Duane Barone
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 30 years of experience in the human services and mental health fields. He now lives on Oahu after living most of his life in Colorado. I have experience with adults, teens, and couples to improve their interpersonal relationships and create balance and stability. I can also work with teams corporate and industrial teams to increase emotional intelligence, cohesion & performance, and safety. I obtained his BSc of Psychology from Texas A&M University (’87) then obtained my Master of Clinical Psychology (’03) after working for a decade with adults with intellectual disabilities and adults with chronic mental illness. I continued his post-graduate studies through Capella University to help build knowledge and perspectives for his work in private practice where he specialized in rehabilitative counseling with court ordered clients dealing with family violence issues. I currently work full time as a contractor for the Departments of the Navy and Air Force at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. Prior to this amazing opportunity, I owned Caledonia Counseling (2005-2022), based in the Denver area, after completing his graduate school and offered contract services to other agencies and community mental health providers. My practice focused on rehabilitative counseling with court-ordered clients trying to break the cycle of violence in the relationships and families.
It is my mission in life to help make the world a more peaceful and safer place. On Valentine’s Day 2018, I founded a 501c3 nonprofit organization, STudents & Athletes for Healthy RelationshipS to make schools safer from teen dating violence, sexual assaults, and bullying. STAHRS.org is the mechanism he uses to reach high school and college students to help them to understand and develop healthy relationships while recognizing and avoiding abusive relationship patterns. I believe that “playing” is critical for stress management and he loves water, frozen or liquid. He loves skiing, snorkeling and scuba diving, sailing, and fishing as well as golf, camping, cooking, and travel.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place.
If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction.
I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Life has a way of shaping us through both beauty and heartbreak. I deeply understand anger, anxiety, and existential dilemmas. My own journey has been one of profound feeling, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to growth.
Growth begins when we are willing to meet ourselves with honesty, curiosity, and care. For two decades I cultivated knowledge and skills to help others move through intense emotional pain, life transitions, and spiritual questions with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose. I faced seasons that tested everything I thought I knew. Healing from a narcissistic relationship, navigating a challenging postpartum year, grieving the loss of my mother, and embracing unexpected identity changes~ this all became part of my awakening. These experiences- combined with years of dedicated study and personal reflection- have deepened my compassion and understanding of the healing process. My work honors both the unique human spirit and the sacredness woven into everyday life.
Today, as a Master of Divinity and Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, I help people reconnect with their true selves, cultivate emotional healing, and explore a deeper relationship with the Divine. My work is grounded in authenticity, empathy, and meaningful transformation.
The values guiding my life are integrity, compassion, and wholehearted depth. I'd love to learn what values are leading you on your journey today.

I have traversed many pathways of light and dark myself, so will meet you right where you are, and help find your way back to wholeness.
