Hi, I’m Haunani Louis,
FNP-C, PMHNP-BC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
My approach to mental health care is grounded in something simple: people deserve to feel heard.
Over nearly two decades in healthcare, I’ve cared for patients across many stages of life—from children and adolescents to adults and families. Those experiences taught me that good psychiatric care isn’t just about identifying symptoms or choosing a medication. It’s about understanding the person, their story, their environment, and what matters to them.
I created Lauleʻa Behavioral Health to provide thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care in a setting where there is time to listen, collaborate, and develop a treatment plan that makes sense for you.

What makes this practice different
Time
Initial psychiatric evaluations allow dedicated time to understand your concerns, history, and goals, and follow-up visits are designed to feel thoughtful rather than rushed.
Continuity
You see me at every visit — not a rotating team.
Thoughtful Care
Treatment decisions are made collaboratively, with time to discuss options, questions, and what feels right for you.
Transparency
Insurance, fees, and treatment expectations are discussed clearly from the beginning.
