About Us

We are interested in reaching out to those children/teens who because of
life stressors have confronted many different challenges and have made
negative choices in life. We want to assist our non-English speaking
families with quality mental health professionals that speak their
language and understand their culture. Our main focus is to keep the
family together.

Bilingual Youth Therapeutic Services was created by a
bilingual/bicultural therapist, who observed how Latino families
struggled in our society due to language and cultural barriers. Because
not only is it important to speak a person's language to be able to
effectively communicate, but also, cultural competence plays a major
role in clinical treatment.

THE CEO
Has over 10 years of experience in the social service field. Most of her
experience has been working with children and families with different
types of needs. Her devotion has always been to work with the Latino
community and to educate them about cultural differences which
influence so much on the way we raise our children. Ms. Mejia is a
member of The National Association of Social Workers and is also a
member of the National Honor Society in Psychology. She has earned
many awards in different areas. BYTS is the first agency owned/operated
by a bilingual/bicultural therapist. This is why we make the difference!!!
