Our symptoms have something to say. Different symptoms bring people into psychotherapy: anxiousness, chronic sadness, creative and artistic block, loneliness, addictions, sexual obsessions. Symptoms are a language, and though they are often labeled as depression or anxiety, the meaning of a symptom is unique to the person who suffers with it. Symptoms are painful, but they are also startlingly creative, personal and specific. Sometimes the body is asked to express the scary, painful things that words cannot. When physical symptoms occur without a medical explanation, we can look to them to help us understand the mental and emotional landscape.

A basic theme in behavior can be viewed as a directional thought process. If we think it, believe it, we can become it. This thought process can apply to how one handles a problem. There are times that problems interfere with daily life in such a way that it grows into an overwhelming place of emotional discord in our personal and/or professional lives. Stress, anxiety, depression, and premarital/marital issues can be metaphorically high on the Richter scale for mental health therapy. These factors can also be connected to deeper issues related to human behavior. Welcome services are provided for individuals, couples, and families.

Hello! My name is Yelitza Cruz-Cubano (CC). I am a bilingual (fluent in Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am currently working towards becoming a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) under the supervision of James Carroll. As an Army brat and Air Force veteran I had the opportunity to travel and get to know different cultures, places and people. I started a new journey in the beautiful Saint Louis area and decided to pursue counseling with the desire to continue serving my community through enriching and uplifting others.

When working with clients, I strive to make the therapeutic experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. I believe that through talking and building a good connection, we can develop your therapeutic goals, and create a successful and obtainable plan. My work is focused around the ages 20-65, when personal goal, and family dynamics are constantly shifting and new roles are developing. This can feel very overwhelming, scary, and sometimes hopeless. You do not have to do this alone! We will work together around the topics of parenting, anxiety/depression, trauma/abuse, school/college, grief/life changes, or areas of interest.

I provide services that strengthen individuals, couples, families, and adolescents.

Everyone deserves to have a place where they can just let it all out and not care one bit what the person across from them thinks. Clients often come to me with insecurities, low self-esteem, battling with depression, simply feeling beat up by life. I work to provide individuals, families and couples with a safe, confidential and empathetic environment where they can feel comfortable telling their truth. I am passionate about helping individuals identify the barriers preventing them from finding their life’s purpose and achieving goals they set for themselves. The therapeutic process is very difficult, as it presents many unknowns.

Are you feeling lost or unsure where to start? Or maybe you've been on your journey for some time and feel like you've tried everything. Do you feel like you've lost a part of you and aren't sure how to cope with it? I understand that starting and maintaining your healing journey can feel confusing or overwhelming. Let's take a deep breath and take that next step toward healing.

I am a hardworking and empathetic registered play therapist. I work with children of all ages on a variety of concerns. I am dedicated to being a support to both children and their families.
