Kalea
Starting off as ‘eling’ (the Javanese word for consciousness) project, a group of clinical psychologists was compelled to raise awareness of mental health in Indonesia. We believe that when a person is conscious and self-aware, they could reach their potential and lead a happier life.
Kalea later initiated in 2022 to further our aspiration to promote mental health to the community. We provide on-site service to our clients in Jakarta and Bandung. We also provide hybrid service for clients in other areas around the world. In only three years of our inception to public, our clients and services have reached the clients around Asia, the US, and Europe.
Our goals represent the name, Kalea, a Hawaiian word that means joy and happiness. We aim to facilitate people to have a better happiness index and to accompany their life journey toward finding the meanings in their life.
Another uniqueness of Kalea lies in our wide range of expertise and approaches. We utilize mind-body integration in some of our modules and methods, which have proven to be effective in assisting better mental health.
