Lorraine Cruz

My communication style

My communication style is calm, empathetic, and flexible, creating a safe and supportive environment. I meet you where you are, whether you need a space to talk things through or simply be heard and understood. Working with me feels like a collaborative process where you can openly express yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was shaped by my desire to provide comfort and support to others. As the oldest daughter of immigrants, I grew up in a helping role and always knew I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. Today, I offer both understanding and cultural sensitivity to support your growth.

My goals for you

At the beginning of therapy, we'll discuss what brings you here and explore the goals you hope to achieve. From there, we'll work together to create a plan, taking it one step at a time to ensure your goals are clear and manageable. My approach is collaborative, allowing us to adjust as needed to best support your progress.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. I understand that meeting with a new therapist can feel intimidating, so I don't expect you to share your most intimate experiences right away. We'll focus on introducing ourselves, discussing what brings you to therapy, and beginning to build trust.
