Our Team
At Beyond Therapy, we believe your healing journey should align with who you are.
As a Christian therapist, I, Ashley Willis, offer CBT along with faith-based counseling as a primary source of treatment method. However, I understand that Christian therapy isn’t the right fit for everyone—and that’s okay.
That’s why we’ve built a diverse team of skilled therapists who offer a range of approaches, including DBT, psychodynamic therapy, somatic awareness, and support for PTSD, OCD, and ADHD that are non-faith based. We meet you where you are.
I’m honored to introduce two incredible therapists on our team: LCSW Martina Galvan and AMFT Aneesah Bari—both dedicated to helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered.
There is a place for you here.
ASHLEY WILLIS

Ashley Willis is a passionate licensed clinical social worker with over 14 years of experience helping individuals and families overcome depression, anxiety, life transitions and low self-esteem. She holds a Bachelor’s in Sociology from UC Riverside and a master’s in social work from Azusa Pacific University. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based perspective to help you break through what’s holding you back and build lasting confidence. For clients who are open to it, she also integrates faith into the healing process—because she has seen how powerful and effective spirituality can be in restoring peace, clarity, and purpose. She founded Beyond Therapy Healing Center to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and lack purpose.
