Getting to know Maricarmen Cruz

am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, offering therapy specialized for survivors of trauma. Whether you are looking for help processing a single-occurrence traumatic event or trying to unpack complex trauma stemming back to your childhood, I am here for you. In my career, I have been a teacher, a child advocate, and now a therapist aiming to help those who want to take back their lives and regain their peace. My approach I work with adults and members of the LGBTQIA+ community using trauma-informed, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), strength-based, and solution-focused approaches to help my clients process and overcome struggles in their lives. My focus My clients are motivated, curious, and ready to tackle their trauma with me alongside them. Most of my clients come to see me after trying multiple therapy modalities that have not brought them success, and they're looking for their perfect blend of mind-body connection and trauma-informed processing. My communication style I am a compassion-focused therapist and I provide affirmation and support while (kindly, respectfully) calling you out on your bullshit. My clients have told me they appreciate my warm personality and love that I am not afraid to get real with them when things get tough. My journey to mental healthcare I have had a long career of being a "helper". I began as a teacher (middle school reading & English!), transitioned into child advocacy, and now I am a trauma therapist specializing in adult survivors of childhood trauma. My personal journey in and out of therapists' offices influenced my decision to become a therapist myself. I had complex trauma from an abusive childhood and could not find the right therapy fit until I tried EMDR therapy. I can honestly say it saved my life and gave me back autonomy.
