Getting to know Angelica Gutierrez-Cruz

Hi there, I'm Angelica! I believe that everyone can heal with the support of therapy. Over the last couple of years, my focus has been on the treatment of substance use. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, which has equipped me with the skills to support my clients effectively. My approach I have experience providing therapy using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and DBT-specific skills. These therapeutic interventions are not only evidence-based practices but are also easy for clients to learn and use. My focus I typically work with clients who struggle with substance use and are interested in reducing or stopping use. I feel most comfortable treating depression, anxiety, and substance use. My communication style I like clear, open communication. I think that when we can be open and honest with ourselves, we can learn the skills to express ourselves with others. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I wanted to help others like I was helped when I came out as queer. My goals for you I like to listen and share my impressions with clients and then collaboratively create goals. After creating the treatment plan, I check in with clients periodically about the progress made and what changes might be needed to make the goals more reachable. My first session with you Clients should expect that I will be present and listen to them.
