Ca'ren is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in North Carolina who focuses on helping individuals and couples explore the most authentic & connected versions of themselves through various modalities blending my intuitive gifts, spiritual technologies and clinical expertise. She works from a soul-centered approach in which she focuses on cultivating an open space for metamorphosis and transformation to occur. Her approach is holistic and integrative, encouraging clients to get to know themselves in new ways, which allows them to fully embody all the parts that make us whole. Discovering Human Design in 2021 shed light on Ca'ren's unique energy as a Manifestor, guiding her towards self-awareness and understanding on a deeper level. Exploring her Human Design and Astrology charts in late 2022 was transformative, providing insight into her natural gifts and calling as an alchemist. By embracing her design, she unlocked innate abilities in clairsentience, clairvoyance, and claircognizance, and honed skills in various healing modalities. With consent, her sessions may integrate spiritual technologies and ancestral techniques like incorporating and discussing ancestral veneration, using oracle or tarot in sessions, or using human design or astrology to help clients better understand the patterns of their lives and relationships. Her passion for blending the realms of spirituality, psychology, and sexuality led her to her role as Secretary of the Intuitive Clinicians Council, a non-profit with a mission of legitimizing and restoring the use of Intuition and spiritual practices in mental health and clinical care.

Episode 9: What IF Filipino Psychology Changed How We Understand Ourselves?

In this What If conversation, we explore Filipino psychology — also known as Sikolohiyang Pilipino — and how it offers a different way of understanding the self, relationships, and healing. Together, we talk about key concepts within Filipino psychology and how they contrast with more individualistic, Western frameworks. This conversation opens up questions around identity, culture, and the ways our understanding of the self is shaped by the worlds we come from. Rather than seeing healing as something purely internal, Filipino psychology invites a more relational and culturally rooted perspective — one that considers community, shared experience, and connection. Whether you’re familiar with these ideas or hearing them for the first time, this episode offers space to reflect on how culture shapes the way we make sense of ourselves — and what it might mean to see the self differently. Jezreel Cornel graduated from San Diego State University's MS in Marriage and Family Therapy program with a focus on Narrative Therapy and received clinical training in the San Diego Unified Outpatient Program as a school-based therapist. Alongside his formal education, Jez studied Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino Psychology) through conversation with established Filipino/a/x mental health professionals and reviewing existing literature. Jez is a community organizer through San Diego Kababayan, and supports Kasamahan’s Board of Directors with social media and resources.

Episode 8: WHAT IF Our Parts Carry Cultural Stories?

In this episode I speak to Hui Ting, a licensed mental health counselor based in New York, originally from Malaysia. As a Malaysian Chinese therapist, Hui Ting work centers on supporting Asian American clients navigating family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, relationships, and work-related stress. She integrates parts work and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into her practice, helping clients better understand their inner world and build healthier emotional connections. Growing up in Malaysia, Hui Ting’s experienced a cultural environment where mental health was often stigmatized and emotional expression was discouraged. As the oldest child in her family, she carried significant responsibility from a young age, shaping how she related to emotions, expectations, and identity. These lived experiences now inform her compassionate and culturally aware approach to therapy. Hui Ting’s work emphasizes the importance of understanding how culture, family roles, and early messages about emotions impact healing. She is passionate about creating space for individuals to explore difficult emotions, unlearn limiting beliefs, and develop more supportive ways of relating to themselves and others.

Episode 7: SHELF TALK with Art: Voice as Sacred- On Story, Care, & Love

In this edition of Shelf Talk, I sit with a voice actor whose understanding of voice extends far beyond performance. Together, we explore what it means to treat voice as something sacred — shaped by love, culture, and the stories we inherit. He reflects on how the values passed down by his mother shaped the way he helped care for his father, who lived with schizophrenia, and how Filipino belief systems informed what it meant to show up with presence and compassion. We also talk about his work as an artist and his deep appreciation for stories created by diverse voices — and why honoring those voices feels both personal and necessary. We discuss how love is taught, how care becomes a practice, and how the voices we carry continue to shape who we become.
