Getting to know Angie Cruz

Hi there, I'm Angie! Hello, my name is Angie Cruz, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting children and families through life's challenges. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Loma Linda University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of La Verne. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and culturally attuned, integrating narrative and attachment theory to help clients explore their stories, build secure connections, and foster resilience. I specialize in grief and loss, particularly parental bereavement, adoption-related issues, and supporting children and families navigating complex life transitions. My approach My approach to therapy centers on creating a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, experiences, and relationships. I prioritize understanding each client's unique context, including their cultural background, personal history, and values, to tailor interventions that best support their healing and growth. The most common theoretical approaches I use are narrative therapy and attachment theory. Narrative therapy helps clients reframe and take ownership of their life stories, uncovering strengths and new perspectives that foster resilience. Attachment theory guides my work in understanding relational patterns and helping clients develop secure, healthy connections with themselves and others. I also draw from strengths-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive frameworks to provide holistic support that meets clients where they are and empowers them to thrive. My communication style I create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, valued, and empowered to express themselves fully. My sessions are collaborative and client-centered, fostering trust and mutual respect.
