Michelle Kruz, Art Therapist and Clinical Psychologist

My clients describe me as:

Welcome! My name is Michelle, and I'm a dual-licensed mental health clinician specializing in Art Therapy and Psychology.

Something to know about my approach is:

I practice from the humanistic approach and focus my treatment on person-centered, holistic care. I use evidence based techniques such as ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, and Clinical Behavior Analysis to promote healing, adaptation, and growth.

Together, we will:

Create a treatment plan tailored to your specific hopes, needs, and goals. We will engage in self-discovery and work to heal traumas, decrease distress, adapt behaviors, set/maintain boundaries, and discover new skills that you can use everyday.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are struggling with life transitions/changes, anxiety, depression, trauma, and external/internal conflict. In treatment I can help you resolve concerns, change behavior patterns, and problem solve barriers, to improve your quality of life.

I became a therapist because:

Life can be messy and unexpected and I want to help people address life's hardships so they can lead unburdened, stress-free, balanced lives.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer art therapy as well as psychotherapy. This can be a new way for people to address concerns and process things that are hard to put into words.

More about me and my practice:

I offer a safe, judgment free space, where you voice your thoughts, fears, and feelings, openly and authentically. My overall mission is to help you navigate the path of mental wellness while empowering you to author your unique story.
