Justin Salandanan has been in the field of psychiatry for over a decade and has been treating adult clients of various ethnic backgrounds for several years. Justin specializes in the medication management of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a graduate of Frontier Nursing University, with over 11 years of nursing experience and one year of advanced clinical training across outpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, inpatient detoxification, skilled nursing facilities, and telehealth. I provide evidence-based psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar and mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, substance use disorders, and psychotic disorders, including complex and co-occurring presentations. My clinical background includes crisis intervention, suicide risk assessment, stabilization, and long-term outpatient care focused on functional improvement and sustained recovery.
My approach to mental health care centers entirely around you. True healing happens when trust, safety, and collaboration come together. Whether you are navigating severe depression, managing long-term anxiety, or recovering from trauma, my goal is to provide a premium, supportive environment where you feel heard and empowered to reclaim a stable, fulfilling life.
As a board-certified adult psychiatrist, I bring unique depth to my clinical practice. I earned both my MD and PhD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, grounding my approach to medication management in advanced scientific research and evidence-based medicine.
My leadership and clinical training within the University of Texas Health System—including roles as Chief Resident, Assistant Medical Director, and Assistant Professor—deeply shaped my view of mental health. Having cared for individuals across institutions like MD Anderson, Memorial Hermann, the Dunn Behavioral Sciences Center, and Maui Memorial Medical Center, I possess the outpatient and inpatient expertise required to manage complex clinical cases with complete confidence.
I provide convenient, high-quality telepsychiatry and virtual care for adults (ages 18 and older) actively located in Texas, California, Hawaii, and Alaska.
Primary Clinical Focus Areas:
- Mood Disorders: Advanced care for major depression, treatment-resistant depression, and bipolar disorder.
- Anxiety & Stress: Targeted strategies for generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and high-stress professional burnout.
- Trauma: Compassionate, evidence-based recovery and support for PTSD.
Above all, I believe in partnering with you as a collaborative ally. My practice is a safe, sophisticated space where clinical excellence is a given, and we work together to help you rediscover hope and transformation.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Hawaii
Finding the right psychiatrist in Hawaii starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and support medication management. Therapists focus on talk therapy, and both can be helpful entry points depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or other Hawaii mental health concerns, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical focus, and approach before booking.
Mental health in Hawaii can look different across Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, and more rural parts of the islands. Local in-person availability may vary by area, while virtual appointments can expand your options across the state. Psychiatric care also often follows a different schedule than therapy. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people also work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists in Hawaii, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and what their profile says about their communication style and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Hawaii can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify coverage, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready. You can verify whether a specific provider is in-network with your plan before booking.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
