About

Emily Cross MFT
 Hi there, my name is Emily Cross and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing services in Aptos, California.  

I have a deep knowledge and skill in CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and love implementing these tools in session. It is much like skill-building and learning new behaviors and habits to change your life.  I also love Attachment theory and Polyvagal theory.  This is a strategy that helps caregivers become empowered to work with their kids. 
 
My heart hurts for the hurting kids out there.  I would love to help your child navigate their big emotions but I strongly believe in including the parent in this process.   I care about helping parents help their hurting children. 
 
I also have many years working with people with depression and suicidality.  While my practice is only open on a limited basis right now, I am unable to see anyone who is actively suicidal.  But I am able to see someone struggling with depression. 

 
 I am a Christian and have worked with people from all faiths or religion and I do not impose my beliefs in session. Faith is integrated in session if requested. 

I love being a mama and am currently homeschooling my two boys.  I love  nature, the outdoors, flowers and the ocean. I also have a passion for children's literature.  I have been married since 2003 to my darling husband.
