Description:
I'm Dr. Caring Tarroja, and I believe in the power of resilience. Wearing many hats—psychologist, professor, mentor, researcher, and consultant—my core passion lies in guiding individuals toward healing. I've learned that healing isn't about erasing pain but about weaving it into a narrative of strength. With a warm smile and compassionate heart, I create a safe space for you to explore your deepest vulnerabilities. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection, empowering you to navigate life's challenges with confidence. Each session is a journey of self-discovery, leaving you with renewed hope and resilience. Beyond my practice, I'm committed to mental health awareness. I conduct workshops and seminars, bridging the gap between clinical practice and public understanding. My experiences as a therapist enrich my research and teaching, providing practical insights to aspiring psychologists whom I passionately mentor. My dedication has been recognized nationally, including the PAP Outstanding Psychologist Award in 2016 and the PRC Outstanding Professional of the Year in Psychology in 2023.
Colleagues and clients often describe me as a compassionate listener, a beacon of hope, and a source of unwavering support. I invite you to join me on a transformative journey. Together, let's discover the power of self-compassion, the strength of human connection, and the potential for lasting well-being.
