About

Hi! My name is Brittney Cruz. I recently moved to Texas and I am licensed in Texas and New York. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward self-understanding and overcoming life's many challenges. As a clinician, I believe in creating a secure and collaborative space where you feel empowered to create meaningful changes. My goal in partnering with you will be to help you build on your strengths, build resilience and confidence as you move through life. I believe that everyone's journey is unique and I am committed to help find what best works for you.

Education & Licensure
Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Nyack University; Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Nyack University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with autistic adults comes from helping individuals better understand themselves and recognize that the challenges they face do not have to feel like mountains, but rather hurdles that can be navigated with the right support and tools. I am continually inspired by the creativity, resilience, and unique perspectives of the autistic community, and I strive to provide care that honors and supports each person’s individual experiences. My goal is to help clients develop skills, build on their strengths, and navigate daily life and relationships in ways that align with their needs, values, and goals. Together, we can work toward a life where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to thrive.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

In my approach, I prioritize understanding your lived experiences and use that understanding to guide our work together so you feel heard, supported, and encouraged. I believe you are never starting from zero and that you already possess strengths, abilities, and resources that can support growth and help you work toward your personal goals. I listen with curiosity and intention, validate your experiences and strive to create a safe space where you can express yourself authentically.
