About me

My name is Marisol Cruz, and I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have 24 years of experience working as a school counselor with children from kindergarten through 12th grade. I have worked with students with various diagnoses. My main objective in working with students is to help them by supporting and guiding them so they can carry on a daily routine in school and any environment.

A partnership is developed, whereby children and adolescents are actively involved in helping to create personal growth and development in their lives. I work with families (not family counseling) helping them to create an environment that will establish routines at home so that the changes can be implemented and the children and adolescents feel a sense of support and accountability. I offer wraparound services to help families with the resources they need to live productive lives.

Also, I provide services for adults with mild/ moderate depression, anxiety, relational support, life coaching, and more. Sessions will focus on the clients and their immediate needs. At the start of the sessions, we will discuss anything on their mind then concentrate on the main goal of the therapy session and work together towards meeting expectations. The therapeutic process will be empathetic, and compassionate, and the client should feel safe to express themselves in a non-judgmental environment.

Marisol has been super helpful. She listens to everything & always makes sure to take time on each thing that I’ve mentioned. She’s super kind & makes sures to explain everything. I was scared to start therapy but I actually look forward to our next session.

I just started doing therapy and was matched perfectly with Marisol Cruz on the first try of the app finding me a therapist!! I really appreciate how she listens to me and gives me tips, mini meditation podcast and articles, And YouTube channels that is very convenient and quick for me and my lifestyle! She listens to you and gives tips and suggestions for whatever you are dealing or going through with and in your life. And for this being my first time being in therapy(I was a little scared and hesitant)she really helps me adjust to it very well!! We had a couple of breakthroughs just in the second session alright, and I only been in therapy for only 3 weeks!! So I am very pleased with her services and definitely will recommend her and betterhelp app to friends and family.

Marisol is excellent! We created a therapeutic bond quite quickly, and she is incredibly relatable. It makes a first time therapy experience less intimidating, and for that I am eternally grateful.
