Welcome! I'm Cristina Zertuche, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I'm so glad you're considering taking the first 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.

I specialize in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, caregiver stress, and emotional exhaustion. Therapy can provide much-needed support and offer you the tools to manage difficult emotions, heal from past wounds, and regain a sense of clarity. Together, we will explore the root causes of your struggles and work toward creating the changes you desire in your life.

I understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and each person’s unique experiences and perspectives shape how they view themselves and the world. That’s why I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These techniques allow us to tailor our work to meet your specific needs and help you develop the skills and resilience to cope with life’s challenges.

Currently, I offer Telehealth services to individuals in San Antonio and surrounding areas, making therapy more accessible and convenient for your busy life. I offer evening and weekend hours, so you can prioritize your mental health without disrupting your schedule.

Taking the step toward therapy can be transformative, and I’m here to provide a safe, empathetic, and welcoming space where you can begin to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence. Whether you’re dealing with work stress, relationship difficulties, or emotional exhaustion, you don’t have to face it alone. I’ll be here to listen, guide, and support you every step of the way on your journey to health and a fulfilling life.

Contact me today to set up an appointment and take the first step toward a brighter, more balanced future. You deserve it.
