About Ashley Spitzer

Hello and welcome! I am a clinical social worker/psychotherapist who has been in the mental health profession for over 15 years. I have a laidback and warm personality and encourage my clients to not censor themselves and to ask questions. I like to say that therapy is YOUR time. It is your time to vent, process and identify you needs, wants and goals. I thoroughly enjoy helping individuals help themselves.

I offer a safe and open-minded environment to allow my clients to feel welcome and comfortable. I utilize a client-focused approach and strongly feel that is it imperative to focus on the client’s immediate symptoms and needs. I encourage my clients to be who they are and reassure them that they do not need to censor their problems, emotions and needs. I am creative and considerate when choosing my interventions and open to hearing feedback from clients. I feel that being open to feedback allows me to better assist my patients by identifying their likes, dislikes and comfort level.

My mission is to educate and empower humans, of all ages, about how to take care of ourselves and others; mind, body and soul. It is also to teach the importance of consistency, empathy and setting boundaries. Because consistency is calming; empathy is essential and boundaries are beautiful. I am here to help and guide you in whatever capacity I can. Please free to ask questions, I am here to listen, engage and help you help yourself.

I enjoy working with clients ages 13 and up, providing assessments, individual and family therapy. I am absolutely committed to maintaining a positive rapport throughout the treatment process, so my clients feel comfortable providing me with the necessary feedback to help them move forward in therapy.

9 Reviews

“I would recommend Ashley to everyone. She listens , cares & follows up when I haven’t scheduled just to check in. She’s awesome.”

“She does a good job in the short time I have been with her.”

“Awesome.”

“Very understanding and focused on the issues.”

“Ashley is a great listener. She makes opening up easy and gives great suggestions on how to build confidence in myself.”

“Ashley is fantastic and I feel like I have made a lot of really important strides in my battles with anger, and have a much better grasp on how to identify and express my feelings in much healthier ways.”

“Great counselor.”

“Ashley is very knowledgeable and I trust that she has the expertise required to affectively administer counseling. Most importantly, it is evident that she reads/listens to all of my messages, addresses all of my concerns, and truly invests herself in helping me improve. She can sometimes take a while to respond (even during the week), but for me, that isn't too big of an issue as I consider myself to be mentally stable and my messages are generally not urgent.”

“I just started using betterhelp, but it has been a positive experience so far.”
