Featured Speaker

Dr. Matthew S. Stanford, PhD
We are pleased to welcome back Matt to offer help and hope during this stressful time. A featured speaker at HIM’s 2019 Mental Health Conference, Matt was to return for the HIM 2020 Conference this March until COVID-19 canceled everything. Little did we know that we would need Matt’s help now even more to cope with the mental upheaval of the pandemic and the ensuing disruption around race and human dignity in our cities and communities.

Matt will speak with us by video feed from Houston, TX, where he is CEO of the Hope and Healing Center & Institute and adjunct professor of psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine and the Houston Methodist Hospital Institute for Academic Medicine. He has authored 3 books: Grace for the Afflicted: A Clinical and Biblical Perspective on Mental Illness; The Biology of Sin: Grace, Hope, and Healing for Those Who Feel Trapped; and Grace for the Children: Finding Hope in the Midst of Child and Adolescent Mental Illness. Learn more about Matt and his work here.

Michelle Fukumoto, Ph.D is a clinical psychologist on Oahu. Many of her clients are from the island’s faith community. She prays and dialogues with them in hopes that they would receive God’s restoration and healing through psychodynamic therapy and integrative, mind-body-spirit, cognitive behavioral therapy (including centering prayer, Lectio Divina, use of scripture, and faith-based guided imagery). Her interests revolve around integration that links spirituality and emotions with neurological and peripheral physiology. She strives to help her clients to reflect deeply on their rich, diverse personhood in relation to God, and how it plays a significant role in their community. She also enjoys discussing creative treatment goals that are sensitive to each person's culture and diverse background. Her main prayer is that she could be a part of her clients’ support in soul care.

Michelle Fukumoto, PhD

He also has strong interests in mood and anxiety disorders, couples/marital therapy, interpersonal communication, and stress and anger management.  As a Christian and as a clinical psychologist, he is passionate about seeing people grow in healing and freedom through encounters with truth and grace.  Dr. Lim is the clinical director of Paradigm Hawaii Counseling in Kailua, where he also practices.  He and his wife Keri are the proud parents of four wonderful children and attend Harbor Church Honolulu.
