Rosario Cruz
New to Grow
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I work with clients navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, behavioral issues, and relationship concerns. I use an integrative, evidence-based approach to tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and culturally sensitive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll work on building coping skills, gaining insight, and making meaningful, lasting changes in your life.
