Need referral for Mental Health specialist in Manila

[Avalon]

My own preference is to avoid addictive and harmful drugs that some doctors prescribe like candy.

My experience is with a family member needing counselling for serious anxiety attacks and related issues and for this we were advised that the best in the country is the Ateneo Bulatao Center for Psychological Services at Ateneo University de Manila:

It took over a month of wait to get the appointment and we drove from Concepcion, Tarlac

They were fantastic - spending almost an hour with the 18yo patient - then 30 minutes with the mother - then 30 minutes with them both together.  Patient, caring, helpful - I couldn't recommend them more highly - and with therapies and practise tasks that did not involve mind-numbing drugs.

The fee was so nominal I forget - perhaps P3,000 for the whole 2 hours?

Anyway - highly recommended...
