Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a clinical team member at Idit Sharoni - Relationship Experts.
Meet Ana De la cruz
I believe that the building blocks of a healthy happy society are healthy and happy Marriages.
I like to use a variety of family therapy approaches, such as Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and the Gottman method to provide proper interventions specific to my clients' needs.
I believe that the building blocks of a healthy happy society are healthy and happy Marriages. If a couple is happy, they will raise happy children, happy children will become happy adults who will form a happy society from which everyone can benefit.
My Clinical Approach
I have extensive experience working with couples who have issues related to trust, intimacy, communication, infidelity, parenting, and conflict. My passion is to help people lead healthy happy lives with their loved ones.
My experience includes working with individual adults, couples, and children from different backgrounds. I am able to provide therapy in English and Spanish.
i love helping couples with:
communication issues
For couples experiencing constant arguments/fights ending in no resolution. Transform the way you communicate and handle conflict with our tools.
premarital counseling
For engaged couples who want tools to make their marriage work and thrive. Learn how to survive the 1st year of marriage and have many great ones after.
affair recovery
For couples in the aftermath of infidelity who want to heal and rebuild trust. I offer a structured roadmap to healing with all the important steps.
In addition to working with couples, I also specialized in Applied Behavioral Analysis as a Lead Analyst. I work directly with families who have children in the spectrum of Autism and other behavioral disorders. I have been able to help several children in my community achieve their highest potential through the creations and implementations of behavioral modification programs.
I like to work directly with the entire family (parents, siblings, and caretakers) and train each one of them at their own level to help my client succeed.
My education includes a Master of Science in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. A Master Level certificate from the University of Spain in Applied Behavioral analysis and several certifications in Domestic violence preventions and crisis intervention.
My work at M.U.J.E.R shaped my perspective on how often physical and emotional abuse occurs in couples. Many of these couples went on to get remarried and continued to carry the traumatic experience into their new relationship which led to several struggles into their new marriage including abuse. I became an expert in recognizing emotional and physical abuse through a series of assessments. In My current work with couples who are struggling with their relationship, I am able to identify with ease abusive communication patterns and create interventions that lead to long term success.
When I am not doing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my three children and my husband. I love traveling and trying new foods. I also volunteer my time at my local church guiding seminars on building effective communication skills, conflict resolutions and stress management skills to couples and single parents.
Before working with clients in private practice, I spent several years working for M.U.J.E.R, a nonprofit organization that helps families who have been victims of domestic violence.

As a therapist in the last 10 years I have been able to be part of people's toughest moments in life, times when they needed guidance and support.
And although not all stories are success stories, I have to say that I have been blessed to be able to see the light at the end of many tunnels.
I would be thrilled to walk with you in your Journey.
