Isaiah Cruz

I'm a psych NP. I have worked in general psychiatry and addiction medicine. I utilize CBT and motivational interviewing to help inspire change.

I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach to mental health. My primary role as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is to provide thorough psychiatric evaluations and, when indicated, manage medications to help alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life. I see medication as one tool among many, and I am committed to discussing all treatment options with you, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable. Our sessions will be a partnership where we explore your concerns, set achievable goals, and regularly review your progress. I strive to create a supportive and understanding space where you feel empowered in your treatment journey. I often work in conjunction with therapists and am happy to coordinate care to ensure a comprehensive approach to your well-being.

From our sessions, you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of your mental health and the treatment options available. If medication is part of your plan, you will have a clear understanding of how it works, potential benefits, and any side effects, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments as needed. My goal is to help you experience a reduction in distressing symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and feel more empowered and hopeful about your future. Ultimately, I want you to leave our sessions feeling heard, respected, and equipped with the support and knowledge to improve your overall well-being and move towards your personal recovery goals.
