Hola, Soy Christina Zapata, mi pronombre es ella. Hello, I'm Christina Zapata, my pronouns are she and her. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), bi-and pan cultural. My professional training is in clinical social work. I started out in depth-oriented psychotherapy in 2012, moved to family work with foster and adoptive families in the middle part of my career and have returned to psychodynamic, systems-oriented psychotherapy with individuals and families since 2017. I have experience working with Transgender individuals, those in current or former relationships where intimate partner violence is present, foster and adopted youth, and Spanish speaking political and economic refugees and immigrants. I am trained in EMDR. I have undertaken a three year grief training to help people stay connected to, sit with and move through pain. More recently, I am adding to my practice work around supporting individuals who are experiencing stress and confusion in their workplace.

I strive to create a comfortable environment where you feel safe to be your true self. Im here as a trusted partner that you can confide in, but also to challenge you and help you grow. I often will give you homework/activities /reflections/ to focus on in-between sessions.

Welcome—glad you made it here!

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience in crisis mental health and private practice. I help adults and adolescents work through anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship challenges. I understand the impact of high-stress roles where you’re expected to stay in control, even when things build up over time. My style is direct, grounded, and focused on what actually works in real life. I provide a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and be challenged in a way that leads to real change.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—whether from past trauma, grief, or relationship challenges—you’re not alone, and change is possible. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults of all ages who are navigating trauma, relational rupture, and loss.

I have been in mental health since 2014 and in general healthcare since 1993. I enjoy working with clients of all ages. The clients that tend to gravitate towards my practice are female-presenting, neurodivergent, and families with children with behavioral challenges. I have a vast experience/knowledge base in mental health having worked in community agencies, private practice, school therapy (specifically IEP-related therapy), court- and CPS-involved cases, running groups, and working both on adolescent and adult psychiatric inpatient units. I offer a complementary brief meet and greet before scheduling the first appointment so my clients/families can ask me questions and see if my practice is a good fit for them. I also have a trauma treatment background with certification - trauma comes up in a lot of my work with clients even if that is not what led to starting therapy.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m Maria Zavala, a Bilingual/Bicultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, identity exploration, and emotional challenges, with a strong focus on culturally responsive care. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, grounded, and safe while we gently explore what’s been weighing on you and begin creating a path forward that feels authentic, steady, and truly yours.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Sonoma County with six years of clinical experience working with young people and families. I've worked across a range of settings including intensive residential treatment, county behavioral health, and outpatient care, and I bring that breadth of experience into my private practice. I specialize in working with preteens, teens, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, family conflict, and life transitions. I also work with couples on a private pay basis.

Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.

Most of us would like to feel closer to those we love and overcome obstacles to personal growth. However, we often get stuck in patterns of relating and behaviors that fall short of what we truly desire. My passion is to see people find healing and experience growth as individuals and in their personal relationships.

Are you anxious, troubled, stuck, weighed down? I believe that you have the inner strength and power to live your best life. But it is hard to be hopeful when you feel trapped by old patterns. That’s where our work together begins. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and creative process. My goal is to help you feel better in the present, while finding deeper insight and lasting change for the future. My style is warm, supportive, interactive, and sometimes humorous. I will adapt our work to meet your unique needs and goals. I believe that the relationship we build in therapy is the foundation for healing and change.

Healing happens in relationships, and I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, focusing on the whole family system. When one person struggles, it affects everyone. My approach is collaborative, relational, and strengths-based, prioritizing a safe space, unconditional positive regard, and a strong therapeutic alliance. I work with toddlers, children, adolescents, adults, parents, couples, and families. I help families navigate emotional and behavioral challenges and individuals seeking growth, connection, and healing.

I treat ADHD, OCD, Anxiety & Depression, Emotional Dysregulation & Adjustment Issues. I offer Child-Centered Play Therapy, Filial Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy for Goal-Oriented Change, Parent Support, & Family Therapy.

Every child deserves to feel seen, every parent deserves support, and every person deserves a space of hope and growth. Let’s work together to create lasting change.

I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, integrative mental health care for children, teens, adults and older folks. My approach combines evidence-based medicine with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed therapy. I integrative treatment modalities such as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR and play/art/pet therapy. The care you will receive is collaborative, calming, and deeply human as we underlying patterns and life experiences that shape well-being.

Taking the step to seek out therapy can feel scary. You may even be wondering, "how can therapy help?" But feeling alone and overwhelmed with trying to "do it alone" simply isn't working. Welcome...I am so glad you're here. I offer a safe, warm, empathic space to explore what's going on in your life. I help people feel less alone and more able to move through their challenges by bringing curiosity, care and compassion to the work of therapy.

Life is a lot right now. Work stress, family stress, parenting stress, political stress, economic stress. Together, we will chart the path forward to help you feel more like yourself.

I have been a therapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) for 11 years and am constantly amazed at the resilience of the human spirit.

Hi! I’m Reina and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m also a Bay Area native, an unapologetic cat lover, a self proclaimed expert of silly reality tv shows, and mom to a sweet, silly little 5 year old.

I work with awesome, fierce women at various stages of motherhood who look like they have it all together on the outside but internally feel like they're consumed with spinning thoughts and worry they're doing it all wrong.
