Show up from wherever you are. ## What Makes Saya Different No jargon, no gimmicks. Here's how therapy actually works on Saya. ### Sessions via Google Meet No proprietary software to learn. Sessions happen on Google Meet — familiar, reliable, and accessible from any device. ### PRC-Licensed Professionals Every professional on Saya is a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, or registered counselor, each verified by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). ### Therapy and Psychiatry in One Place Counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists are all on Saya, so you can get talk therapy, a diagnosis, or medication without switching platforms or starting over somewhere new. ### Prescriptions Done Right When a psychiatrist prescribes medication, you get a digital copy in the Saya app. For most prescriptions that digital copy is all a pharmacy needs. Controlled medicines, called S2, can only be filled from a printed original under Philippine law, so for those Saya mails the physical prescription to you anywhere in the country. ### English or Filipino Speak in whatever language feels right. Our professionals are fluent in English, Filipino, and many regional languages. ### Book Through the App Simple scheduling through the Saya app. Choose your professional, pick a time that works, and show up. No gatekeeping. ## Common Questions About Online Therapy Honest answers to the things Filipinos actually ask before starting therapy. ### Is online therapy effective? ### Do I need a referral to see a psychologist in the Philippines? ### What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist? ### Can I do therapy in Filipino or Tagalog? ### Is my therapy session confidential? ### How do sessions work? ### Can I choose my own therapist? ### What mental health conditions can Saya help with? ## Not Sure Where to Start?
