Rey-Philip Genaldo

My communication style

Trust is the most important piece to this therapeutic relationship, and I believe this is best built through kindness and warm directness. I'm not a passive listener - I'm a compassionate listener. Therapy with me is an engaged conversation full of reflection, perspective, and a checking in with your emotions and somatic experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was a teacher before becoming a therapist. I loved teaching but I loved my office hours more. Students would visit for homework guidance but stay for life guidance. It was during those times that I realized my love for listening, supporting, and being present with someone as they processed through life's difficulties.

My goals for you

This is a collaborative partnership. Together we'll build a realistic and attainable set of goals, which we'll use as a compass that we can continue to touch on as we progress flexibly. As you gain insight, develop agency and empowerment, we will revisit these goals and adapt them to your present needs.

Our first session

In your first session, we will get to know each other and explore the events, thoughts, people, and circumstances that have brought you to this present moment with me. Together we will articulate your goals for change and we will begin to map that journey together toward those goals.
