Who you will actually be talking to

Ashley Saldaña, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

“My goal is to assist clients in understanding that they are the expert on themselves.”

Ashley earned her Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice at Cal State Long Beach and her Master’s in Social Work at Cal State Los Angeles.

Court services

What is included in Court Services

Five programs, all delivered by the same licensed clinician, built to satisfy what the court asked for while actually being worth your time.

01 A group of adults sitting in a circle together during a support session

Anger management

A structured, evidence-based program. You learn to control emotional responses, improve communication, and handle conflict constructively.

02 A counselor speaking with two clients seated across from her in a bright office

Court-ordered counseling

A supportive, therapeutic environment for anyone mandated to attend. You address the underlying issues while complying with what the court requires.

03 A young girl fist-bumping her smiling parents on a sofa at home

Reunification counseling

For families going through separation or reunification. Sessions rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and support everyone involved.

04 A father playing with his baby son on the floor while the mother and daughter talk nearby

Co-parenting

For divorced or separated parents. The focus is communication, resolving conflict, and making decisions jointly instead of through the children.

05 A couple sitting together and smiling during a session with their counselor

Co-parenting counseling

Personalized sessions for parents who need more support, working through specific challenges and building a plan that serves the children.

06 A woman meeting with an advisor at a desk beside the scales of justice

Not sure which one you need?

Bring your paperwork to the free consultation. Ashley will read what the court actually ordered and tell you which program satisfies it.

Mental health

What is included in Mental Health Services

Individual therapy shaped around you. Here is what the work actually looks like.

01 A calm one-to-one therapy session in a light, quiet room

A safe place to say it out loud

A safe environment to explore your emotions, at your own pace. Nothing you bring is too small, and you are never rushed to a conclusion you are not ready for.

02 A woman in conversation with her therapist, both relaxed and engaged

Evidence-based methods

Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices. Together you find the underlying causes and triggers, then challenge the thought patterns keeping them in place.

03 A woman smiling warmly, relaxed at home

Tools you keep afterwards

The goal is not permanent therapy. It is a future where you use what you learned on your own: coping strategies, boundaries, and resilience that outlast the sessions.

Specialties

What people usually come here to work on

When worry stops being useful

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes persistent it interferes with your ability to function and enjoy life.

Get a job. Move out. Figure out your life. Therapy is where you work on trauma, anxiety, boundaries and what you actually want.

One hour a week that is only about you

As parents we take care of everything and everyone and forget ourselves. Whatever you need to talk about, that hour is yours.

Questions people ask first

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers, before you pick up the phone.

A therapist can provide support, problem-solving skills and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues and creative blocks. A therapist can also give you a fresh perspective on a difficult problem. The benefits you get from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn.

Yes. Confidentiality is one of the most important parts of the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist. You will receive a written copy of the confidential disclosure agreement, and what you discuss in session is not shared with anyone. Your therapist cannot release information without your written permission.

State law and professional ethics require therapists to break confidentiality in two situations:

  • Suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults and elders, reported to the authorities including Child Protection and law enforcement.
  • If the therapist has reason to suspect a client is seriously in danger of harming themselves, or has threatened to harm another person.

Yes. Optum, Cigna, IEHP and United Healthcare PPO are accepted, with a superbill available on request. To learn what your own mental health coverage includes you need to call your insurer.

Useful questions to ask them are what your mental health benefits are, the coverage amount per session, how many sessions your plan covers, how much is paid for an out-of-network provider, and whether approval is required from your primary care physician. It is your responsibility to know your policy and your copay or deductible.

A sliding scale can be available after a discussion between therapist and client. The office reserves a limited number of spaces for clients who need a rate adjustment. Those spots cannot be guaranteed to be open, but if none are available Ashley is happy to help you with reduced-fee referrals. Please reach out so your individual case can be discussed.

After booking, complete all forms within 48 hours. You will receive an email confirmation and a telehealth link 24 hours before your appointment.

  • Choose a room where you feel safe to speak freely and express your emotions.
  • Have water or a calming drink like tea nearby.
  • Get comfortable. Grab a cozy blanket and sit in your favorite chair.
  • Try the session link beforehand and check your microphone and camera work.
  • Make sure you have a strong internet connection.

There is a strict 24-hour cancellation policy. You will be charged the full fee if you no-show or cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment, and insurance does not cover that fee. The commitment runs both ways: Ashley commits to being there to support you, and asks that you commit in return.

No. Blue Jay Family Services does not write emotional support animal letters. If that is what you are looking for, you will need to find a provider who offers that service.
