Destinee De La Cruz

I’m Destinee, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in NYC, and I’m passionate about helping clients move from confusion and self-doubt to clarity and empowerment. I bring warmth, insight, and nonjudgmental support into each session, creating space for you to explore who you are and what you truly need. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, life transitions, neurodiversity, and women navigating identity, self-worth, and emotional overwhelm. If you're feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected from yourself — you're not alone, and I’m here to walk with you through it.

My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and grounded in both evidence-based practices and emotional intuition. I use tools from CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy, but tailor each session to your unique needs. I view therapy as a collaborative space — a place where you can slow down, feel safe, and begin to understand the deeper layers of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Whether we’re exploring the root of your anxiety or reconnecting you with your inner voice, I aim to hold space that’s empowering, honest, and deeply supportive.

You can expect to leave our sessions feeling more grounded, self-aware, and emotionally equipped to navigate life. Many of my clients walk away with greater clarity about their values, healthier boundaries, tools for managing anxiety or overwhelm, and a renewed sense of self. Beyond symptom relief, my goal is to help you feel more like you — confident in your truth, secure in your choices, and aligned with the life you’re building.
