The short answer
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for licensed therapists in Hawaii to treat Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans by telehealth. You need an independent license in Hawaii, such as LMHC, LMFT, LCSW, or psychologist, and your clients must be located in Hawaii during sessions.
Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Hawaii?
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Hawaii. Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans there are looking for therapists who accept CHAMPVA and VA Community Care, and there aren't enough.
VA estimates about 105,848 Veterans live in Hawaii, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.
Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Hawaii?
The independent counselor license in Hawaii is the LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), issued by the Hawaii Mental Health Counselor Program, Professional and Vocational Licensing. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Hawaii also qualify, under the titles Hawaii uses.
For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Hawaii, you need a Hawaii license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?
Can you practice in Hawaii through a compact?
- Counseling Compact: Hawaii isn't a member as of October 2026, so counselors need a Hawaii license.
- PSYPACT: Hawaii isn't participating as of 2026, so psychologists need a Hawaii license.
- Social Work Licensure Compact: Hawaii wasn't listed as a member on the compact's jurisdiction page as of 2026.
Compact status changes often. See Counseling Compact, PSYPACT, and the Social Work Compact and the Counseling Compact map.
What VA care is available in Hawaii?
VA medical centers serving Hawaii include facilities in Honolulu (Spark M. Matsunaga VA Medical Center). Use VA's facility locator for clinics and Vet Centers near a client.
Hawaii is in Community Care Network Region 4, run by TriWest. VA has started moving to new network contracts, so regions and administrators may change. Hawaii has no full-service VA hospital. VA works with Tripler Army Medical Center for inpatient care, and Veterans on neighbor islands depend heavily on community care and telehealth.
