I have experience in treating women's issues , body image, self-esteem, communication, gender and sexuality, eating disorders, learning disorders, life transitions, stress management, and women's issues .
I aim to support my clients through different transitions and stages throughout their lives. With all the information we are constantly taking in, it is easy to lose ourselves or feel stuck in different versions of our stories. As a result, this can leave us feeling an array of different emotions and confused on where to start. However, the great thing about feeling lost is that it gives us the opportunity to find ourselves again. My goal is to help you disentangle yourself from those stories and embrace all the parts of your own, by reclaiming the authors pen and adding chapters towards telling a story that feels authentically you

I specialize in anxiety, depression, coping skills, relationship issues, peer relationships, school issues, and women's issues , but I can help with all of them.
I believe therapy is only successful through a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship. It is my goal to establish that relationship quickly so that progress can be made toward one's goals. Empathy, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard are key to establishing that trust. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, teenagers, and adults in a variety of therapeutic settings. I utilize cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and relational modalities to facilitate change and growth.

Additionally, I specialize in working with college aged adults, BIPOC individuals, women's issues , motherhood, and overcoming divorce.
Context plays an important role in every individual's life. Together we will take time to learn about your past experiences, worldview, past relationships, demographics, and history because these factors inform and impact your current life situation and presenting problems. The symptoms of the pain we've experienced can become overwhelming and disruptive. As your therapist, I will provide a safe and comfortable space where we can explore and manage your symptoms, while also be curious, reflective, and learn how to navigate through your life in a way that feels most true and genuine for you.

I use GIM to address women's issues , parenting, codependency, grief and loss, and women in recovery.
I am excited about clients who want to enrich both their inner and outer lives. You may find yourself at times confused, angry, depressed, or anxious, when what you want is greater clarity, more joy and happiness, and greater peace of mind both in relationship to self and others. I use Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) in my work with clients to tap into their own deep knowing and healing nature, which sometimes gets buried deep within. With music and imagery, a gentle recovery of self in initiated and stimulated. I love working with female adolescents, young college students, parents, and women of all ages.

I support folks who consistently find themselves burnt out, stuck in the cycle of taking care of or people pleasing others. I see you! You deserve a space to be heard and seen. The patterns of shrinking yourself, defaulting to others' needs or maybe even "hiding" your true selves is not only exhausting but extremely unfulfilling. Together we will restore back the connection to your body to reclaim self-awareness, self-agency, and self-compassion.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Is the journey to motherhood not what you expected? Becoming a mom can be overwhelming, exhausting and leave you feeling anxious, depressed, isolated and even disconnected from your partner. When the rest of the world expects us to be basking in the glow of motherhood and reminds us to cherish every moment it can be especially hard to admit we're having a difficult time staying afloat. You are not alone. Twenty percent of new moms experience significant mood disturbance and 67% of couples report a significant decrease is martial satisfaction after the birth of a child.

Are you finding yourself starting over, and finding it difficult to adjust to your new way of life. Does it feel hard to move forward and feels like your dragging your feet. Maybe you are in the middle of a divorce or break-up. All of these changes can be difficult to manage on your own. The intense feelings can be depression, anxiety, fear of the unknown, loneliness, struggling to make new connections, sabotaging your chances of love/friendships, and sense of loss. The experience can make you feel worthless, unloved, unseen and feeling like a failure.

We all deserve to feel good about our selves. We all deserve to be listened to. Therapy is a catalyst for change. Patterns are identified; negative thinking patterns and core negative thoughts, that hold you back, are exposed and challenged. The environment is safe and nonjudgemental. It is a collaborative experience. There are new ways of looking at things, and with it a stronger sense of self and personal power.

Therapy is a place where you will find a supportive environment for your journey, a space that allows for you to seek out the insight and growth that you may be searching for. Often we already have the tools that we need, and can benefit from exploring our thoughts and feelings with someone who can support us on this journey.

I support couples in moving from disconnection to connection. I work with couples who lack emotional intimacy, have recurring conflicts, no physical affection, have communication issues, and feel frustrated. My treatment approach is through a blend of Energy Psychology, Imago Relationship, and Somatic Therapy. My goal is to turn negativity and conflict into opportunities for growth and healing. I assist couples in understanding their early childhood attachment and how it currently affects them, communicate with compassion, react to conflict with curiosity rather than judgment, and learn to rekindle the passion.

The beauty and reward as a therapist is the opportunity to sit with someone in their darkest, most troubling places and reassure them that they aren’t alone while providing the support and encouragement they need to understand that healing is possible. If you are in need of a safe space and listening ear with a compassionate, down to earth, encouraging person ready to walk with you as you gain freedom from cycles of trauma and pain, I am the person for you. My biggest joy is bearing witness to my clients finding what they lost in the fire and empowering them to be restored in new & unimaginable ways.

You’re feeling worried, stressed, and overwhelmed with the day-to-day hustle of life, and you feel like you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You look like you've got it all together on the outside, but you’re struggling to feel like you’re enough on the inside. You're trying your best to hold it together, but you’re exhausted. It feels like no matter what you do, life still feels all over the place. You're ready to press the pause button and tend to yourself - to get to know how you feel, to think about what you want, and to make choices that serve your well-being. You're ready to make some changes but not sure how.

I’m Dr. Christina Zavalza, a licensed clinical psychologist. I believe we are in an era of empowering ourselves unlike any we have seen before. We are becoming more aware of personal, social and cultural issues that can make it difficult to become our best and most powerful selves. Some of the issues we deal with today include trying to overcome trauma, navigating social expectations, balancing needs in relationships with taking care of ourselves, and ultimately wanting to feel empowered and whole in our homes, educational settings, workplace, and communities.

Women's Issues Therapists

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?

Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?

Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
