Ashley Deitz
Hi! My name is Ashley Deitz. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from Rutgers University School of Social Work in Camden, NJ. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and judgment-free because having the right support can truly make all the difference! I have worked with individuals of all ages experiencing depression, anxiety, grief / loss, life transitions, divorce, parenting and co-parenting, stress management, behavioral issues, ADHD, as well as emotional dysregulation. During our sessions, we will explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster meaningful growth.
First session
During our first session, we will spend time getting to know one other. We will work on building a rapport and ensuring that you are comfortable with the therapeutic process. I will review any intake paperwork, gather any further information to get to know you more, ask you about the reason you have come to therapy, as well as your goals for therapy. My goal for our first session is to ensure that you are comfortable, know that you are in a safe place and allow you to feel seen and heard.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a therapist is my empathetic, non-judgmental listening. I will allow you to be in control of your sessions so that you are able to reach your fullest potential. I will meet you where you are. Whether you are brand new to the therapeutic process, or you have tried many therapists in the past, I want to ensure that you feel empowered and supported.
Ideal clients
I would love to work with motivated individual's struggling with depression, anxiety, divorce or separation, parenting and co-parenting, life transitions, stress management, interpersonal relationships and coping with grief / loss.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have utilized CBT to help individual's understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I help individual's recognize and challenge negative or irrational thoughts, and replace them with more helpful thoughts. identify their core beliefs about themselves and the world around them and work with them to reframe negative assumptions.

I have utilized interpersonal therapy to help individuals identify and improve how they communicate. I ensure they can express their needs and emotions effectively to strengthen their interpersonal relationships.
Child-Parent Psychotherapy
I have utilized child parent psychotherapy to provide the parent with psychoeducation on child development, teaching effective parenting skills, as well as behavioral management techniques. I have helped families work through conflicts, understand one another through, teaching empathy and creating a safe space to process feelings and any conflicts in order to strengthen the parent-child relationship.
Strength-Based
I have utilized strength-based therapy by helping individuals see and understand their strengths and use those strengths towards achieving their goals.
Motivational Interviewing
I have utilized Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients change their behavior by guiding them through conversations about the ambivalence they may have about making changes.
