Merivic Grace Lacaya

Registered Psychologist

Hi, I'm Grace! I'm a Registered Psychologist and Psychometrician. I've always believed that we're human beings first, before anything else. Everyone has a story, and some parts have been kept to oneself for years. We all have struggles we don't openly talk about, feelings we find difficult to explain, and experiences that affect us in ways we may not fully understand. I know opening up isn't always easy, especially when you've spent so much time figuring things out on your own. My approach is practical, collaborative, and evidence-informed, drawing from my experience in psychological assessment, counseling, and mental wellbeing support, alongside training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychological First Aid (PFA), Mental Health Response (MHR), Trauma-Informed Care, and compassion fatigue. I also draw inspiration from positive psychology and believe mental health care should be part of everyday life: not only for prevention, but also for treatment, recovery, and continued personal growth. I work with adults navigating stress, anxiety-related concerns, emotional difficulties, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. My goal is to help you understand yourself, recognize your capabilities, and make choices that matter to you. Mental health isn't just about getting through your difficult times. It's also about learning how to live well, on your own terms. We can have our sessions in English, Tagalog, or Bisaya, whichever language you feel most comfortable expressing yourself in.
