Isabel Mapalad, RPsy

Hello! I'm Isabel, but you can call me "Isa". Growing up, I had this belief that if I was able to keep all my emotions in, then that would make me a strong person. It took me a while to find out that it wasn't the case. I had this moment of clarity that opening up, letting yourself be vulnerable, and asking for help when you are struggling is actually a big sign of strength and courage. This is what motivated me to become a psychologist, and that is what I want to show and teach other people who are struggling right now. Life may be hard, but we don't have to go through it alone.

The moment I realized that I wanted to help people, it also came with the belief that every single human being has this innate power to help themselves. I know that there are times when it is hard to believe that, and I know there are also days when it feels like there is no hope or light at the end of the tunnel. But, during those times, a person who will listen to you and give you a safe space, while offering you an objective helping hand, does a lot of good. That is my goal for you. I offer a space where you can share all your thoughts in the most unfiltered way. I may not have all the answers, but I know that you have it within you to grow towards positive development. Let's work together towards that.
