About

For bilingual marriage and family therapy in Chula Vista, Cristina Bautista holds both a PsyD in clinical psychology and an LMFT credential, providing sessions in English and Spanish from 1161 Bay Boulevard. The practice's family-systems approach to custody, separation, and co-parenting disputes pairs clinical treatment with legal-coordination support available through firms such as Reel Fathers Rights APC for clients navigating concurrent court proceedings. Registered under NPI 1316243157, the office treats mood disorders in children, generalized anxiety, ADHD, and adverse childhood experiences using a cognitive-behavioral framework adapted for Spanish-dominant households. The Bay Boulevard location in western Chula Vista sits within the 91911 ZIP code, serving families from the Broadway corridor south to Palomar Street. The practice refers clients with stress-related somatic symptoms to complementary care at Urban Sage Acupuncture + Wellness, which applies traditional Chinese medicine protocols to anxiety and tension-related conditions alongside ongoing psychotherapy. Treatment planning uses validated pediatric and adult intake batteries, including the CBCL/6-18 for child-behavior assessment and the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 for adult depressive and anxiety screening.
