Cael Alberto, RPsy

3+ years

Been 2 years since my last psych session, and it was that long because I thought I could do it on my own. Something happened recently that pushed me to look for help, and I'm glad Cael was who I matched to work with. Thankful for how natural he was in communicating with me and gave me more insight than I would have if I did things alone. Highly highly recommend.

Hindi po talaga ako comfortable mag-share ng personal feelings ko sa ibang tao kasi natatakot ako ma-judge or hindi maintindihan. Pero during our sessions, naging comfortable po akong mag-open up sa inyo kasi na-feel ko na safe ako magsalita and hindi ako jina-judge. Malaking help po yun sakin kasi kahit papaano gumaan yung pakiramdam ko and mas naging aware ako sa sarili kong emotions. tinago ko ng matagal kase pakiramdam ko walang sense kahit mag share ako kase iisa lang iniisip na ng tao tungkol saken. Thank you po kase kahit papaano nabawasan iniisip ko kahit ba medyo mabigat pa din talaga at keast nabawasan.

As someone seeing a psychiatrist for the first time, I wasn't sure what to expect but this has been a genuinely positive experience. I've been going through a really difficult time, and having someone who encourages me to open up and share what's on my mind has made all the difference. Nothing feels rushed, and the session ended with everything I came in with actually addressed. What I appreciate most is the practical, realistic advice. My concerns and the scenarios I bring up are met with guidance that actually makes sense for my situation. I've also come away with a much better understanding of what I'm experiencing mentally, which has been incredibly grounding. For anyone considering it for the first time, I'd say go for it. I'm grateful for the care and attentiveness.
