Samantha Cruz, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern

My ideal clients are adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, emotional regulation, self-esteem, academic stress, or relationship challenges. I also enjoy supporting those balancing family expectations, cultural values, and their developing identities. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and comfortable being themselves. Together, we build on their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and identify meaningful, achievable steps toward growth and greater well-being.
