Getting to know Roberto Cruz

Hi there, I'm Roberto! I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance use, and other life stressors. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, providing clients with practical tools to cope with life's challenges and create lasting change. My approach As a therapist specializing in CBT, I use evidence-based methods to guide my clients in understanding how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. This empowers them to break free from negative patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. My focus I support individuals navigating substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, and other life challenges, including those within the LGBTQ+ community. I work with clients seeking to build resilience, improve their mental health, and manage difficult emotions. I have a strong background in addressing addiction, mood and anxiety disorders, and the unique stressors faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, such as identity struggles, discrimination, and coming out. I'm most comfortable treating conditions like substance use disorders and mood and anxiety disorders, while helping clients work through the intersectional challenges that can arise from being part of a marginalized community. My communication style My communication style blends compassion and directness. I deeply care about my clients and strive to create a supportive, empathetic environment where they feel heard and understood. At the same time, I believe in being honest and clear, especially when helping clients face difficult truths or take actionable steps toward their goals. My approach is collaborative-I'm here to guide you, but I'll also challenge you when needed to help you grow.
