Rooted in this island since 2013
Dr. Val J. Umphress was licensed as a psychologist in 1997 and practiced at Pali Momi and independently before founding Oahu Psychological Services in 2013.
A former university instructor, he built the practice to meet the needs of the local community and to help new clinicians gain experience as they start their careers. Today our team of licensed behavioral health specialists serves individuals and works alongside hospitals and medical providers across Oʻahu.
Whatever the approach, every treatment rests on respect for the individual and a strong relationship between client and clinician.
