About

Hi, I’m Ashley Donkor, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in South Jersey and licensed in New Jersey. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University and have experience supporting children, adults, and families through emotional challenges and life transitions.

‍

I believe you deserve a space where you can show up as yourself and feel heard without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your experiences, values, and goals. Together, we can explore what’s keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and work toward changes that feel meaningful to you. You don’t have to have everything figured out before we begin, we can start wherever you are.

Education & Licensure
Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Stockton University; Master of Social Work (MSW) from Rutgers University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I’m drawn to working with autistic and neurodivergent clients because I believe you deserve to feel understood, respected, and accepted as you are. I want to offer a space where you can express yourself without pressure to fit someone else’s expectations. I approach our work with curiosity and compassion, recognizing that you are the expert on your own experience. Together, we can explore your strengths, identify your needs, and find ways to navigate challenges that honor how you think, feel, and experience the world. My goal is to support you in building a life that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I begin by getting to know what matters to you—your interests, strengths, values, and the ways you already navigate daily life. I listen without judgment and respect your communication style, sensory needs, and pace. Together, we identify goals that reflect what you want for yourself and build on the abilities you bring. I also make room for challenges, helping you explore practical tools, boundaries, and self-advocacy skills. Throughout our work, I welcome your feedback so that our sessions feel supportive, affirming, and useful to you.
