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.
Many people come to therapy carrying pain that is difficult to put into words. You may understand why you're struggling, yet still find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling stuck in painful relationships, grieving losses, or wondering why lasting change feels out of reach. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, infertility, trauma, stress, family concerns, maternal mental health challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful people who want more than temporary relief, they want to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we'll explore the experiences, relationships, and emotional patterns that have shaped your life while building greater self-awareness and self-compassion. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that feels more connected, purposeful, and authentic.
I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 28 years. I have worked in a Foster Care agency, as a Clinical Supervisor at a Children's Clinic in East LA and at a Drug, Alcohol, and Mental Health Facility. I also provided therapy for our military.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Los Angeles
Finding family therapists in Los Angeles starts with identifying what your family wants support with and what kind of therapist is trained for that work. Family therapy may help with parenting conflict, adolescent concerns, blended family dynamics, communication challenges, or stress across generations. Family therapists, including marriage and family therapists, are trained to work with the relational system, rather than focusing only on one person. As you compare profiles, look for experience with your family’s specific needs, such as parent-child relationships, sibling conflict, school-related concerns, or life transitions.
Los Angeles has many therapists across neighborhoods like Silver Lake, Long Beach, Pasadena, West LA, and the San Fernando Valley, so the number of options can make the search harder to narrow. Consider whether in-person sessions fit your commute, parking needs, and schedule, or whether virtual appointments make it easier for family members in different locations to attend. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups within the family, or individual members at different points. Reading therapist bios can help you understand session structure, communication style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.
Family counseling in Los Angeles can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who offer family counseling in Los Angeles and have current availability. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway. You can compare bios, filter by what matters to you, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
