Healing root causes for lasting change and wellbeing

Trauma therapy, individual psychotherapy, and couples counselling

In Aurora, Bolton, and online across Ontario and Nova Scotia

After more than 30 years as a therapist, one thing I've consistently seen is that insight alone is often not enough for lasting change. Many people already understand why they react the way they do, yet their survival system continues to respond as though the past is still happening. Often, this shows up in statements like, “Even though I know this logically, I still feel this way,” or “I know better, but I still act like this.”

Therapy can help create change at these deeper emotional, relational, and physiological levels.​​

How we can help

Individual Therapy for Adults

Support for stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck

Couples Counselling

Move beyond repeated conflict and reconnect in your relationship

Therapy for Preteens and Teens

Support for preteens and teens (ages 10+) experiencing anxiety,  overwhelm, relationship challenges, trauma, neurodivergence, and identity-related  concerns

A deeper approach to healing

Our approach to therapy goes beyond managing symptoms. We work with the emotional, relational, and nervous-system patterns that can continue to shape how you feel and respond, even when you understand them logically and have worked hard to change.

Drawing from trauma-informed and neuroscience-informed therapies, including DBR, EMDR, and IFS,  we help clients work with the deeper processes underlying difficulties such as anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, emotional overwhelm, and feeling stuck.

 

The goal isn't simply to cope better. It's to help create meaningful change in the patterns that keep bringing you back to the same place.

A grounded, relational approach to therapy

Therapy is more than the method being used. Feeling understood, respected, and safe enough to work at your pace matters too.

Our therapists bring warm, curiosity, and clinical experience to the work, adapting therapy to the person rather than expecting the person to fit a particular model 

At Dr. Karma Guindon, RSW & Associates, we offer trauma-informed psychotherapy grounded in relational and neuroscience-informed care.

What brings people to therapy?

People come to use for many different reasons including:

Anxiety and chronic stress • Trauma and painful past experiences • Depression and low mood • Relationship difficulties • Emotional overwhelm • Patterns that keep repeating • Feeling disconnected or stuck
