Great to meet you!

Aloha! I’m Samantha Fung, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times. As we move through different stages of life, we often find ourselves carrying the weight of past experiences, responsibilities, and emotional burdens while trying to move forward. Healing is possible, and it’s never too late for growth, renewal, and a fresh start! I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, career stress, life transitions, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues.

My approach to therapy

Aloha! I’m Samantha Fung, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times. As we move through different stages of life, we often find ourselves carrying the weight of past experiences, responsibilities, and emotional burdens while trying to move forward. Healing is possible, and it’s never too late for growth, renewal, and a fresh start! I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, career stress, life transitions, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues.

My collaborative, client-centered approach helps individuals build on their strengths and create meaningful change. I tailor therapy to each client's needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change in your life. Together, we will explore challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.
