Iris Crisostomo

MSc, RPsy - Licensed Psychologist

I’m a Licensed Psychologist with over 7 years of counseling experience, offering a calm and steady space for clients who want to move beyond quick fixes and explore the deeper roots of their emotional life. My work is depth-oriented — I support clients who are ready to understand the emotional patterns and relational wounds that often operate beneath the surface. If you’re navigating anxiety, low self-worth, grief, or feel stuck in familiar emotional cycles, therapy can help you slow down, make space for what’s real, and build a stronger relationship with yourself. Clients who tend to benefit most from our work often have difficulties with: 1. Identity Struggles & Life Direction Feeling lost, stuck, or unsure about who you are or where you're headed 2. Attachment Wounds & Relationship Patterns Difficulty with trust, closeness, emotional safety, or repeated breakups 3. Emotional Overwhelm & Numbness Feeling too much — or not enough — and wanting better connection to your emotions 4. Grief, Loss & Things Left Unspoken Mourning what’s been lost — including people, dreams, or parts of yourself 5. Anxiety & Low Mood That Don’t Show You look “okay” on the outside, but inside you feel restless, heavy, or tired 6. Repeating Life Patterns Finding yourself stuck in the same relationship dynamics or emotional cycles 7. Thoughts of Not Wanting to Be Here Quiet struggles with self-harm or suicidal thoughts, needing safety and support I draw from psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, and relational work — approaches that help you make sense of your story, not just manage symptoms. Our sessions aren’t rushed or overly clinical — they’re reflective, consistent, and oriented toward deep, meaningful change. I value a therapeutic relationship grounded in honesty, respect, and emotional safety. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, steady space to explore your inner world, I’d be honored to work with you. 💬 Logistics & Availability: Rate: ₱1,700/session Sliding scale: ₱1,200–₱1,500 available for existing/long-term clients Online Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 3 PM to 11 PM Clarity Call: 20-minute consultation available upon request Booking: via the NowServing app or email: connect@iriscrisostomo.com

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay first to get an appointment?

Yes, you will have to pay the fee before I will receive the request. I also offer a limited number of sliding scale slots for clients who may not be able to afford the standard rate. These are typically reserved for those facing financial hardship. Sliding scale slots are limited and subject to availability. If you're interested, feel free to mention it during your consult or first session.

How long will it take for Psychotherapy to work?

"Recent research indicates that on average 15 to 20 sessions are required for 50 percent of patients to recover as indicated by self-reported symptom measures.There are a growing number of specific psychological treatments of moderate duration (e.g., 12 to 16 weekly sessions) that have been scientifically shown to result in clinically significant improvements.In practice, patients and therapists sometimes prefer to continue treatment over longer periods (e.g., 20 to 30 sessions over six months), to achieve more complete symptom remission and to feel confident in the skills needed to maintain treatment gains."

What are the guidelines/policies for online psychotherapy?

1. A cancellation or reschedule of consultation will be honored on or before 24 hours prior to the scheduled session. If a cancellation or reschedule happens less than 24 hours, it will be considered a no-show, which means that you will be charged the session rate due to the late cancellation. 2. Please note that I will wait for you during the first 15 minutes of the scheduled session. If the Client doesn't enter the call during the first 15 minutes, the session will be considered No Show of Client. No Show means that you will be charged the same rate despite not attending the session. 3. Please ensure that you are alone and that you are in a private space during the session. Failure to secure a private space will forfeit the session. 4. Kindly use headphones or earphones in order to maintain your session’s confidentiality. 5. A good internet connection is needed for your session to ensure that communication between the client and the therapist will be clear.

Can I message you on your social media accounts?

Please keep all consult-related questions here on this platform. For any new concerns, please book another appointment. If it is related to your psychotropic medication, please consult with your Psychiatrist.

A typical session lasts around 50 minutes per Client for Individual Therapy, for other services such as Group Therapy, Couple's Therapy etc. - duration and fees will vary. It can take longer depending on the case and needs of the patient. If the session will exceed to 1.5 hour, the fee will be prorated.
