In the face of adversities, particularly the unparalleled challenges of the pandemic, the demand for psychological services skyrocketed. Meeting this escalating need is Excelsus Psychological Services, a beacon of hope and relief for many. Recently awarded the “Most Trusted and Reliable Psychological Services Provider” by the Philippine Finest Business Awards, Excelsus is making significant strides in mental health services within the country.

Founded in 2022 by Ms. Mec, Excelsus Psychological Services was born out of a poignant observation of the pandemic’s widespread emotional toll. “The pandemic affected everyone, touching lives in countless ways,” explains Ms. Mec. “We recognized the urgency for accessible and quality psychological services, and this impetus drove us to create Excelsus.”

A distinguishing trait of Excelsus is its commitment to providing affordable and accessible services. The idea is to ensure that those in distress receive prompt, quality assistance, irrespective of their location or financial capabilities. “Everyone deserves quality service. Distress shouldn’t wait,” says Ms. Mec. “This belief is at the heart of our operations, reinforcing our resolve to offer teleconsult services to reach those in need, no matter where they are.”

Caring for patients is a challenge, as each individual presents unique complexities. Nonetheless, the team at Excelsus harnesses its expertise to study each patient’s condition diligently, providing tailor-made solutions. “Our patients are not mere cases but individuals with their unique psychological landscapes. We strive to understand these intricacies to better serve them,” shares a psychologist from the Excelsus team.

The cornerstone of Excelsus’s mission lies in the uplifting narrative of patient recovery. “Our greatest achievement is seeing our patients recover and becoming better citizens of the world,” says Ms. Mec. She believes that their life’s value and potential empower the Excelsus team to continue their advocacy and extend assistance wherever possible.

In their journey, Excelsus faced setbacks, yet these moments served as stepping stones for growth and improvement. “Failures are inevitable,” Ms. Mec concedes, “but we use them as lessons to enhance our services and become better in our field.”

Their mantra, “Save one life at a time. Don’t give up on a patient. Believe in the power of self-will and determination,” steers their actions and strategies. It keeps them grounded, reminding them of the immense impact of their work on individual lives and society.

Looking ahead, Excelsus aims to expand its reach across the Philippines. “We hope to establish more branches in different regions, extending our services to a broader Filipino community,” Ms. Mec shares.

Drawing inspiration from prominent figures in psychology, many of whom have personally experienced mental health struggles, Excelsus Psychological Services stands as a testament to resilience and compassion. It serves as a beacon of hope, a testament to the human spirit’s resilience, and an ally in the journey towards psychological wellbeing.

As Ms. Mec eloquently puts it, “We are not merely providing a service; we are nurturing hope, fostering resilience, and paving the way towards a mentally healthier society.”

Apart from its clinical services, Excelsus is deeply invested in giving back to the community through outreach programs. “We’re more than a psychological services provider,” asserts Ms. Mec. “We aim to be a resource, an advocate, and a partner for mental health within our community.”

The balance between productivity and personal life is a principle that Excelsus lives by. This perspective creates a nurturing environment for both the patients and the staff. “We give time to every aspect of our lives. This equilibrium allows us to continue being productive and extend our help to more individuals,” says Ms. Mec.

Failure, according to the team at Excelsus, isn’t the end of the road but an opportunity to learn, grow, and build better services. “Stumbles and falls are part of the journey,” Ms. Mec admits. “But from those experiences, we learn to stand up again, recalibrate, and enhance our services.”

Despite the challenging nature of their work, Excelsus remains motivated by the lives they’ve been able to touch and change. “The life of every patient is valuable to us,” shares an Excelsus psychologist. “Knowing that we can contribute to their journey towards better mental health is an honor and a source of motivation.”

Echoing these sentiments, Ms. Mec concludes, “Our mission isn’t about numbers but about individual stories of resilience and recovery. We cherish being part of these stories and believe in the transformative power of self-will and determination.”

As Excelsus continues to innovate and expand its reach, it holds onto its core vision of providing accessible, quality psychological services to Filipinos everywhere. It embodies the spirit of compassion, understanding, and resilience – the same qualities they strive to foster in the people they serve.

With their dedication and commitment, Excelsus Psychological Services is not just making a mark in the mental health landscape in the Philippines; they’re transforming lives, one session at a time.
