals are deeply connected to their relationships, culture, and environment.

I utilize a range of family systems and evidence-based therapies, tailoring treatment to meet the specific needs of each client, couple, or family. My approach is culturally grounded, trauma-informed, and individualized, ensuring that care is both effective and relevant.

Therapeutic approaches I integrate include:

• Family Systems Therapy (MFT lens)

• Structural Family Therapy

• Narrative Therapy

• Solution-Focused Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

• Play Therapy

• Psychoeducational and skills-based interventions

• Substance Abuse counseling and assessments 

I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all—it should reflect the unique needs, strengths, and goals of each individual and family.

🌺 Supporting Hawaiʻi’s Unique Families

Lōkahi Counseling Center was founded with the intention of serving Hawaiʻi’s diverse and unique families, including those navigating cultural identity, generational differences, and the complexities of life in our island communities.

Our work is rooted in the value of lōkahi—balance, unity, and harmony—supporting clients in strengthening relationships, building resilience, and creating meaningful change.

🌿 Supporting You Through Life’s Crossroads

Life often brings unexpected challenges, transitions, and moments where we feel stuck or uncertain. Whether you are navigating stress, trauma, relationship concerns, or personal growth, therapy can provide the space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with intention.

Like any journey, there are moments where having a trained, compassionate, and objective perspective can make all the difference.

At Lōkahi Counseling Center, I am here to walk alongside you—helping you build insight, develop tools, and create meaningful change in your life and relationships.
