About Me

━━━

Welcome! I'm Cristina Zertuche, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW),

and I'm so glad you're considering taking the next step toward healing.

Life can be difficult, and asking for help may feel overwhelming, but you've already made an important choice to prioritize your mental wellness.

Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you’ve seen its benefits before, I’m here to support you in navigating challenges and finding strength and balance in your life.

My practice focus is in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, caregiver stress, and emotional exhaustion.

I am also a proud U.S. Army Veteran, and my experiences in service have shaped my commitment to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for every client I work with.

Mission & Vision


My mission is to support the whole person through an integrative approach to mental wellness, fostering long-term healing and growth. I am dedicated to creating a sanctuary for expression, where individuals feel seen and heard, providing a strong foundation for their healing journey.
