Getting to know Ashley Newman
***Please note***
- We do not accept Medicaid/NJ Family Care Plans.
- We do not have any staff members who can prescribe medication.
- You must be located in New Jersey at the time of your appointment.
- After booking, our administrative team will contact you by the next business day. Please ensure that you respond promptly to any emails or messages requesting the completion of your new client paperwork.
Let’s be honest, life can be challenging at times! Let me assist you in navigating it. I congratulate you on making the choice to speak to a therapist and share the most important and private thoughts you have with me. Knowing when to reach out and ask for help is a HUGE step in your journey to healing. As a therapist with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University, I understand that therapy is not a "one size fits all" service, and I strive to walk alongside my clients as they seek emotional well-being.
I'm currently accepting clients virtually. I meet clients where they are and work through an empowerment lens. I understand the importance that connection plays in healing and growth for all of us. I also recognize that healing is a personal journey and what works for one may not work for another. I work from a strengths-based approach to help clients reach their goals. I specialize in working with adults who need support with anxiety, depression, stress/time management issues, self-esteem, and a variety of others.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I embrace an open and welcoming approach to therapy. ALL emotions and feelings are welcome in this space.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The goal of the first session is to establish foundation. Therapy, like any other relationship, requires an established level of comfort, trust, and vulnerability. In the first session, we will have a conversation, where you are able to ask any questions you may have. Once we have established the connection, we will then work to figure out the initial direction and goal of our therapy sessions. While these preliminary goals can shift with time, it is still important to have an initial blueprint to ensure that we have some direction. The first session can be intimidating for those entering therapy for the first time. I am here to ensure you are comfortable about moving forward.

She’s a mother !! I became a mom 3 years ago and kept putting my mental health to the side. I decided to take a leap of faith and booked a session with Ashely. I had told my husband prior to my appointment that if my therapist wasn’t a mom I would look for a new 1. A few minutes into my session I found out she’s a mother and immediately felt like she was the 1!

I’m very happy I booked a session with Ashley. From the moment the camera connected, I knew that I was going to enjoy my session. I had tried therapy in the past, with 2 other therapist and I personally did not like my experience. The entire session with Ashley, I was heard, and understood, so much I booked my next session and now she is stuck with me :) I definitely recommend her.

I just had my initial consultation but the fact that she created a very safe space for me to just be vulnerable and myself speaks volumes. I HIGHLY recommend Ashley! I look forward to working with her and going on this journey together.

This was my first meeting with Ashley. She was prompt, very nice, empathetic, and I found her very easy to talk to. For the first meeting, she explained the process well, helping me know exactly what to expect. I am looking forward to working with her.

Ashley has been a joy to work with. I signed my 8 yr old daughter up for therapy after noticing that she was having a hard time processing some tough emotions. My daughter was exhibiting some very emotional outbursts and acting out. Having Ashley once a week to guide her through her emotions has been immensely helpful. She is also a mom so she understands how hard it can be to watch your child struggle to express themselves. I would recommend her help to friends, family, and parents of young kids who are also going through a hard time.

Starting therapy for the first time felt intimidating, but working with Ashley turned it into a life-changing experience. From the very beginning, she created a safe and supportive space where I felt comfortable opening up. Her warmth, patience, and empathy made it easy to trust her, even as I navigated emotions I had never expressed before.
Ashley’s thoughtful approach to listening and understanding went beyond expectations. She didn’t just hear my words—she truly understood my struggles and helped me make sense of them. Her ability to balance professionalism with genuine care was remarkable, making every session feel impactful.
She guided me at a pace that felt natural, offering tools and strategies that were tailored specifically to my needs. I walked away from every session with a greater sense of clarity and empowerment. For anyone starting their journey in therapy, I can’t recommend Ashley enough. She made this experience one of healing, growth, and hope.

Ashley was very welcoming and open to hearing about my previous experience with seeing a therapist. I only had our initial intake appointment but I do plan on seeing her again!

Felt very welcomed and that I know this would be a safe place for me to get my thoughts out which felt really good with it being my first time in therapy. I was nervous but she made me feel comfortable

My first session with Ashley was incredible, and I felt positive throughout my day afterward. She created a safe and welcoming space where I felt truly heard and understood, never rushed, and her attentiveness and care were evident throughout. Ashley was also highly communicative and flexible with scheduling, making the entire process stress-free. I feel confident that I’m in the hands of a professional who genuinely cares about her patients, and I’m excited to continue this journey with her.

Today was my first session with Ashley and as a person who struggles with anxiety, taking this step towards therapy was not an easy leap to make but instantly Ashley made me feel comfortable and capable of sticking to this and I’m excited for our journey!

So far so great, I’m looking forward to another session. I feel compelled to continue my session with Ashley. She allow me to just be me and made it very clear it’s a judgment, free zone so I was very satisfied that I was able to express how I felt and laugh being a serious person it’s seldom that I laugh so I enjoyed my session with Ashley!

I had my first appointment with Ashley today and I’m so glad I booked my appointment with her. Her kindness , bedside manner and the willingness to allow me to open up , and navigate my session how I wanted was everything I was looking for in a therapist. We connected right away , she can relate which is a plus . I can’t wait to continue this journey of healing mentally with her expertise .

Ashley was a breath of fresh air during a very chaotic day. As a safe haven for many, it was very nice to find a space where I was reassured of confidentiality and able to show up as my authentic self. Ashley was professional and empathetic and helped me to realize truths about my experiences that I hadn’t seen within our first visit. I am blessed to have connected with such a compassionate and genuine counselor. I’d recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

Dr. Newman was receptive, insightful, and most of all warm and welcoming. Any tense feelings and nerves I had before the call dissipated after a couple of minutes of talking to her. You can tell that she cares about establishing a good relationship with her patients. I couldn’t imagine this session going any better than it did. Highly looking forward to future sessions with her!

Ashley is so kind and easy to talk to. We immediately developed a rapport, which is always the scariest part about starting with a new therapist. She makes me feel safe about sharing my feelings and offers a lot of helpful tools for coping with those feelings. She's great at helping me to set goals for myself, and helps me to process how I'm feeling when I meet, or don't meet, those goals. I can't recommend her enough!
July 3, 2024Joseph D.Verified patientVideo visit
Ashley is so sweet and really listens to your feelings. Within minutes of my first session I felt so comfortable with her, it’s like talking to one of my friends. I’ve experienced different approaches to therapy before meeting with her and I can confidently say her style of therapy makes me feel the most relaxed and comfortable. The best therapist I’ve had so far!!!!!
