Where Insight Meets Action

Meet the Doc

Dr. Steven Hobaica is an openly queer, licensed clinical psychologist and researcher based in Honolulu, Hawai’i. His work bridges individual healing and systemic change, offering therapy, consultation, and training rooted in evidence-based practice, cultural humility, and deep respect for identity and the lived experience.

Steven specializes in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, sexual health, trauma, and complex mental health concerns. He draws from modalities like CBT, ACT, DBT, and MI, while always centering collaboration and trust.

Beyond therapy, Steven provides consultation on LGBTQ+ health, mental health equity, diversity, research, and trauma-informed care for organizations, researchers, providers, and systems of care. He is also actively engaged in research.

Whether you're navigating life transitions, burnout, relationships, or larger structural challenges, or you’re about to start your private practice, Steven offers space to reflect, reconnect, and move forward with clarity and compassion.

Gender Affirming Care Evaluations
