Melissa Cruz

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out trying to manage everything? You’re not alone. I work with clients facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, and self-esteem or body image concerns. I proudly support LGBTQIA+ clients in a safe, affirming space. Using DBT, cognitive, and person-centered approaches, I help you understand patterns, build practical skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I help clients create meaningful change through a collaborative approach, focusing on skills and strategies that work for them. I also provide specialized ADHD evaluations. My goal is to empower you to understand yourself better and feel more confident in daily life. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or a return visit, choosing to prioritize your well-being is meaningful. If my approach feels like a good fit, I’d be glad to support you on your journey toward clarity, growth, and balance. Specialties: Many of my clients struggle with depression, anxiety, neurodiversity, or want to better understand their gender/sexuality. During our initial sessions, we will explore your current issues, past history, and identify your goals for therapy. Many of my clients feel that the combination of exploring their challenges and learning new skills helps to relieve their symptoms. Credentials & Experience: I have over 8 years working with a range of mental health needs. I am trained in CBT, CIFFTA, Interpersonal Therapy and EFT Tapping. I am licensed in the state of FL and certified in DBT.
