I found working with Darryl to be a very constructive experience. He is thoughtful, listens and shows understanding, and offers constructive suggestions. Both when struggling in general with depression, as well as specific challenges, he was a helpful listening ear and guide when I needed it. My sessions with him helped me understand myself better, weather some tough times, and build skills to cope with challenges more successfully going forward.

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.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Darryl is the best! He has helped me in so many ways!
He is a good guy. I believe that he has my best intentions at heart
Wonderful therapist! Very understanding, open and flexible to clients needs. I’ve had great discussions and gotten very helpful feedback just in a few sessions. I will definitely continue with Dr. Khan and recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, passionate professional!
Wellbeing and sense safety restored, I’m on my path to discover myself. I came with limited beliefs on the process because I never been in a therapy and never knew the benefits that’s stand on the trust and guidance of a great therapist- good listener is an understatement for Darryl
He helps me get equipped with the tools I need to succeed and be the best version of myself for my family. I couldn’t be more satisfied and grateful
Super guy looking forward to more sessions
An absolute incredible person! I cannot say enough good things about Darryl!
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.
Darryl is insightful and his approach helps me build skills that I can apply as needed. He is very personable and professional.
Dr. Khan was a perfect match for me. I am learning a lot.
Dr. Khan is excellent.

Darryl is a fantastic counselor and I would recommend him to anyone in need of some help
Very open kind and caring
Very kind and engaging. He helps me with real actions that can improve my mental health. He's very likable too.
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.
Darryl has the ability to discern my conflicts in terms of relationships, personal development, and career goals ; he's able to break things down in a sense where I can understand and approach my struggles: differently, efficiently, and effectively. I am very privileged to have him as my therapist.
Sessions with Darryl are a gift. He is wise, thoughtful and present - without ever feeling cold or clinical. Very grateful!
Nice friendly and clear.. just started couple weeks ago but it's been good
Darryl has become a friend to me rather than just a therapist because I can directly relate to him and we can exchange knowledge and thoughts freely without any doubt of feeling unsafe. He is respectful, and most importantly he is there to listen and sometimes that’s just what we all need
Darryl is a blessing to me and my family. He has listened to me and allowed me to be able to communicate better with my family about myself. He has given me solid skills for the future. Thank you Darryl!
Darryl is kind,thoughtful yet practical and professional . Also a great sense of humor, I'd highly recommend him. Aloha Pia Abraham
Meeting Darryl has been such a good experience for me. He has really helped get me on a healthy routine to better my life.
I have done therapy for many years and been through many therapists. Doctor Khan has far exceeded all expectations and really transformed my life for the better. I honestly will not be able to see any other therapist now after my visits with Doctor Khan because he is that amazing. Hands down 10/10 recommend!
Darryl is caring and sincere man of faith. He is encouraging and hopeful. Very satisfied with the experience overall.
Darryl Khan, is a great listener and also gives sincere feedback on suggestions on ways matters might be resolved. I would recommend him to my colleagues in hopes they become a better version of themselves.
Darryl knows how to relate and communicate in an optimistic, respectful manner. After each session, I feel uplifted and his breathing techniques for my anxiety works well. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Thank you.
Darryl is a wonderful man and I appreciate all of his time and efforts. He lends a kind ear and has great philosophy on self improvement.
Dr. Khan has been great!
Darryl was very attentive and approachable as a therapist. He was able to be flexible and adjust to what I wanted to address during each session, and empowered me to take the lead about what I wanted to talk about. He gave very grounded advice and perspectives regarding the issues I was facing. Would definitely recommend Darryl to others.
Darryl Khan was a pleasure to work with. I only had two sessions with him and had to change because I was moving but I would have stayed with him if I could. Very good at communicating, giving you actionable advice, and giving you perspectives that you will ponder through the week.
Darryl is a great therapist. He is patient and supportive, as well as a great listener. His counsel has truly been transformative for me.
A being of light who allows himself to receive as well as gives.
Darryl has been an upwelling source of encouragement, deep connectedness to the Oneness, an encourager and witness to the transformation of my inner and outer world. I can not recommend him enough to my fellow life travelers. Thank you Darryl.
