Dr. Christine Izquierdo
Licensed Psychologist
Owner & Lead Therapist
I am the Owner and Lead Psychologist of Straight Up Treatment. I have worked in private practice for almost 10 years, specializing in helping individuals with OCD and chronic anxiety. Prior to starting Straight Up Treatment, I trained and worked as an integrative health psychologist helping individuals manage and heal a wide range of stress and anxiety-impacted health conditions like chronic illness and migraines, physical pain conditions, insomnia, autoimmune diseases, and digestive/GI issues.
Straight Up’s integrative therapy approach to helping individuals with stress and anxiety-related challenges is much informed by my experience in not only healing the mind but also the body and spirit. All of which are interrelated and need to work in harmony and balance with one another in order for us to feel and “be well.”

Caroline Segalla
Client Coordinator
Aloha! I am the Client Coordinator at Straight Up Treatment. I assist new clients in finding the best therapeutic match with one of our specialized staff, based on each client’s unique and individual needs. I also help all Straight Up clients with any scheduling, billing, or insurance related support.
In addition to my work at Straight Up, I am a full-time mom and also work as an assistant for a non-profit health organization. I stay busy!
In my personal life, I enjoy hanging out at the beach and soaking up the beautiful wonders of Hawaii, which is where I live currently. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so I am very familiar with LA life, culture, and the stress of living in a big city. I am glad to share some of the Aloha spirit with everyone back on the mainland and appreciate being a part of the journey in helping people find the right support to have more peace and ease in their lives.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know how I can support you!
E hele me ka pu’olo….
