    The phrase 'Naaalala ko...' reminds me that I made the right decision in choosing Ms. Isabel. It may sound strange, but I actually look forward to therapy because I know I'll feel mentally lighter afterward.

    I really appreciate miss Isabel. Hiking is my coping, and she used it as an analogy for what i’m going through… so thoughtful ❤️‍🩹

    About 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.

    My Approach to Therapy

    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.
