She no longer wanted to be a paramedic and sought options when one day a post card arrived in the mail. It was as though God was sending her a message. The postcard was for a new program at the University of Philadelphia on trauma counseling. She enrolled in the program and began realizing how much the traumas she experienced as a child in the Philippines had affected her life. She graduated and became a trauma therapist and now helps others move through their adversities and find the resilience to move forward. She believes that we all experience adversities and have resilience. Majet is now on a mission to normalize therapy so that more people will get the help they need. Therapists provide an objective view of what you are going through with no judgement or shame. In addition to working as a therapist, Majet empowers women through her organization Diva Girl Philly.
