I am passionate of all things mental health! I enjoy working in crisis situations, and supporting individuals going through the ups and lows of life. My goal is to sprinkle confidence and joy into life
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Modesto, CA
Searching for family therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships within a family system. Family therapy may help families work through parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and stress across generations. As you compare Modesto therapists, look for a therapist whose profile lists family therapy experience, relevant approaches, and the concerns your family wants to address.
In a mid-sized city like Modesto, your options may include local office visits, virtual appointments, or a mix of both. Some family therapy sessions include the full family, while others may include parents, caregivers, siblings, or individual family members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for session structure, appointment availability, and communication style. A free phone consultation can also help you ask how they typically guide family sessions.
Therapy in Modesto can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support more affordable. Headway helps you find family therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, estimate your out-of-pocket cost before you book, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, review availability, 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.
