Marisol Cruz
Hello, I’m Marisol Cruz. I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) offering therapy in both English and Spanish. With 24 years of experience as a school counselor and over 5 years as a mental health clinician, I support adults who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-worth or confidence. I also have extensive experience helping individuals manage overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and communication difficulties. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe therapy should feel safe and supportive, and I work to create a non-judgmental space where you can express yourself openly. Together, we will identify your goals, understand what’s weighing on you, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally balanced. Whether you’re seeking clarity, guidance, healing, or personal growth, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s work together to create meaningful and lasting change.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
While working with the client, we explore together what is at the root of their situation. We then work on realistic expectations of what can help the client. We practice and revisit the implementation of a plan to identify what is working and what needs to be revisited.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify strengths, clarify goals, and develop practical solutions. My approach focuses on building resilience, recognizing existing successes, and creating achievable steps toward positive change.

Marisol creates a safe non-judgemental space. I feel heard and understood. She's insightful and authentic. She also gives tasks that I feel will help me grow well outside of my therapy journey. As we continue to meet I believe she will guide me in finding clarity and strength within myself.
