I have over 10 years of experience in Mental Health and Addictions Counseling and have a good understanding of the evidenced based practices that will help you address your trauma, anxiety, depression or problems with alcohol and drugs. I am qualified to guide you in your treatment and my experience has taught me that people can and do get better with help.
My therapy style is supportive and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I believe that you hold the solution within you and are the expert of your own story. Through talk therapy you'll be able to sort out the why of the problem, while also focusing on a sustainable solution. Once again I acknowledge your resilience and courage to reach for help and I am here to support you in achieving a healthier and more fulfilling life.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jorge Cruz. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Jorge is engaging and an incredible listener. He offers advice on processing life’s situations and offers constructive feedback as needed. Journaling is something I’ve never done and each session, we donate a bit of time to reflect on the written words. 10/10 !

Before therapy, I was struggling. Drained, wasn’t sure how to make changes.
George is a great balance of humor, tough love, eye opening statements, and care.
You always have “a-ha!” Moments because he doesn’t interrupt you or say something in the moment and then you finish your story and realize a while after… oh what his point was and I love that!
George has really begun to help me on my healing journey

I've only had a few sessions so far but Jorge has been great at making me feel comfortable. He's the best therapist I've had and a pretty cool guy on top of that.
We are all different but I would recommend giving Jorge a go!

Jorge has been very effective in providing a level of guidance as well as strategies to handle my issues that I've been practicing. He's very easy to talk to and he finds ways to relate with me.
