Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Hawaii covered by Aetna

Aloha and welcome! Do you feel like you’re constantly carrying the weight of your past, or perhaps you’re struggling to navigate a difficult life transition? It can be exhausting to feel "stuck" in cycles of anxiety or trauma. I believe that you deserve a space where you feel truly seen and heard. Together, we will work to peel back the layers of these challenges, helping you find clarity and relief. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner strength so you can move forward with a sense of peace and purpose. You don't have to carry this alone anymore.

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.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and finding the right therapist matters. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

Aloha! I am dually licensed as a marriage and family therapist and a mental healthy counselor in the state of Hawaii. I have been in practice for over two decades with experience, in the private sector as well as with active duty and retired military members and their families. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth. My professional background focuses on helping clients address addiction, family dynamics, parenting struggles, and emotional resilience. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy, creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for positive change. My work is deeply rooted in understanding the unique story of each person, with a particular sensitivity to the needs of older adults seeking support. I am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based guidance that empowers clients to build stronger relationships, overcome personal obstacles, and cultivate greater emotional well-being. I do not judge, nor do I advise, I am eager to support you in your journey to fid you. Mahalo.

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.

Client-focused, not one-size fits all. It's all about relationships. I'm here to listen and perhaps gently guide. I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and Gottman technique with couples.

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.
