About Us

My name is Dr. Angie Cruz. I’m a licensed clinical social worker based in Riverside, California. I support children and families navigating the pain of loss, helping them rebuild a sense of meaning, connection, and emotional safety along the way.

I come to this work not only as a clinician but with my own childhood grief story. My narrative continues to inform how I hold space for others in their grief stories. 

With over 15 years of experience, I offer support that blends professional insight with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and lived understanding.

Loss y Luz 4 Kids was created to be a safe place for grieving children. A space for emotion, identity, and healing in ways that are developmentally and culturally responsive. I draw from both evidence-based practices and cultural traditions to help children and families move forward without feeling rushed, alone, or misunderstood. 

I offer virtual and in-person sessions, and I welcome families from all walks of life. If you’re looking for support for your child or just need someone to talk to about what comes next, I’m here.
