Angela Cruz
Hello! My name is Angela and I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based out of Indiana. I received my Master's degree in social work in 2009 and became a LCSW in 2016. I do my best to help my clients to feel heard and understood. We all have a story to tell and my goal for you is that you leave sessions feeling like your story has been heard.
First session
In our first session together, we will introduce ourselves and I'll answer questions you may have. Afterwards, I will be doing a biopsychosocial assessment with you (just a fancy way of saying I'm going to ask you a lot of questions about your physical and mental health, social issues/concerns, spiritual beliefs, and anything else you want to share with me that you feel I need to know when working with you). I know therapy can feel overwhelming, especially initial sessions, so we will take things at a pace where you feel comfortable.
Strengths
I have worked in the mental health and addictions field for 20+ years and have experience with various populations and groups of people. Open-mindedness is my greatest strength as a provider, and it is what has allowed me the opportunity to be able to work with so many populations.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with all ages but I specialize in clients that are 18+ years old, struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and addiction. My clients are eager to do the work needed to address their concerns, but may not yet have the tools or coping skills, or may not know how to utilize those tools or coping skills.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
I'm familiar with several treatment methods and use them based on what seems to be the best fit for the client.
