Welcome! My name is Ashley Bautista, and I’m so happy you’re here. I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about supporting individuals, students, and families through life’s challenges.

Born and raised in the Coachella Valley, this community holds a special place in my heart and has shaped me into the therapist I am today. As a bilingual therapist, estoy orgullosa de mis raíces and am committed to creating a space where healing, growth, and hope are always possible.

​

I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy & Professional Clinical Counseling from the University of Massachusetts Global and a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of California, Riverside. I have a background in trauma-informed care, trauma-informed art practices, EMDR, and DBT skills. I’ve worked with diverse populations, supporting clients through challenging seasons with cultural sensitivity, respect, and compassion. My approach is personalized to each person’s needs, helping them process experiences, develop coping strategies, and build resilience in a safe and understanding environment.

​

Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone, together, we can create the change you’re seeking!

​

Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, as well as cooking and baking. These bring me peace and serve as meaningful ways to practice self-care.
