LGBT Affirmative Therapy | Latina Therapist | Culturally Responsive Therapist | Online Therapy for Teens and Adults
What would it look like to accept and love yourself for exactly who you are – whatever that may look like? Too many of us can’t even imagine it, especially if we’ve been told our whole lives that we’re supposed to hide our true selves.
But I’m here to let you know that you deserve to be raw – to live proudly – to be your fullest and shiniest self.
I’m Ashley, licensed Latina therapist and founder of Be Yourself, Therapy (BYT). I created BYT to be a place where anyone can come to be accepted as their most genuine and best selves.
BYT offers culturally-responsive, affirmative online therapy for people who need a dose of encouragement, real talk, and humor to navigate identity challenges.
No matter what brought you here, I got your back.
It’s time to be yourself. Ya no tienes que esconderte. iEs hora de ser TÚ!
Online Identity Affirmative Therapy
Be Yourself Therapy is a sanctuary for authenticity – a safe haven where you can shed the heavy layers that society has placed upon you and free your true self. This is a space where you can embrace your uniqueness and embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and self-expression.
​
This is a space crafted just for you. BYT’s focus is on empowering you to navigate through the challenges of depression, anxiety, and the exploration of your identity. It's about meeting you where you are and helping you challenge societal norms that may be keeping you from discovering your true self.
Success in our work together means witnessing your transformation. It means watching you become more comfortable in your own skin, allowing your emotions to surface, and embracing your unique journey. It's about you feeling empowered to challenge not just the world, but also the limitations you may have placed upon yourself.
It can be scary. But I think it’s worth it. Do you?
About Ashley
I’m a licensed Latina therapist, member of the LGBTQ+ community, and a silly, real, messy human. I provide online therapy for teens and young adults facing depression, anxiety, and identity exploration.
As a first generation Latina who identifies as LGBTQ+, I’ve learned to break through many generational norms. I challenged what society had in store for me – and decided to write my own story. Now, I want to help you do the same
