Katie CruzClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW (she, her)

About

I help with anxiety, family conflict, first-generation student challenges, identity and self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship dynamics. In our sessions, I take a strengths-based approach because I believe you know your life better than anyone else. We'll explore techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, and I will serve as a support guide, emphasizing your inherent strengths and talents you naturally possess to help you face challenges and grow. Together, we will work toward overcoming difficulties and making meaningful, positive shifts in your life. Beyond being a therapist, I am an avid reader, museum enthusiast, yoga practitioner, and amateur ceramics maker. As a Santa Barbara native, it is in my nature to love walking on the beautiful beaches and mountains.
