My name is Marisol Cruz, and I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I have worked within school settings for 28 years, both in high school and elementary school. The students I served came from one of the most diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Many of the students had various needs. Students suffered from trauma, social-emotional, behavioral issues, relationship issues, adjustment issues, and more. During this time, I also worked with students with many diagnoses to help them learn how to use coping skills and strategies to manage their daily routines better. Currently, I work with adults with many of the same concerns mentioned above. As a counselor, I have assisted my clients/families with wraparound services within the school and outside community resources to help them live more productive lives. I work with families, helping them to create an environment that will establish routines. I also provide services for adults with depression, anxiety, relational support, and much more. As a counselor, I offer wraparound services to help families with the resources they need to help them with day-to-day interactions.
