Tiphany Cruz, LMSW- Associate Therapist

---

Have you been dealing with crippling stress or anxiety that limits your ability to tackle day to day or big picture tasks? Perhaps you feel it’s time to seek out someone that can support you in identifying and healing your trauma? Change is the only constant in life and I would love to work with you to help you become the master of your life. As your therapist, I will serve as your guide toward building your emotional capacity. You deserve the peace of mind to run towards your goals especially when it feels scary. Let me join you on your healing journey and I will provide you with clarity, safety and encouragement.

I often utilize strengths-based approaches and concepts from mindfulness, inner child theory, attachment theory, CBT and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). My practice is grounded in a holistic approach, acknowledging the mind, body and soul as a whole. We will take the time to name all of the external and internal factors that contribute to your stress and tackle them as you see fit. My style focuses on building your mindset so you have the will and confidence to accomplish your therapeutic goals.

My focus as your therapist will be to support you in discovering healthier coping skills and taking ownership of how you experience life. As a result of working with me, you will have more compassion for yourself and others and you will be able to grow and maintain healthier relationships.

More than just my work:

I am a self-taught digital artist. I use art to heal my soul. Self expression is important to me and words don’t always fully capture the feeling. I feel most at peace when I am surrounded by nature simply listening to the sounds around me. I am at my best when I am eating nutritious foods, moving my body and spending time with my loved ones.
