Learn With Love: Haylin & Mat

Written By Spill The Tea Cafe .

Meet Haylin and Mat in our latest episode of Learn With Love, a collection of real stories of LGBTQ+ young people and their families. This episode explores the story of a mother and son living in Honolulu, Hawaii: Haylin, a marriage and family therapist, and Mat, her 17-year-old son. Raised in a conservative, religious household, Haylin shares her journey toward accepting, understanding, and supporting her son.

Spill The Tea Cafe is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth mental health clinic on Oʻahu — but it feels more like a community than a clinic.

We provide therapy, peer support, and wellness programs in a safe, welcoming space where teens can show up just as they are. Our care is trauma-informed, culturally rooted, and built on trust, healing, and real connection.
