    Dra was very understanding and was able to explain what I am experiencing. She prescribed medication and gave alternatives. She also explained that while medicine can help, it is best partnered with therapy.

    About Dr. Ryza Pesqueria

    I'm Dr. Ryza. From the very beginning of my journey in healthcare, I've been deeply drawn to the inner workings of the mind — this invisible yet powerful part of us that shapes not only our own experiences, but also the lives of the people around us. I've always believed that everything is interconnected in meaningful ways. What fulfills me most is the simple act of sitting with someone, listening, and being present. There is something profoundly meaningful about witnessing a person feel that warmth and feel a little lighter. Those moments remind me every day why I chose this profession — and why I continue to cherish it. I like art and handicrafts, though I may not be very good at it. I also like to play games, especially Genshin Impact, watching Japanese animé, and reading manhwa or manga. I want people considering me for psychiatry to know that I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as we make sense of your experiences together.

    My Approach to Psychiatric Care

    My approach to psychiatric care is rooted in compassion, presence, and an appreciation for the interconnectedness of a person's experiences. I strive to create a calm, comfortable space where an individual can speak openly without fear of judgment, knowing that their stories will be met with understanding and respect. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard, and I allow each person's pace, background and needs to shape the direction of care. Guided by a deep curiosity about the mind and its impact on daily life, I work collaboratively with patients to gain clarity, ease emotional burdens, and move toward a sense of balance and well-being.
