Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Zsigray-Rodriguez.
Hi Christina, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’ve always felt called to walk alongside people during their hardest seasons. My path started in social work, where I worked with veterans, families, and individuals facing housing instability and trauma. Over time, I realized that while case management was important, my heart was in therapy—helping people heal, not just survive.
That passion led me to earn my Master’s in Social Work and spend years providing solution-focused and trauma-informed therapy across different settings, from residential programs to outpatient care. Through those experiences, I saw how many people were searching for not only evidence-based tools but also hope, meaning, and connection.
That’s what inspired Hope in Healing Therapy. It began as a way to integrate my clinical training with my faith and my belief in resilience. Today, I provide therapy that blends evidence-based approaches with compassion and, when clients choose, a faith-informed perspective. My goal is simple: to offer a safe, supportive space where people can heal, grow, and reclaim their lives.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Like many therapists, I’ve faced my share of burnout, self-doubt, and seasons where balance felt impossible. Juggling work, grad school, motherhood, and my own healing journey forced me to learn the same lessons I now teach my clients—grace, boundaries, and resilience.
Starting Hope in Healing Therapy was also a leap of faith. There were moments I questioned whether I was ready or capable, especially while managing a full-time job and raising a young family. But each obstacle—financial stress, limited time, self-criticism—became an opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.
Those challenges have shaped how I show up as a therapist today: grounded, real, and compassionate. I understand what it means to rebuild, to start over, and to keep choosing healing every day.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Hope in Healing Therapy was created from a simple belief — that healing is possible when faith, science, and compassion work together. I provide individual and family therapy using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). For clients who choose, I also integrate faith-based practices and spiritual reflection to support deeper, values-driven healing.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and complex family dynamics. My work focuses on helping clients understand how early experiences shape their current emotional patterns and relationships, empowering them to break cycles and find balance.
What sets my practice apart is the combination of clinical precision with authenticity and faith. My clients don’t just process trauma—they learn how to rebuild their sense of safety, purpose, and hope.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of creating a space where mental health and spirituality meet without judgment. Hope in Healing Therapy isn’t just about symptom relief; it’s about guiding people toward true restoration—mind, body, and spirit.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What I love most about Houston is the diversity and resilience here. You can meet people from every walk of life, hear ten different languages in a day, and still find a sense of community anywhere you go. There’s a deep mix of culture, faith, and hard work that makes the city feel alive and grounded at the same time.
What I like least is the traffic and how spread out everything is—it can easily take an hour just to get across town. The pace of life can be exhausting, especially for families trying to balance work, school, and home. But even with that, I think Houston’s heart outweighs its chaos.
