Revolutionizing mental health in Hawai’i by empowering youth to elevate their voice, own their power, and redefine success through self-discovery.
What is Spill The Tea Cafe?
Spill The Tea Cafe is Hawaiʻi’s only teen-focused mental health clinic, where trauma-informed therapy meets youth-led peer support in a welcoming “cafe” atmosphere. We combine evidence-based practices (including Ho‘oponopono and culturally grounded approaches) with licensed clinicians to help each young person build resilience, explore identity, and set personal goals. Whether your keiki is navigating anxiety, depression, or family stress, we offer flexible, insurance-covered sessions and community workshops designed just for them.
The goal of STTC is to promote the mental health and well-being of adolescents by providing accessible, compassionate, and personalized care.
What We Offer:
Our goal is to promote the mental health and well-being of adolescents and to help our keiki thrive through accessible, compassionate, and personalized care:
-
We offer one-on-one sessions which foster a private, confidential environment where clients can openly discuss their thoughts and feelings.
-
Group therapy sessions provide a sense of community, opportunities for learning, and allow participants to connect to others' perspectives and coping strategies.
-
Family therapy is a form of counselling aimed at improving communication and resolving conflicts within a family. The goal is to create a healthier, more supportive family environment by fostering better relationships and understanding.
-
Our coordinators manage the details like insurance approvals, appointment setups, and paperwork, so families can focus on healing. We link teens with the right therapists, school supports, workshops, and local services, stepping in to resolve delays or coverage gaps. With proactive advocacy and clear, personalized guidance, we make sure every family navigates the mental health system with confidence and ease.
-
In-person or virtual sessions, sliding-scale fees, scholarships, and most insurances accepted.
-
Social events provide opportunities for youth to connect with their peers, find community, and generally have fun. Events range from smaller activities like karaoke nights to larger events like our youth pride fest.

OUR VISION
“I wish I had this place when I was growing up.”
We hear this all too often, and it inspires us every day to act with HOPE and OPTIMISM in facing this crisis. Hawaiʻi has so much to offer, but healing must begin with our keiki, our ʻohana, and our communities.
