My name is Dr. Cruz, but you can call me Stella. I am a Clinical Psychologist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and I've been in practice since 2014. I offer services in English and Spanish. I have extensive experience providing individual and group therapy to adults. I specialize in working with trauma, PTSD, dual diagnoses, and other related issues, and I use a mix of Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Trauma Focused Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. “When we nurture others from a place of fullness, we feel renewed instead of taken advantage of.” — Jennifer Louden
I provide support with an integrative approach by tailoring interventions to your needs. I believe you can benefit from learning more about yourself to become the best version of yourself. To do that, you must be willing, committed, and interested in starting the healing process.
Talking with a therapist can be scary at first for some people. However, allowing yourself to practice self-care can also be rewarding. I invite you to embark on this journey together to help you heal and become the best version of yourself!

I feel comfortable working with anyone, since I believe anybody could benefit from learning more about themselves to become the best versions of themselves. However, to do that, that person has to be willing, committed, and interested in starting the healing process. If they are not ready, then it could be challenging for them to let go of habits that they need to work on.
