Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Hawaii

Welcome — I'm so glad you're here. I'm David Guo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) serving clients throughout Honolulu and across all of Hawaii via secure telehealth. Whether you're in Downtown Honolulu or on Maui, Molokai, Kauai, or the Big Island, I'm here to support you. I believe real healing starts with real connection. That means taking time to truly know you — your story, your life, your goals — so you never feel like just a chart. You won't feel rushed here. I'm available weekdays (evenings too) and weekends.

I offer counseling that empowers you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and strength. You can access professional support wherever you are, without the need to travel or disrupt your busy schedule.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or just need someone to talk to? You've come to the right place. Throughout our lifetime, we are faced with many challenges, barriers, and successes that can all have their own level of overwhelmingness and joy. Whatever you are going through, let's work through it together.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with the whole system -- the relationships -- both INTRApersonal and INTERpersonal relationships. I support individuals with their own internal landscape as well as their way of connecting and relating with others. I was trained as a Deaf Educator and can support people with various learning styles and needs. I also work with mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, and Reiki to bring in a holistic approach to mental health.

I am a board certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with 3 years of independent practice and over a decade in the healthcare field. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, and sleep disorders.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm glad you're here. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping adults and teens navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, life transitions, and chronic stress. I believe healing happens when we care for the whole person, not just the symptoms. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and, most importantly, empowered to create meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience in outpatient behavioral health and healthcare leadership in Hawaiʻi. I work with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem or emotional well-being.

I believe people are capable of growth and resilience, even during difficult periods of life. My goal is to help clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward lives that feel more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with their values.
