About
History
Dr. Kai has been providing outpatient behavioral health care services within a private practice model since 1988. In 1999, on a lovely Monday evening in San Diego, an 11 year old boy came into his office and exclaimed, “I sure love coming to see my Talk doctor!” When asked, he explained that this was what his mother called counselors – talk doctors.
When Dr. Kai was preparing to leave the U.S. mainland and move to the islands, many of his clients wanted to continue working with him by phone or e-mail.
So TalkDoctors, as a phone counseling and on-line consultation service, was born through the vision of opportunity and the inspiration of a child.
The original talkdoctors.com website went live on January 3, 2000, providing phone counseling and on-line advice.
TalkDoctors, LLC was launched on January 1, 2007 in Hawaii, and once again began incorporating face-to-face counseling into its repertoire of services.
