History
In 1997, located in Jl. Kramat Pela Raya no. 210 South Jakarta, Indonesia, A. Kasandra Putranto, Psychologist initiated her private psychological practice undername of Psychological Practice as her dedication for Psychology in Indonesia. Her psychological services cover individual, group, school and corporate clients; from assessment, counseling, training to other consultancy services.
In 1998, with the increased demand for wider and more comprehensive psychological services and increased needs for other professionals to support them, then a new and more suitable form of organization became necessary. The option fell for Foundation Body named Yayasan Permata Pertiwi, considering that mostly psychological services and practices are still categorized as mental health services. With a form of foundation body, the business got improved with an increased number of clients. Some networks and cooperation are established to strengthen the position in the industry.
In 2003, foundation body was no longer suitable for the business, since most corporate clients were getting less interested to cooperate with foundation body. Then in July 2003, Yayasan Permata Pertiwi was transformed into a corporation body, PT. Kasandra Persona Prawacana (Kasandra & Associates) in order to cater its needs – as a middle scale corporation in Human Resources and Management services, including Psychology. The decision has brought a very sharp impact in quantity and quality of new corporate accounts for Kasandra Associates.
Now Kasandra & Associates provide various services, for individual, school, and corporate, covering assessment, counseling, psychotherapy, consultancy and training. Recorded clients are from many industries, such as banking, insurance, other financial institutions, hotel, manufacture, pharmacy, freight forwarding, event organizer etc. Our 17 psychologists and supporting staffs are very committed to provide many coaching services:
