Career Counseling
The root of counseling science and service is actually career counseling. Frank Parson, the father of counseling, first started counseling service that help people finding jobs, later then, counseling science becoming closer and closer to Psychology, handling clients with mental disequilibrium. Cause back in the day, it was found out that to determine someone’s career, mental health is highly correlated.
In determining someone’s client, a lot of things need to be considered. Starting from expected career all the way to talent and interest. It is not that simple, however I am equipped with proper knowledge to give you either counseling or consultation.
Stress, Anxiety Related Disorder and Depression
Bottom line, those are Psychological Disorder, why do I claimed to be an expert in these areas? Simply because I am interested in these areas. Of all the Psychological Disorder that are exist in DSM, I observe that these psychological disorder are more common to happen among people. It can range from mild to severe and could practically impair your live. Daily events and activities such as communicate to other people, lots of work and speaking in front of other people can trigger these disorder. Therefore I put more interest and energy to study these disorders. I can help you with topics that related to these disorders such as Etiology, Criteria, Prognosis and Treatment that suitable with each of every disorders.
Happiness
I am not only interested in what some people call “Negative Psychology” that focus on mental Disorders. I am also interested in the “Positive Psychology”, especially Happiness. I believe that Happiness is an ultimate goal in life and everyone deserves to experience it. It might not easy though, you have to make an effort to be a happy person. I have been studying about happiness and I would more that happy to help, consult and guide you to achieve it.

Evidence Based Psychological Practice (EBPP)
How do you know that a treatment is effective? Of course if some other people (could be any mental health practitioner) successfully help or cure their clients or patient using that treatment. If there is no evidence that the treatment is working, than it’s effectiveness in helping or curing the concern should be questioned.
That is basically the essence of EBPP. During my master degree, my University (DLSU) introduced all students to this to conceptualize method. Therefore, I am now understand, use it, and could teach this skill and knowledge to other people.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
This therapy believe that how you perceived things can affect your behavior. A simple item such as a pen could mean nothing to some people, it is just a tool for writing. However, for someone who had been injured by a pen, that pen would make the person feel anxious and scared. This example, could give you a picture of how CBT view Psychological Cases. The aim of CBT is to restructure the cognitive of the person who experience dysfunctional thought.
