Mental Health Practice – North Shore Mental Health
North Shore Mental Health (NSMH) is a community-based behavioral health organization serving families on O’ahu, Hawaii, for over twenty years. The practice is directed by Dr. Dan Kehoe and operates convenient offices in Aiea, Honolulu, Kahuku, Kaneohe, Waianae/Makaha, Sunset Beach, and Wahiawa, providing broad geographic coverage across the island.
The organization employs licensed community-based mental and behavioral health professionals who deliver individual and family counseling, psychotherapy, community-based case management (CBCM), psychiatric support, personal assistance, and skills trainer PAB (Psychosocial Alternative and Alternative) work. Outpatient substance abuse treatment and supportive services are also part of the practice’s clinical offerings, with care provided through a multicultural-sensitive behavioral health framework.
Face-to-face mental health crisis support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, reflecting the organization’s commitment to acute care access for the communities it serves.
In 2024, NSMH established the Le’ahi Medical and Behavioral Health Respite Center, a twenty-bed facility serving chronically homeless citizens in Hawaii. Directed by Kama Tam, LMFT, CSAC, the center provides medical and behavioral treatment integrated with housing placement services, substance use disorder therapy, and vocational employment support.
The organization collaborates with multiple Hawaii state agencies, including the Department of Health’s divisions covering Child and Adolescent Mental Health, Adult Mental Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse, and Developmental Disability. Additional partnerships include the Department of Education, Department of Human Services, and Ohana WellCare Medical Insurance.
