Virginia Cruz
I graduated from the University of Texas where I completed an intensive internship at the counseling and mental health center at UT. I have training in acudetox (auricular acupuncture), mindfulness practice, neurobiology, couples counseling, trauma, and sex therapy. I've worked in private practice, college counselor, as a counselor at a methadone clinic working with opioid addictions and as a program counselor leading intensive outpatient groups for substance abuse and chemical dependency. Relationships are an integral part of what it means to be human. Much of my work is based in relational and attachment theory. As you grow and develop a healthy relationship with yourself, by fostering your own well-being, you also gain tools to build healthier and more vibrant relationships. The therapeutic relationship itself can be one of great value and full of healing potential. My work is based on two core concepts: mindfulness and self-compassion. While working in the here-and-now, we are able to tolerate and hold onto uncomfortable emotions that we may often push aside as unfavorable or unnecessary, such as anger, sadness, and fear. Self-compassion, the other central concept in my work, focuses on how we may respond to these emotions with loving-kindness for ourselves.
