Cael

Hello, I’m Cael. 🍃 I’m a psychologist who supports individuals, couples, and gamers in moving towards greater self-congruence and psychological flexibility. I'm also a listening ear, inviting you to come as you are and to bring whatever feels important. We’ll make sense of what you’re experiencing together — at a pace that works for you. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Ateneo de Manila University (2025). I've also completed various forms of training, courses, and workshops, that integrate into my style of evidence-based and person-centered therapy. I mostly work with adolescents, young to middle-aged adults, and couples. My individual psychotherapy approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), embedding modalities such as CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, into the ACT model, as appropriate to each client’s context. A unique nuance to my style of therapy is how I draw from the power of the language to help improve our relationship with ourselves and our relationships with others. In couples therapy, I work with both partners jointly and individually. My role is to guide and support movements toward the couple's shared goal, which is agreed upon during the first or second session. I utilize an integrated framework (i.e., the WANT framework) which draws from the essential elements of the Gottman Method, EFT, and Relational Life Therapy. I have experience handling concerns which revolve around but are not limited to: ✅ Depression, Anxiety, and Stress ✅ Interpersonal Relationships (e.g., Family, Partner, Friends, Colleagues, etc.) ✅ Self-Patterns (i.e., Behaviors, Habit Formation/Extinguishment, etc.) ✅ Identity and Gender Exploration ✅ Life and Career Transitions ✅ Performance and Expectations
