Kesha Diodato , LCSW

Kesha Diodato is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Hawaii with more than twenty years of professional experience. She works with adults facing a range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress related to military deployment or abuse, and other significant life transitions. Diodato draws on evidence-based methods to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors while building practical skills for managing emotions and relationships.

Her clinical approach is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which focuses on thoughts and actions - and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - which emphasizes present-focused awareness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - along with trauma-focused techniques when addressing past harm. She has provided care to civilians, active-duty service members, and Veterans in outpatient and residential settings, and she also conducts therapy remotely through telehealth.

Kesha prioritizes meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively to reach their goals. She creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where people can explore their experiences and develop coping strategies that lead to more satisfying, resilient lives. Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and she offers steady support throughout that process.
