About

A Kailua-Based
Psychologist .

I'm Dr. Becky Padua, a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Kailua, Hawaii. My work is built on the belief that healing happens in the context of a genuine human connection — one where you feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment.

I hold a Doctorate in Psychology (PsyD) and have spent my career supporting individuals through some of life's most difficult moments. Whether you're navigating anxiety, processing trauma, or simply looking for clarity, I'll meet you with warmth and clinical expertise.

Practicing in Kailua means something to me. This community — with its balance of island life and real-world pressures — shapes how I understand and approach mental health care.

Approach

How I Work .

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. My approach blends established methods with the flexibility to honor what works for you.

1

Connect

We start with a conversation — about what brings you in, what you're hoping for, and whether working together feels right. There's no rush, no performance. Just an honest exchange.

2

Understand

Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences shaping your current challenges. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed frameworks — whichever best serves your journey.

3

Grow

Healing is rarely linear, but it is possible. We'll build skills, shift perspectives, and develop a deeper relationship with yourself — one that supports you long after therapy ends.

Modalities I Draw From

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Psychodynamic Therapy Trauma-Informed Care Mindfulness-Based Approaches Acceptance & Commitment (ACT) Psychological Assessment
"The decision to seek therapy is itself an act of courage. In my practice, I honor that courage by creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are — and slowly, gently, become someone you're proud to know."
