Darryl Khan, LMHC

Darryl Khan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Hawaii with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, addiction, and other life changes. Darryl also supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, work and career issues, and challenges linked to attention differences and mood disorders.

He uses clear, action-oriented methods in sessions. Clients spend time identifying patterns that keep them stuck and learning practical skills to change those patterns. He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Across his career Darryl has worked with people who have been involved with systems like child welfare, family court, and public safety departments. That background shapes how he talks through practical problems and paperwork, and how he plans realistic steps forward with clients.

Sessions focus on concrete goals such as managing intense emotions, improving communication, setting boundaries, and reducing substance-related harms. He also helps people address codependency patterns like chronic people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self in relationships.

Darryl trained at Gonzaga University where he earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 2003. He continues to use evidence-informed approaches to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines after disruption.
