Mental Health Services
These services are to help individuals and children with emotional and behavioral impairments achieve optimal functioning in their schools, homes and community.
Aloha House’s goal is to help people live healthy, happy lives. We have therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and other professionals who can help people deal with issues related to family, work, relationships, depression, anxiety, and other concerns.
Services are available in the home, the community and in our offices. Some people only need short-term counseling, while others need to see someone for a longer period of time.
