Client stories

Local clients who found their fit.

60+ local residents found their therapist through Breakthrough.

I wanted to try therapy for years but had no idea how to find the right person. Breakthrough matched me with someone I clicked with. I don’t think I would’ve taken that first step on my own.

ChristineOʻahuApr ’26

I was told I’d have to wait months for therapy, which just wasn’t realistic. Breakthrough found me someone with real availability who turned out to be a much better fit.

Why I built Breakthrough

When I finally found the strength to ask for help, I reached out to 20+ therapists. After more than a week, I got one reply.

I got lucky – that one turned out to be a great fit. Not everyone is as lucky. I built Breakthrough so no one in Hawaiʻi has to get lucky to find a therapist who fits.

Why I built Breakthrough

Finding the right therapist shouldn’t come down to luck.

Breakthrough started with my own search for a therapist in Hawaiʻi.

When I finally found the strength to ask for help, I reached out to 20+ therapists. After more than a week, I got one reply.

I got lucky – that one therapist turned out to be a great fit. Not everyone is as lucky.

Here, fit is local: family, culture, which island, even what high school you went to. A national directory misses all of it.

I built Breakthrough so no one in Hawaiʻi has to get lucky to find a therapist who fits.

I built Breakthrough because people in Hawaiʻi deserve a better way to find care – and a better way to find a therapist who truly fits them.
