Dr. Gail Masterson

Dr. Gail Masterson brings 28 years of psychotherapy practice to individuals, couples, and families seeking clearer footing during uncertain times. She helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by circumstances beyond their control, or ready to explore new possibilities that may emerge from change.

Her approach blends coaching and thoughtful questioning to help clients discover practical steps they can take. Dr. Masterson values both brief, solution-focused work and longer-term exploration, and she draws on extensive experience with teletherapy as well as in-depth psychotherapeutic training.

She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities, a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and a PhD in Psychology, and she is licensed to practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California. Early in her career she worked with David Viscott, MD, at the Viscott Center for Natural Therapy, where she gained experience with brief, solution-oriented methods while also maintaining a commitment to deeper therapeutic work.

Dr. Masterson has worked with teenagers through older adults near the end of life, and with couples and families facing relationship, parenting, career, grief, and other life challenges. She understands that taking the first step can be hard and believes that people can begin before they feel fully ready. She offers listening, encouragement, support, and collaboration until a clearer path forward emerges.
