“Talking with a therapist who is also a complete stranger can be quite scary. However, giving yourself the opportunity to practice self-care can also be rewarding. I invite you to embark on this path together to start your healing process” expressed the doctor.
Pertaining to her educational pursuits, Dr. Cruz-Rodriguez graduated with her Doctor of Psychology degree from Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico in 2019. During her years of training and practice, she realized that many mental health issues are rooted in past negative or traumatic experiences. The symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship issues, and others can be the tip of the iceberg.
As a result, she decided to specialize in working with trauma, PTSD, dual diagnoses, and other related issues. By practicing an integrative approach, she mainly focuses on tailoring interventions to each participant’s needs, helping them understand why they are experiencing distress and develop strategies to manage it.
