Ms Kathleen Kris Cortez

Licensed Psychologist

“I am a clinical psychologist working in all ages. My specialization is dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, Autism and other mental health concerns.”

About Me

Life’s complexities can bring challenges at any age, from anxiety and depression to the impacts of trauma. I help individuals and families navigate these concerns. We can explore what feels challenging, whether it’s the weight of depression or unique aspects of ADHD. My aim is to create a supportive space. Here, you can find clarity and develop strategies tailored to your situation.

Approach

I focus on how daily routines, relationships and past hurts show up now, shaping sessions into clear, manageable steps that fit your life. In my Dasmariñas clinic and through online sessions in English or Tagalog, we balance focused reflection with practical exercises you can try between meetings. Assessment guides our pace—using targeted conversation, brief tasks and family or adoption-focused planning when relevant—so progress is measurable and tailored. This approach suits people of all ages facing trauma, mood or neurodiverse challenges who want steady, practical change.
