I utilize a variety of frameworks in order to optimize and individualize care. Although the lens I use is primarily psychodynamic psychotherapy, which will help you to become more self-aware and understand how your behavior is influenced by your environment and your temperament, I also use some cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques as needed. Where medication can help, we can consider that option together. I consider ongoing therapy as an important part of optimizing any treatment with medication that can change your mood or behavior. Please be aware that Dr. Cruz is no longer accepting patients for medication only.
