Getting to know Michelle Cruz
Hello, I am Michelle Cruz.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 5 years of experience providing person-centered and person-specific therapy to clients in need.
I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands and am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Integrative Medicine at Quantum University. Since then, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling skills and a deep understanding of interpersonal and familial relationships. I have experience guiding clients through trauma-based therapy, EMDR, CBT, and DBT. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy, I support and assist those willing to make positive changes in their lives. I pride myself on providing a safe and supportive space where we can work side by side to overcome traumas and barriers. I specialize in addressing life stressors, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and panic. I am fully committed to listening and offering my best professional practices to help you.
I follow a person-specific approach that considers the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. You can count on my empathetic and person-centered approach in every conversation we share.
Thank you for taking the first step and allowing me to be part of this important journey. I look forward to meeting you!

I've only been working with Michelle for two weeks but I already feel comfortable and validated by her. She has sent worksheets that have helped immensely and has a flexible schedule.

Michelle really knows how to challenge me during our sessions and when I’m out of line, she’s not afraid to say something. I could not think more highly of her.
