Dr. Mason is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in resolving anxiety in children and adults of all ages using an integrated approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MCBT). She earned her doctoral degree from Fordham University in New York, where she received extensive training in Child and Adolescent Psychology. Dr. Mason is also a Certified Registered Yoga Teacher and effectively incorporates various yoga techniques into treatment when appropriate.
- I started The Mind Spa in the spirit of providing an accepting and encouraging environment where anyone can achieve a higher degree of mental fitness.
Complementing her work with children and families, Dr. Mason also provides psychological services to adults struggling with depressive, bipolar, and anxiety disorders, as well as marital/couples relationship issues. Throughout her professional career of more than 20 years, she has provided treatment to young and old patients with various health issues (e.g., pain management, hormonal disorders, TBI, cancer, kidney disease, etc.), and has done so in a variety of treatment settings (e.g., patients’ homes, hospitals, nursing homes, residential facilities, etc.).
Dr. Mason has appeared on local morning talk shows, such as Fox 4’s Morning Blend, to offer her expertise on everything from dating and relationships to living with chronic illness. She has also worked with various high-profile government officials, directors and chief officers of local private firms and corporations, as well as local health care providers and their children. Dr. Mason has a firm grasp of the human condition, but she understands the importance of availing herself in a manner that yields discretion.
When not working with patients, Dr. Mason enjoys spending time with her husband and son, socializing with other close family and friends and volunteering in the community. She is a proud member of Rotary International. Dr. Mason also treasures moments of solitude, during which she dabbles in a variety of arts and crafts, listens to audiobooks, or engages in activities to boost her physical fitness and spiritual well-being.

When looking for a therapist to help with anxiety, relationship issues, or a recent loss in the family, many individuals run into the question of whether to choose a counselor or a licensed psychologist.
What makes a psychologist different?
A clinical psychologist has extensive experience, expertise and knowledge in the field of psychology. With over 4,000 hours of supervised clinical experience and a doctorate degree in psychology, choosing a licensed psychologist means choosing a therapist that has research-backed methods of helping you achieve your goals.
This allows you, the patient, to have a plethora of proven resources and techniques available to help you move towards living a healthier and more mindful lifestyle. This treatment can vary from psychological assessments, to reputable techniques such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy).
A licensed psychologist also has the ability to provide neurological testing and assessment regarding disability or scholarly programs (i.e., the gifted program for students).
For more than 20 years, Dr. Mason has successfully treated patients struggling with anxiety, mood disorders, and geriatric challenges.

Group therapy connects you with others who may be experiencing similar struggles. This method may provide a level of safety and show you that you are not alone.

Family therapy provides an opportunity to improve communication and resolve conflicts. It may be helpful when going through a difficult period, a major transition, or mental or behavioral health problems
