We speak with Dr. Ezra Lockhart, a distinguished Associate Professor of Marriage and Family Therapy and founder of Easy Does It Counseling. As a Native Hawaiian, Dr. Lockhart challenges the conventional view of telehealth as "placeless" by introducing powerful indigenous land-based frameworks and practices. He shares how Hawaiian culture's reverence for ʻĀina as a sacred, relational entity can transform therapy, fostering continuous healing and profound meaning in virtual sessions.
