Shaquita Wilson-Cruz

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have experience with various populations to include children, teenagers, and adults. My clinical expertise ranges from mental health conditions including chemical dependency and mood disorders. As a therapist, I find fulfillment in watching patients progress and the insight they can achieve through therapy and healing. Patient education and development of coping skills are essential techniques gained in practice. I believe that you are the pilot of your own plane and I am the flight attendant, who is here to offer support and guidance.

I became a therapist as I believe that everyone should be provided with a safe space to heal, as well as gain knowledge and insight on the impact generational trauma, identity, and family dynamics can impact someone. I believe it is important to look at the whole person and the impact the environment can have on someone on a micro, macro and mezzo level. It is important to me to provide person-centered care, while making trauma-informed treatment as a top priority
