Remmawii (Karuna) Kristjanson, LCSW, CSW

Remmawii (Karuna) Kristjanson brings over 30 years of clinical experience to her work as a holistic psychotherapist, blending traditional talk therapy with body-centered practices. She trained and lived across multiple countries, moving from India to Canada - including Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Saskatoon - before settling in the United States, which contributes to a deep awareness of cross-cultural perspectives and sensitivity to diverse life experiences.

Her practice integrates somatic techniques alongside evidence-based therapeutic approaches. As a certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher and a Reiki Master, she uses breathwork, yoga, guided meditation, mindfulness, art, and journaling to help calm the nervous system and ease stored tension. These body-focused methods are offered alongside clinical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT, and Existential Therapy to address emotional and behavioral concerns.

Remmawii specializes in supporting people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. She also works with issues related to abandonment and attachment, body image, communication and control difficulties, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexuality, women’s concerns, and workplace stress. Her aim is to assist individuals in reconnecting with themselves and their families while exploring spiritual dimensions of recovery when relevant.

Holding the credentials LCSW and CSW, Remmawii is a licensed clinical social worker and a certified social worker who emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every therapeutic relationship. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs of each person, supporting the courageous first step toward greater fulfillment and well-being.
