About Jonnet Cruz

Jonnet Cruz (pronounced Jonay) is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with two decades of clinical experience. She holds the LMFT credential, which indicates she is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families on relational and emotional concerns. Over 20 years she has supported children and teens, families, couples, adults, active duty service members, and veterans through challenges such as stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, motivation struggles, and low self-esteem.

Jonnet approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to meet life’s difficulties. Her practice draws on a range of therapeutic methods, including EMDR to address traumatic memories, Internal Family Systems to explore inner parts and roles, attachment-based work to repair relational patterns, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical strategies for emotional regulation, and narrative therapy to reframe personal meaning.

She blends these tools to create individualized plans that honor clients’ goals and lived experience, aiming to build resilience, improve relationships, and increase confidence in navigating change and recovery.
