About me

I am a licensed counselor with over 25 years experience in providing therapy. My areas of knowledge include grief and trauma therapy, treatment for anxiety and depression, and issues for LGBTQ+ individuals. I believe in the life transforming power of mindfulness and also employ dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic process, and Rogerian theory which focuses on empathy and unconditional positive regard from the therapist to the client. My focus as a therapist is to provide a safe and compassionate space in which a person can gain self knowledge, self compassion and kindness. Each person is unique and my goal is to provide individualized treatment and support to each person I work with. I welcome the opportunity and the privilege of providing guidance and support to each person on their journey of self discovery and healing.

I was nervous to start therapy. Especially not being face to face with one. But this has helped me out tremendously. Especially being open on the weekends. I really appreciate my therapis

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.

It's kind of early in the process but I can feel Gail training me, like any teacher would, to be educated on things I wasn't even aware of. With this knowledge I finally feel more jn control and that's something I haven't had in a while
