Pull up a seat, let’s replenish. This is your time.

Uliyán:

Ulirát is the awarenesss of one's immediate physical or somatic space, and Kamalayán (consciousness) is the heart, mind, psyche.

Together, Uliyán Psychological Services is a therapy space promoting healing for the holistic and wholeness of the Self.

IS THIS YOU?

You show up & hold so much - for your communities, for your lineage, for change. You’re the one people turn to.

And yet, there’s a quiet exhaustion you carry.
A part of you longs to soften.

Another part wonders: Who am I outside of survival?

You might be navigating:

  • Burnout masked as high-functioning.

  • Identity and belonging as a woman of color.

  • Mothering/Parenting wounds, ancestral grief, or the ache of wanting to become a mother.

  • Intergenerational trauma that still speaks through your body.

  • A life that looks full—but feels far from aligned.

You are not broken. You're carrying more than one person should.


My practice is a place where you don’t have to carry it all alone.

IMAGINE IF...

You could sip tea with your FULL self - all the parts of you - instead of fighting them.


You felt rooted and resourced enough to CHOOSE both rest and creative defiance.

You understood your nervous system’s rhythms like a well-practiced flow &

knowing when to yield, when to stand, and when to move from your center.

You begin to recognize the constellation of your psyche, your family, and to alchemize what you used to hide. You plant new rituals, reclaim inner ground, and mother yourself with grace.

Healing here is not linear. It's cyclical, like the moon.


Together, we follow your internal map

toward the version of you that feels whole, sacred, and home.

Hello! Thanks for comin’ by…

A little bit about Dr. Jean-Arellia Tolentino (CA: PSY34978)

I am: a psychologist, a researcher, a community organizer, an educator, a Filipina American, a daughter/mother/grieving mother/sis/partner, and the list goes on.

Contact

I carry with me: over a decade of clinical experiences working in crisis counseling, community mental health, and university & college counseling centers. My therapeutic work incorporates decades more of community & student organizing experiences, non-profit community partnerships, and restorative justice practitioner work.

I share all this, because often therapists don’t. I share that my work as a therapist has been cultivated from a myriad of paths I’ve taken and the different lives I’ve lived.

Therapy with me is like tea time: warm, spacious, invitational, and sometimes uncomfortable in the way truth often is. I believe healing can feel like art, like flow, like time-traveling & remembering.

Thanks for crossing paths with my page, and if what I do & how I do what I do sparks your curiosity, stay for a session or eight, and let’s see what’s brewing!

Work with me

I offer gentle, depth-oriented care for motivated individuals ready to embark on the healing journey; I love working with creatives, educators, professionals, space-holders, activists, and those walking a healing path.

Holding space for space-holders is sacred.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY | WORKSHOPS & TRAININGS | SUPERVISION + CONSULTATION

I also love who I work with — because…

I believe your capacity to rest is also your capacity to rebel.

Offerings

Supervision & Clinical Consultation

For therapists and healing practitioners cultivating ethical, decolonial, trauma-informed care.
Rooted in collaboration, self-reflection, and mutual respect, these spaces feel more like tending a garden than checking a box.

Come home to yourself while tending the fire for what you believe in.

Individual Therapy

Speaking Engagements & Trainings

For organizations, teams, and communities wanting embodied, liberatory learning.

Healing doesn’t always mean retreating from the world.

It means returning to yourself with more clarity, compassion, and capacity.

I believe rest is resistance.

That tending the inner terrain allows us to move through the outer world with rooted power.

This alchemy work looks like….

  • Turning burnout into becoming

  • Grief into growth

  • Rupture into regenerative care

  • Rest into steady revolution

It’s a dance and fighting arts of discipline and softness: fluid yet fierce, grounded yet adaptive.
