About me

Hi! My name is Monica Cruz. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of Louisiana. I completed my Master's of Social Work at Tulane University in 2008. I have practiced clinical therapy for the past 11 years providing services to a diverse group of individuals and couples from a variety of different cultural backgrounds. I have helped many couples work through their issues with great success. I understand how difficult relationships can become and will work to help you and your significant other formulate and execute a plan to mend any issues you may be going through. I pride myself on maintaining an objective and "judge free zone". You are taking the first critical step towards positive change in your relationship. Together we can figure it out!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Monica Cruz. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

I feel like Monica hears me! I have only ever found 1( One) other therapist that I felt that way about and she transitioned 20 years ago.
I truly feel like Monica sees me and hears me( and us) and that is priceless, especially with couples therapy. I have Hope for the first time in too many years and that makes my heart lighter. Trust feels possible again.
She’s easygoing yet straight forward, knowledgeable, validating and compassionate All at the same time!
I am grateful.
