Jessica Wolanski
Delaware, New Jersey
I am a Delaware native. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Wilmington University with a Certificate in Trauma Informed Care. I am currently interning to complete my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the same university. I am passionate about the community, and have spent the last five years volunteering counseling services to at risk youth, and outreaching to people who struggle with substance use disorder. Additionally, I volunteer with the Delaware Medical Reserve Corp where I take specialized training on community disaster response.
I favor a humanistic/existential approach integrated with cognitive behavioral practices. Counseling is a place to build a therapeutic bond and learn actionable skills to improve. I strive to embody the principles of unconditional positive regard, and non-judgement. I firmly believe that no treatment is one-size-fits all. The client is always the expert on themselves, and I am a guide through the calamities; together we walk through the storm. I am open to creatively approaching scenarios, and trying unconventional outlets.
Outside of my counseling career, I’ve spent six years in banking. I find joy in helping people build a plan to navigate financial goals. Prior to that, I worked in the nursing field in long term care for dementia residents. I have a special place in my heart for those who are memory impaired. I have seen first hand, as a family member and as a professional, the impact dementia related diseases can have.
In my free-time, you can find me having fun at Jiu Jitsu, baking (and sometimes burning) an array of desserts, hanging out with my two dogs, or reading (I am a bit of a nerd).
Susan Cruz

I hail from New Jersey where I earned my Bachelors in Social Work from Stockton University. I went on to receive my Masters in Social Work from Temple University in 1999. I have been working with children, adolescents and adults throughout my entire career. I have extensive experience in child and adolescent trauma, anxiety, self-image and stress reduction. I enjoy empowering individuals towards growth whether that be in their careers, or relationships. I spent many years working in the school setting, including elementary, middle, high school and college. When I am not working, you can find me hanging outside hiking, biking and doing anything outdoorsy. I am an avid pet lover and have 2 pups of my own! I have a large family, family to me is always a top priority. I understand the value of family, and customs, but futher understand and advocate for self-care in order to care-take for others. I have a passion for guiding individuals and empowering them with evidence-based skills to reach their goal. Whether a client is 7 or 70, each individuals has an idea, a goal, that can be reached. As an individual with over 20 years experience, I am confident in my abilities to customize skills, and help clients reach their goals in a way that honors their beliefs and their cultural experiences.

"It is my belief that brain function is clinically relevant when discussing mental health, and am prepared to discuss hypotheses about the biological aspects of mental illness. Along with this, am prepared to use a variety of methods and styles in therapy. I tend to think therapy in parallel with a tailor, with a focus on the client and individually tailor different treatment modalities to fit their need. I have extensive experience with mental health disorders, addiction, and dual diagnosis/co-occuring.
A compassion infused individualized integrative approach to an individuals composite wellness: balancing one's mind, body, and soul.
As an accredited supervisor I will do everything in my power to maintain my licensure and certifications, modeling behaviors and ideologies that serve the foundation of this practice. In doing so, I will do everything to establish a relationship founded in trust and open communication."

"One of the most courageous things we can do is to begin to understand our own story. What often precedes healing, however, is profound confusion and discomfort which deters us from delving deeper within. The process of growth is often accompanied by fear of the unknown and thus, can appear a daunting task. But you are not alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you come to know yourself and navigate the path to a happier, healthier life. More importantly, what are your goals? What makes you feel safe? Therapy strengthens our insight by compassionately confronting us with the questions we have never dared to ask ourselves before.
Applying empowerment and self- determination, I engage and motivate my clients to tap into their own resilience and inner-strength. I incorporate evidence-based practice techniques from modalities of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in my practice in order to address your individual needs.
If you are looking to conquer the obstacles that stand in the way of the fulfilling and meaningful life that you deserve, I encourage you to seek support outside of yourself. Together, we can embark on the journey to serenity, self-discovery and personal growth that awaits you."
