Hello, I’m Cruz Rodriguez a License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I'm a bilingual clinician with specialized training in various therapeutic modalities, whom has master degrees in social work from Yeshiva University Wurzweiler School of Social Work and in Applied Behavior Analysis from ABA España. I have provided therapy to adults impacted adversely by anxiety, depression, maladaptive behaviors, severe mental illness, substance abuse, and/or family conflicts. My therapeutic style is person-centered and cognitive-behavioral, providing a non-judgmental environment where you could feel free to explore the issues impacting your existence. It’s through this exploration that I have witness many individuals become empowered by acquiring coping mechanism that allows them to improve their wellbeing and achieve goals in life. Please, feel free to schedule an appointment with me if you are experiencing behavioral, cognitive, and/or emotional barriers inhibiting you from achieving your full potential. To schedule an appointment, feel free to call+1 (786) 755-1863 or email: reception+Cruz1237@growtherapy.com
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the initial session we would aim at exploring the issues impacting your existence, inhibiting your from thriving and reaching your full potential. According to the issues impacting you we will subsequently create a treatment plan aiming at helping you to develop coping skills to overcome them. Usually, that may entail initially weekly session for twelve weeks. At that point we would evaluate your progress and determine if you need to continue weekly, resume receiving therapy bi-weekly. Yet, if you prefer to continue weekly, scheduling will proceed according your preference.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
The treatment modalities that I mostly use during the sessions are Client-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic. Periodically, I will request that you complete a PHQ-9 Depression Assessment and GAD-7 forms to monitor your mood and treatment outcomes on your well being.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths include providing a non-judgmental environment where you could feel free to be yourself and explore the issues impacting you. Implementing client-centered techniques aiming at increasing your insight concerning how you could engage in problem solving to solve the issues impacting you. Throughout the sessions I will skillfully implement cognitive-behavioral techniques. That will be aiming at increasing your insight concerning how cognitive processes and behaviors are adversarially inhibiting you from thriving.
