Cruz Yahaira Barrientos, FL LCSW SW25822

I'm a therapist with a decade of experience supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, stress, and addiction, and I'm deeply committed to affirming and culturally responsive care for LGBTQ+ clients.

My work focuses on helping people navigate isolation, loneliness, and social anxiety, as well as supporting women through life transitions and relationship complexities. I also have specialized experience with blended family dynamics, alternative relationship structures, and sexual health concerns including HIV and AIDS-related issues. Additionally, I support individuals working through hoarding behaviors and substance use challenges.

I believe in creating a therapeutic space that honors who you are—your identity, values, and experiences—without judgment. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Whether you're seeking support for mental health concerns, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and authenticity. Taking the step to seek therapy is an act of courage, and I'm honored to be part of your healing journey.
