About me

As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, compassionate spaces for healing—particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those navigating challenging life transitions.

I bring deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and social challenges. My approach is rooted in understanding each person's unique journey, with a focus on building self-love, improving communication, and developing healthy coping strategies.

My therapeutic work honors the complexity of human experience. I'm committed to supporting clients through issues like social anxiety, attachment challenges, sexuality concerns, chronic health conditions, and personal growth. I create a non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their experiences, process difficult emotions, and develop meaningful strategies for wellness.

Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I offer trauma-informed, person-centered care that respects each client's individual path and inherent strengths. My goal is to support you in discovering resilience, understanding yourself more deeply, and creating positive change.

I have had a very positive experience with Gail. She is very knowledgeable and supportive about my situation and very personal psychological issues that I am going through right now. I am very thankful for her kindness and support during this difficult time. I can depend on her for reassurance and encouragement to help when my anxiety is very intense.

Gail Albers has been a strong influence in my healing process. She listens to me and has guided me through one of the most challenging times of my life. She shows complete respect for my issues in this last phase of my life and has helped me navigate my elder years. I’ve learned to relish life and feel joy again. She’s caring and sensitive and lets me find my own path. That is very valuable to me.
