I knew I was called to be a mental health therapist when I was an abused and confused 11 years old foster child sitting in a therapist’s office myself. It was the very first time I ever felt safe. Since then I've gone on to receive my PhD in Mental Health Counseling and a degree in Hypnotherapy. I completed my internship at a women's residential substance abuse facility assisting women to increase their self-esteem, self-worth, self-image, process their trauma and grief, manage their anxiety and depression, and taught various life skills. I then went on to work in an out-patient substance abuse facility with clients struggling with addiction, trauma, rejection, comorbidity (two or more diagnoses i.e. anxiety, depression, bipolar, or substance abuse, etc), and feelings of worthlessness. I've also worked in conjunction with the Division of Family and Children Services to help families regain custody of their children, facilitate adoptions, and counsel children in foster homes and in group homes.
I authored From Foster Care to FABULOUS: An Imperative Movement, Maximize Your Super Powers & 6 Steps to 6 Figures; co-authored Ripping Gripping Fear Out of Your Story, have several other e-books on Amazon as a result of my own life experiences, and completed rigorous research on the protective factors that evolved foster children into healthy and effective adults. Having grown up in the foster care system myself, I struggled with my own challenges ranging from being controlled by fear to overcoming abusive relationships and self-medicating. I believe it is in the transparency of my personal challenges and triumphs that I am solidified as an effective therapist, not solely by my PhD.
As a mental health therapist, public speaker, and life coach (see client feedback at www.capricruz.com), I've assisted thousands of clients in achieving greater awareness of their mind, body, and spirit connection, assisted in identifying the root of their challenges in order to regain personal power through solidifying their desired identity, created action plans to self-correct and resolve inner-conflicts, and helped my clients to identify and achieve their life goals.
My therapeutic approaches include, but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Narrative Therapy, Family Systems, Guided Imagery, Stress Reduction, Positive Psychology, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
As a mental health therapist what I've learned is that my greatest gift to my clients is to be non-judgmental in my listening in order to help facilitate healing. I believe people want, and often need, to be heard, validated, cared for, accepted, and assisted with feedback. I believe my clients are the experts of their own lives; and I am their guide. Together we are a team. My job is to provide a safe and trusting environment that will help bring that awareness and confidence into their consciousness to empower their ability to meet their own needs.

Dr. Cruz is fantastic — very attentive, accommodating and supportive. She has great insight and a true listening ear. Every time I have spoken with her, she has provided helpful and applicable mantras that ground me to reality versus be wrapped up in my thoughts. Would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those in the service or who have family in the service, as she has extensive experience from her time in the military and can relate/provide insight.

Dr. Cruz is a very sweet, wonderful woman who helped me understand my condition and everyday feelings and thoughts in a clear and understandable way. She listens closely and responds with care and yet still offers explanations and solutions based research. She is very approachable and trustworthy, yet professional and gets to the point. She helped with several areas of my life, including my sleep, spiritual health, relationships, changes in life, etc. I highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who will effectively help you.

Dr. Cruz has been the first therapist in my healing journey that I've felt genuinely comfortable with. It's not easy for me to open up about certain things, but Dr. Cruz makes it feel easy & natural. I appreciate her insight, humor, and spiritual guidance & support.

Dr. Cruz is simply excellent. To have the opportunity to speak with a very educated mind like Dr. Cruz is an honor. Dr. Cruz is professional, on time, listens and provides constructive feedback.

Dr.cruz has truly help me in so many ways grow as an individual in a positive manner. She has inspired me to reach my personal goals, open up my mind to many possibilities, stay positive, self-reflect and give myself some grace. For example, if I am feeling down or tired she reminds me to recognize how I am feeling and that it is completely okay and healthy to do so. Whereas I have had many other therapist make me feel bad about taking time for myself and wanting to do nothing. Dr.Cruz puts a positive perspective on everything and it’s how you look at things. I have not been depressed since having her has my therapist. I have only had about 4 sessions, but I am able to sleep now and be more motivated about reaching goals. I appreciate her spiritual side and different practices such as hypnosis. I was skeptical but it’s been amazing. She is very professional , personable, and respectful of others beliefs. Dr.Cruz seems to be religious and has spoken about god, the Bible, but she does not put her beliefs on me nor makes me uncomfortable. I appreciate that as I am on the fence on where I am at religiously. I am a spiritual person and believe in God but have been on the fence about my religion. Overall, Dr.Cruz is the first therapist that I have connected with and felt as if I’ve actually have been accomplishing things on my life and it does not feel like homework or repetitive. It’s actually useful and feels like we are getting somewhere with bettering my mental health. If you want to overcome obstacles and reach your goals or even try to come up with some to better yourself, then Dr.Cruz is the therapist for you!

Dr. Cruz is a great listener. Her approach is solution-oriented and rational. She often empowers when my mind starts to go into a negative spot. Her guidance often involves using our conscious mind to direct our thinking. Sometimes she'll give me solutions for meditation. I usually do phone sessions with her. I rarely type thoughts out to her but when I do, she'll usually respond within the next day or so. She'll also apologize if she oversteps boundaries, which I respect because therapists are human just like everyone else. After 20 months of working with her, I decided to explore other perspectives with another therapist, but it doesn't mean that Dr. Cruz wouldn't be a fantastic therapist for somebody else. Thank you Dr. Cruz. Glad to have you in my pocketbook of support.

Dr. Cruz has surpassed my expectations for this site. Even on our first session, she was able to help me see a different perspective and I had a “breakthrough” on how I handle certain situations. She’s kind and is quick to listen and let me talk and ramble and she is able to dissect what I said and break it down into a way that we can reach a solution. I would recommend her to anyone!

She challenges you in healthy ways and is your biggest advocate. For those who are ready to create the life of happiness they deserve, Dr. Cruz will help you iron out the details.

It has been amazing to work with Dr. Cruz. When I started therapy with her, I was overwhelmed with so many things that I had to process. Dr. Cruz has always been able to extend a listening ear and guide me through healthy ways of coping. Whenever I felt down, she was able to provide an alternative perspective that I've been able to adopt and thanks to her, I'm in a much better mental and emotional place. I highly recommend her for anyone, whether you're going through life or just want someone to vent to. She's an amazing therapist and I truly feel blessed to have been able to have her in my life!

Dr. Cruz is truly a God-send. She is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She treats you like a human being and not a patient in a long list of patients. She really listens to what you are saying, and tells you what you need to hear in the nicest way possible. She actually breaks down why someone feels a certain way and how you can go about fixing it in specifics and details! She is very inclusive in planning your treatment and really wants to know your goals and intentions and not just pushing what she wants upon you! I can not recommend this woman enough!!
