Psych Intake Evaluation (Anxiety / Depression / Grief / Bipolar) Customer Today I found the session quite un-engaging as expected. I was expecting a more casual conversation so I could freely share thoughts in my “safe space”. Standard Session Customer 3 days ago Karlo gave me insight on why I chose to cut myself off from my family and how a part of me is quietly emerging again in this next phase of my life, and I’m really thankful for all these pieces that I can take to the next phase of my life Couples Session Customer 1 week ago the session was great but there was another incident after the counselling which i think needs another session ## About Karlo Katipunan, RPsy Hello there, I'm Karlo and I am a Psychologist. It was actually a bit of an accident on how I started to pursue the field of psychology and later on, counseling and therapy. A friend of mine told me about it way back when I didn't even know that it was a course in college. I gave it a try and to be honest, the first couple of years were not that motivating for me. It was the last two years of the course when I started to get a better grip of the nature of the field and actually found myself wanting to engage in it more. When I was exposed to the actual cases, the mental health situation in the country, and the processes on how the field can help people deal with their unique situations, it hit me that this field might be worth pursuing after all. My biggest motivation for trying to support people through counseling is my relentless urge to learn something new in each case that I take. Every new story, fresh perspectives, unique situations, and every conflict people bring is always an opportunity to learn something and improve what we already have. When I am not working, I spend lots of time with my family. I have two young children, who have ample amounts of energy which we usually exhaust from trips, days in the park, and other recreational activities. Personally, I play basketball with friends once a week and squeeze in some walking/jogging sessions whenever time permits. For people considering giving counseling a try, I would offer a space where you can freely express your thoughts, beliefs, values, sorrows, joys, dreams, and everything else in between. I'd offer my time not as an expert who would tell you what to feel and do, but a person who would listen and explore with you through ups and downs in your thoughts and be there alongside you as you tackle each twist and turn of your mental health. ### My Approach to Therapy Back then, I was one of those students who would be terrified to hear that I was being summoned to the counseling office. It was during the latter years of college when I realized how counseling truly works, both from my counseling subjects and exposure to the work itself. As a practicing counselor today, I try my best to foster a curious, supportive, appreciative, and non-judgmental atmosphere for every individual I get to meet — with the idea that every person has the capacity to move from adversity when they are listened to, acknowledged, and supported, and the belief that conversations can alter our thoughts, emotions, and lives in general. More than as a professional or a psychologist, I offer my time as the person I am today to each client I see — who would laugh with you, sit with you in doubts and pain, celebrate with you no matter the size of your wins, challenge you when confused, and simply be there with you in times you most need someone. ## What to Expect Here's how your sessions with Karlo will look. ### Initial Assessment First session We'll explore your concerns, history, and goals together.
