Malgorzata Krepps

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“Therapy is a partnership: together we set goals, practice skills, and work toward a more fulfilling life. I integrate cognitive‑behavioral, relational, solution‑focused, and person‑centered approaches—rooted in the belief that many challenges stem from how we think about ourselves and the world.”

About Me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. I provide psychodiagnostic assessment and therapy for anxiety, mood disorders, personality difficulties, and suicide bereavement or crisis.

Approach

I help you translate difficult thoughts and feelings into manageable, measurable steps so change feels attainable rather than overwhelming. Sessions in Kailua Kona or via secure telehealth move at a steady, collaborative pace that balances careful assessment with skill practice and emotional processing. Assessment informs tailored experiments—brief exposures, targeted cognitive work, and relational reflections—so progress is tracked and adjusted between appointments. Adults coping with anxiety, mood shifts, compulsions, personality strain, or bereavement often find this practical, compassionate approach helpful.
