More about Darryl

  • 20 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMHC

Aloha and welcome on your journey to wellness. My name is Darryl Khan, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Hawaii. I have been practicing as a mental health counselor for over 19 years. In 2003 I obtained my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University and since then I have served local populations experiencing challenges including chronic mental illnesses, romantic relationship and family dysfunction, and substance use disorders. My areas of specialty include treatment of depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and abuse.

During my career, I have worked with and understand the challenges of individuals involved with institutions such as Child Welfare Services, Family Courts, and the Public Safety Department. I have also empowered individuals using cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy to restore mental health, recover from addiction and improve their quality of life.

I am formally trained in cognitive behavioral therapy using the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) and I am also formally trained to provide dialectical behavior therapy. My counseling style is interactive, culturally sensitive, and compassionate. I welcome the opportunity to know, journey and work with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed June 2024

I am very pleasantly surprised by my first BetterHelp experience. I was in a funk with some life situations that were temporary, but having a pretty significant effect on my mood and energy. Darryl was professional and effective in terms of being a listener and showing his expert experience. His presence, support and ideas and the way he treats me with respect and kindness, but still is firmly guiding me when I need it has made an immediate impact even after the first session. I’m loving the way he and I are already partnering for my better health, physically and emotionally! Thank you so much BetterHelp and Darryl for providing the amazing opportunity to meet by video and to have the support of all the app functions. Love it!

I feel so blessed to be working with Darryl. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and considerate. I’m learning so much from him and growing with each session. He is helping me through the most challenging season of my life, including the loss of my father, a divorce, custody dispute, and legal battles. I would certainly recommend him to those seeking good council and thoughtful treatment. He is also well-equipped to provide spiritual guidance.

Reviewed November 2023

I was incredibly against the idea of therapy and drug my feet on starting it for so long. I finally got myself to try it out because I was looking for help working through something that came up in life and I also just always strive to be a better person and Daryl has given me multiple ways to think about things and work through life and problems that have been so incredibly useful. His calm demeanor and friendly way of communicating really makes me feel comfortable talking about life.
