Ramiro Cruz, LPC

I have provided outpatient counseling for over 11 years and truly enjoy helping people work through life’s challenges. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families to build healthier coping skills and reach personal goals. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood.

My counseling style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when we communicate openly and honestly while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I will listen without judgment, offer support and encouragement, and help you identify practical ways to work toward your goals. My hope is that you feel comfortable being yourself and know your concerns are taken seriously.

I begin by getting to know you and understanding your history, current concerns, and goals during the initial session. Together, we identify what you would like to address and develop an individualized treatment plan that fits your needs and goals. Throughout therapy, I check in regularly on your progress and adjust our approach as needed so treatment remains helpful and meaningful.

I tailor treatment to your individual needs using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Brainspotting.

I begin by learning about your history, concerns, and fears and by listening closely to your needs. Together, we set realistic goals and create a treatment plan with clear boundaries.

In the first session, I create a welcoming space to discuss challenges, goals, and personal history, reviewing confidentiality and treatment structure. Together, the patient and I develop a personalized plan. Ongoing sessions focus on exploring thoughts and feelings, identifying patterns, and practicing skills to support meaningful change, with regular goal review and reflection on progress.

I completed my internship at Seton Medical Center, gaining experience in the emergency room and specialty clinics.

I advocate a holistic approach when working with clients and incorporate various treatment styles including, but not limited to, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, solution-focused, and psychodynamic.

I specialize in individual therapy with an emphasis on issues such as PTSD, autism, stress, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, women's issues, family/relationship issues, life transitions, and personal growth. I especially enjoy working with young adults and am committed to working with each person in a confidential, effective manner to help the individual accomplish his/her/their goals.

Patients can expect to feel heard, supported, and encouraged as they work toward their wellness goals. I begin by developing rapport and gaining a thorough understanding of each patient's history. Together, we identify where the patient is now and where they want to be. I create individualized treatment plans, revisiting and adjusting them as needed to align with evolving goals and promote lasting progress.

Each month, I help patients set three short-term goals, reflect on accomplishments, and note things they are grateful for, supporting growth, self-awareness, and emotional balance. During the first session, I discuss the reasons for seeking therapy, preferred treatment approaches, and session frequency. I provide homework and clear follow-up focus points, drawing from Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused therapies.
