    About Cheska Balagtas, RPsy

    Hello, I'm Cheska and my journey into therapy was inspired by a deep commitment to serving others and a keen interest in the complexities of human behavior. I am driven by a profound compassion and a desire to empower individuals to achieve their personal aspirations. In my personal time, I enjoy swimming, exploring coastal environments, and engaging in reflective journaling. These activities provide me with balance and a sense of renewal. My professional goals are rooted in the pursuit of helping others, cultivating personal fulfillment, and striving for continuous self-improvement. If you are considering therapy, I would like you to know that you are not alone. I am here to provide a supportive and understanding environment. It would be my privilege to assist you on your path to well-being.

    My Approach to Therapy

    I'm dedicated to creating a space where you feel completely safe and truly heard. I care deeply about your well-being and believe that a strong, trusting connection is the foundation of effective therapy. In our work together, therapy becomes a journey—a shared exploration of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By gently uncovering what lies beneath, we can help you understand yourself better and open the door to lasting growth. Your unique story matters, and I'm here to walk with you every step of the way.
