    About Iryl Cawad, RGC

    Hi I'm Iryl! I'm a licensed counselor and psychometrician with a Master's in Counseling from De La Salle University. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people, from teens to adults, providing compassionate counseling services and psychological assessments. Alongside my counseling practice, I serve as a behavioral health and wellness coach, supporting employees in navigating both personal and work-related challenges. I have a special passion for multicultural and LGBTQ+ counseling, creating safe and affirming spaces for growth and healing. When I'm not working, you'll likely find me playing guitar or drums, or snuggling with my cats—my favorite way to recharge and unwind!

    My Approach to Therapy

    My counseling approach combines evidence-based techniques with a supportive, compassionate environment to help clients achieve meaningful and lasting change. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard, validated, and understood. Using a collaborative and strengths-based approach, I aim to honor each individual's unique experiences while empowering them to grow and thrive. My goal is to provide practical, science-backed strategies alongside the care and encouragement needed for sustainable well-being.
