Chaminade University of Honolulu
Dr. Maurice “Dre” Andrea, DMFT, LMFT, is the founder of Unify Therapy in Ewa Beach, O‘ahu. A U.S. Navy veteran, he brings firsthand insight into the unique stressors faced by service members and their families. He earned his M.S. in Marriage and Family Counseling from Chaminade University in 2019 and completed the university’s Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy program in 2025. His dissertation, Interracial Relationships in Hawai‘i: The Lived Experiences of Couples with One African American Partner, highlights his commitment to culturally responsive, justice-oriented care.
Dr. Andrea’s clinical passion lies in couples therapy, where he helps partners reconnect, navigate intimacy challenges, and transform conflict. He blends Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and sex therapy principles to address trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, intimacy concerns, and adjustment issues, especially among military and veteran populations. His systemic approach helps clients understand how family patterns and cultural identities shape their relationships.
With warmth, humility, and humor, Dr. Andrea supports adolescents, couples, and families through life’s challenges. He believes therapy should honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Beyond therapy, he mentors clinicians, hosts mental health podcasts, and explores Hawai‘i’s landscapes. He offers in-person and telehealth services statewide.
