Jessica Cruz
I am a bicultural and bilingual therapist. I value building a genuine and therapeutic relationship with folks, which means I will individualize therapy so that it can be the most meaningful. I use a mindfulness and strengths-based approach in session. I strongly believe we all posses the skills and abilities to create our desired lifestyle and goals by rediscovering self-love, practicing self-compassion, creating healthy relationships and remembering we need to be accountable to ourselves.
During my professional experiences I have worked with school age children, adolescents, adults and families. I have witnessed the mental and emotional toll that symptoms of anxiety, insecurity, stress, trauma, grief and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can have on an individual: and obstruct the individual's ability to deal with the present moment.
For a person to increase safety and connection in their lives, they must recognize what needs are not being met. There needs to be a safe place where they can express thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Together we will create a safe, compassionate and empathetic relationship, one that will promote healing, and is safe for you to be brave and vulnerable.
