About Nova Luna Center
Nova Luna Center is a mental health day treatment program that empowers people to be their own guides and healers through a process of self-discovery as they address their depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and other more serious emotional issues and behaviors.
Nova Luna Center is the first health care facility of its kind for the treatment of eating disorders* in the Hawaiian Islands. Our mission is to facilitate full recovery from disordered eating by empowering people to be their own guides and healers through a process of self-discovery. Our facility is nestled in the slopes of Haleakala, providing a peaceful place where clients can do their deepest work.
Because of their complexity, eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and exercise addiction require a comprehensive treatment plan involving a combination of psychosocial interventions, mental health support, and nutritional counseling, which we deliver within a day treatment model. We find the day treatment model to be effective because it allows for flexibility during long-term care, but is still comprehensive enough for the clients that require a higher level of supervision. As a day treatment center, our clients can begin their journey to recovery while still having a job, going to school, and living in the comfort of their own home.
In our experience people who develop eating disorders are highly intuitive, sensitive, and strong individuals who have the capacity to fully recover. We hold the hope that each of our clients will emerge from their disordered eating with a sense of balance and inspiration. We invite our clients to develop their inherent wisdom and gifts, and encourage them to express themselves within our program. As a result, their story becomes part of the collective process of healing within our compassionate community. We call this The Nova Luna Process.
*since 2019, Nova Luna Center has expanded its program to also treat clients for mood disorders who do not have an eating disorder diagnosis.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Outpatient Treatments
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
