Marissa Cruz

My communication style

I create a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where you can feel safe and comfortable. I allow the time and space needed for us to build trust together, ensuring that you feel heard and valued. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and I'm here to support and guide you on your unique journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

Witnessing both large and small victories in the individuals I work with is what motivates and inspires me. I'm especially passionate about supporting individuals from minority groups who may face unique challenges in accessing mental health care or feeling seen and valued.

My goals for you

I'll help you explore and understand yourself better. Together, we'll focus on increasing your ability to make the changes and choices that align with your goals and values. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, providing the tools and guidance to help you move forward with confidence.

Our first session

We'll start by reviewing important information, including policies, procedures, and what you can expect as we work together. Then we'll explore your reasons for seeking therapy and the goals you'd like to work toward. This session is an opportunity for us to begin building a strong foundation in a supportive and collaborative space.
