Silvia Cruz works with students in our school based program and meets with clients through telehealth.
She is dedicated to working with individuals or families with infants or children where anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment concerns, life transitions, or cultural factors are present.
Support and gentle guidance are an essential part of the therapeutic process, for individuals and families as they identify and utilize strengths while accessing various forms of healing. During this work, Silvia is committed to helping clients reinforce connections with others and themselves, as they develop a deeper understanding of their needs, their environment, and areas of growth in their lives. Using evidence-based practices and therapeutic interventions she helps individuals and families learn to cultivate resilience and guides them towards creating meaningful and lasting change in their lives.
Clinical experience includes the use of various therapeutic modalities such as perinatal and postpartum therapy, attachment-informed therapy, Family Systems, play therapy, mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), learning and behavior. She specializes in multicultural infant/family mental health, early childhood development, crisis intervention and suicide prevention, trauma-informed systems, and domestic violence. Silvia is bilingual and offers services in both English and Spanish.
