We are here for you

The Ateneo Bulatao Center is the non-profit service and research arm of the Psychology Department of the Ateneo de Manila University. We deliver counseling and psychotherapy; psychological testing and assessment; psychological workshops; and intervention programs in the service of improving the psychological wellbeing of children, adolescents, and adults. Furthermore, we are committed to promoting psychological wellness across a variety of settings such as schools, government organizations, non – government organizations, and corporations.

 

The center also trains the next generation of psychologists and mental health professionals to integrate scholarly knowledge, research findings, a grounded awareness of context, self-awareness, and critical thinking into clinical practice and clinical decision-making.

What We Do

COUNSELING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

Our therapists utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions, adapting to the specific needs of the clients, in the different stages of therapy. We offer these services to individuals, communities, and companies.

BRIEF PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES

A program that aims to provide free non-specialized psychosocial support for Filipinos. The program recruits, trains, and mentors graduate students to deliver online psychological support in 1-2 counseling sessions to address a caller’s psychological distress.

TRAINING & WORKSHOPS

We have researched and designed psychological workshops and skills training in various contexts and sectors such as corporations, government units, and non-government organizations in the Philippines.

RESEARCH

Our Center seeks to advance knowledge and innovations in the treatment, prevention, and promotion of mental health and well-being of Filipinos across the life span and in various contexts.

The experience at Bulatao Center is a person-to-person human encounter – where compassion and empathy towards the self and others become the undercurrent that defines the approach to professional psychological practice.
