Getting to know Katrina Dela Cruz

I earned my Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California in 2011 and spent a decade as a hospital clinician before beginning work in private practice, where I am able to integrate my passion for and education in a wide variety of healing traditions. In addition to psychotherapy, I have extensive training in yoga, energy work, sound healing, herbalism, plant spirit medicine, and many other complementary wellness methods

What should a new client know about working with you?

My practice is informed by the interconnectedness of all things, especially the relationship between mind, body, and spirit (or soul), and the interrelationships between beings. I am influenced by Western psychological theories, as well as holistic, ancestral, and indigenous wellness rituals from around the world. I specialize in grief and loss, particularly death and dying, and the emotional and spiritual work surrounding other significant transitions, rites of passage, and life cycles. This includes work around the end of life, pregnancy loss, traumatic birthing processes, and plant (or fungi) spirit medicine integration.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy is a collaboration between client and therapist, as we are all practitioners and students in our own rights. We all have within us an innate wisdom and knowing to share and to affect positive change. I use this strengths-based perspective to begin with whatever feels most pertinent to you in your healing journey. If you are open to it, along the way, I may introduce a number of "alternative" modalities, for example, sound healing therapy for IFS (internal family systems, also called "parts work") or guided meditation for inner child work. I look forward to supporting your journey!
