Eating Disorder, OCD, & Emotion Dysregulation Therapy Throughout California

Practical, Evidence-Based Therapy For Meaningful Change

Welcome to Cruz Psychology!

At Cruz Psychology, I believe meaningful change starts with feeling understood. I strive to create a space where adolescents, young adults, and families from throughout California feel accepted, supported, and empowered to move toward the life they want.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychotherapy that connects understanding with practical tools for everyday life. Whether you’re navigating an eating disorder, anxiety, OCD, intense emotions, suicidality, or self-harm, therapy should feel collaborative, approachable, and tailored to you.

I believe in meeting people where they are while helping them build the skills, confidence, and support they need to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.

Cruz Psychology provides secure telehealth psychotherapy for adolescents, young adults, and families throughout California. Secure telehealth makes it easier to access specialized care from the comfort of your own home. I believe therapy should fit into your life, not create another barrier to it. Telehealth allows me to provide consistent, personalized support while meeting clients where they are, wherever they are in their state.

  • "Eating disorders are incredibly complicated, difficult neuropsychiatric illnesses that require truly professional expertise to navigate. That is exactly what CJ is providing us. She has been an invaluable lifeline for my daughter, who has struggled with an eating disorder and social anxiety. Throughout our time working with her, CJ has been exceptionally accessible, caring, compassionate, and professional. She didn’t just support my daughter; she supported me as a parent navigating this challenging journey. I am, and will be, eternally grateful that my daughter has CJ as her therapist. If you are looking for someone with genuine expertise and a deeply compassionate heart, I cannot recommend CJ highly enough."
