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.

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.
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 is extremely patient. He was really interested in listening to your issues and trying to find the cause and the solution. He interacted with an open mind and without any judgement and that really help me to open up my feelings and he was definitely pointing out both my positives and my negatives and in a balanced manner, and that really gave me a good perspective of what is happening? I will definitely recommend Jorge.

Jorge has always responded to my questions and concerns. He would always provide commentary to what I would say and allow me to speak my thoughts whenever I intervene. He’s very patient but still remains determined to help me battle my addiction struggles and he provides me the right encouragement that I can take control of my personal problems
