Rose Evelyn Friedheim, PsyD, IMH-E

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Joined Waimānalo Health Center in 2025

I am grateful to be part of Waimānalo Health Center's integrative provider team, and I am deeply committed to supporting the holistic well-being of the patients we serve across the lifespan.
Within School-Based Health at Waimānalo Elementary & Intermediate School, I serve as an Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist supporting makua hāpai, keiki from infancy through adolescence, and their ‘ohana in all its forms.
As a Certified Somatic Ecotherapist, my work centers on strengthening relationships with oneself, fostering right relations with the ʻāina, and cultivating collective systems of care that promote long-term health and intergenerational well-being.
As a Maternal and Child Health Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) Fellow, I specialize in facilitating early access to mental health services for individuals with developmental and acquired disabilities and their 'ohana who are navigating complex support systems. I am committed to ensuring that our patients are empowered with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to thrive.
