Nayeli Cruz, LCSW

I am an experienced BILINGUAL social worker turned therapist as a licensed clinical social worker serving the Central Valley. With a background in both medical and behavioral health settings, I have a particular PASSION for supporting teens and women. My approach is grounded in cultural humility, compassion, and respect for the diverse experiences of individuals from multicultural and multiethnic communities.

I strive to provide a SUPPORTIVE and EMPOWERING space where clients can gain deeper self-awareness, build confidence and resilience, strengthen their sense of autonomy and overall well-being, and develop healthier coping strategies for managing life’s challenges. Through a COLLABORATIVE and PERSONALIZED approach, I help clients improve emotional regulation, navigate difficult transitions, and move toward meaningful and lasting growth.

Outside of therapy, I am a BUSY MOM who enjoys cooking homemade meals whenever possible, hosting a good summer BBQ, and traveling to new destinations from time to time to decompress, recharge, and create meaningful experiences with loved ones.
