Hey there!
My name is Kihei Comerci (she/her), and I am a proud Native Hawaiian Social Worker and 500Hr. yoga instructor dedicated to collective healing, somatic freedom, and liberation of mind and spirit from destructive, outdated structures. My mission is to assist folks in curating lives and relationships they are excited to show up in, with confidence and ease.
I received my BA from Duquesne University and my LSW with a certificate in Direct Practice, Mental Health from the University of Pittsburgh. As a therapist, I maintain the belief of Lawa Kūpono ‘oe– meaning that you are enough, despite systems of oppression that wish to convince you otherwise. I call in a variety of therapeutic modalities to help assist in your healing journey such as CBT, ACT, attachment theory, integrative somatic trauma therapy and yoga therapy. I am partially trained in EMDR (fully trained by Nov. ‘24) and am able to offer these services under direct supervision by an EMDRIA registered therapist.
We will work collaboratively to shape treatment to embody that which best suits your needs.
I specialize in working with folks who experience generalized anxiety, depression, trauma, and postpartum depression. I’m excited and see it a privilege to work alongside you on your unique path to healing.
Beyond the therapy room, you can find me leading yoga classes here in Pittsburgh, diving deeper into Somatic Abolitionism, and running around town with my pup!
