You deserve to live your best life.

Alicia M. Cruz, LMFT

I’m Alicia, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Connecticut currently serving young adults, adults, and couples. I look forward to meeting you!

1. Are you a young adult who is seeking guidance, inspiration, and tools/resources to help you find and establish your authentic self?

2. Are you an adult who has experienced a variety of life lessons that have left you without a sense of direction? You're ready to redefine who you are and living your truth.

3. Are you a couple committed to your personal growth journey and are ready to embrace growth together?

If any of these apply to you, you’re in the right place!

Working with Me

If you’re worried about feeling seen and understood, put your fears aside because you are in the right place. I personally have been through many difficulties that have impacted my approach to life and therapy. I’ve been married, divorced, in unhealthy relationships, and more. I know what it feels like to hit “rock bottom” and work your way out of it with determination and a plan. Let me guide you in building your self-esteem to help you identify goals, passions, and to become the person you want to be!
