BIOGRAPHY OF DR. MARIE A. MASTRIA

Marie A. Mastria, PHD, CLC, PCC had been practicing clinical psychology for over ten years when she discovered the then budding field of life coaching. She studied for certification and began consulting and coaching in the specialties of executive, life and wellness coaching. Dr. Mastria says:

“There is a large group of people who are not candidates for psychotherapy but can benefit from the research and theory of psychology. Until now, that research was not available to them. Now, with consulting and coaching based on psychological principles, especially positive psychology, people the world over may benefit by joining this new movement called ‘coaching’.”

Dr. Mastria attended Gonzaga University, Eastern Washington University and the University of Southern Mississippi where she received her doctorate in clinicalpsychology.
She has trained psychologists and psychiatrists, researched, written and treated patients in behavioral medicine and compliance, alcoholism and crisis management. She has received her certification in coaching and is working toward her MCC, master certifiedcoaching.
She lives with her family on a lake in the Northeast. She enjoys reading, sailing, skiing and traveling. She no longer commutes to work, having transitioned to a comfortable home office that is steps away from the tea pot. Her work purpose is to serve others to help them become better and then best and so to make her mark on the world. Her motto is “Never give up!”
