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.

Support for preteens and teens (ages 10+) experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, relationship challenges, trauma, neurodivergence, and identity-related struggles through a calm, trauma-informed approach to therapy.
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, 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
At Dr. Karma Guindon, RSW & Associates, we offer trauma-informed psychotherapy grounded in relational and neuroscience-informed care.
Our approach 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 already worked hard to make changes.
What trauma-informed psychotherapy can help with
Trauma-informed psychotherapy can help with anxiety, depression, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, trauma symptoms, and patterns that feel difficult to change.
Rather than focusing only on symptom management, trauma-informed therapy explores how past experiences, nervous system responses, and relational patterns may continue to affect emotional wellbeing, relationships, and daily life.
