Ernest Mastria, Psy.D, is a New Jersey
clinical and forensic psychologist with
private practices in Jersey City and
Belmar. Dr. Mastria learned about people
on the multicultural streets of Jersey
City where he was raised. His
first-generation Italian parents taught
him the value of hard work, empathy for
others and the importance of expressing
his opinion while accepting differences
from others. |

With
a parochial grammar school and high
school education, Dr. Mastria decided to
follow his older sister to Spokane,
Washington to attend Eastern Washington
University, where he earned a Bachelor
of Science degree and a Master of
Science degree in clinical psychology.
After returning to
New Jersey from Washington, Dr. Mastria
attended Rutgers University and was
awarded a Doctor of Psychology degree in
1977. He opened private practices in
Jersey City and in Belmar.
Dr. Mastria gained
a favorable reputation by treating
difficult patients referred to him by
other doctors and agencies. It was
during his years of private practice
that he developed his theory of
Reflexive Attention Diversion and
his method of Attention Training.
In a field riddled
with a multitude of complex theories and
procedures, Dr. Mastria has created a
singular, remarkably simple, highly
effective, and standardized technique
for eliminating psychological symptoms.
This new and revolutionary approach is
rapidly earning him the reputation as a
“Thought Leader” in psychology. |
