Our Story

Dr. Bale and Dr. Thomas, co-owners of Sakura Center for Psychological Assessment and Therapy, turned a shared dream into reality by establishing a center dedicated to serving the individuals and families of Hawaii. With years of education and experience behind us, we envisioned a place offering comprehensive psychological services tailored to the needs of our community.

Our specialization includes psychological and neuropsychological assessments and therapy for ADHD, learning disabilities, Autism Spectrum disorders, and emotional and behavioral concerns. We strive to ensure that everyone who visits Sakura Center feels welcomed and confident that they have found the right place for support.

Looking ahead, our goal is to expand our services through a multidisciplinary team of health professionals, further enriching the care we provide to our community. We are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve, one family at a time.
