Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Behind the discipline, pressure, and public image, athletes are still human - navigating relationships, identity, and the emotional cost of constant performance. My work with professional athletes goes beyond sport; it focuses on the relational and psychological demands that come with success, visibility, and private strain. Therapy offers a discreet space to process the intersections of competition, intimacy, and identity - how performance anxiety, trust issues, or infidelity can quietly affect focus, motivation, and connection at home. Together, we address the emotional load of being depended on, desired, or defined by the game, and build the tools to sustain balance both on and off the field. Sessions are conducted privately through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. For high-profile clients, confidentiality and precision are paramount — the work stays focused, contained, and entirely your own.

Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
In the world of sports, physical skill is only part of the equation—mental strength, focus, and confidence are just as crucial to success. As a therapist with a special interest in sports psychology, I help young athletes overcome the internal obstacles that can hold them back, such as performance anxiety, self-doubt, and negative thinking. Through targeted mental skills training, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a supportive therapeutic relationship, I work with athletes to build confidence, develop resilience, and stay mentally strong under pressure. My goal is to help young athletes move past the fears and mental blocks that get in the way, so they can fully access their potential and perform at their best—both on and off the field.

Alberto Gamarra
Psychologist, Ph. D. NCSP
In today's athletic environment, there are so many "issues" for parents and their student-athletes to overcome. A few of the topics that I have worked with in my 20+ years include: parent/coach dynamics, sideline behavior, athlete motivation, performance issues, concussions, goal-setting, team building, injury recovery, and career termination. Each of these areas is approached with care and individuality that they deserve, no 2 student-athletes present in the same way.

Long Island Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, CCTP
Elite performance requires more than physical training—it demands an unshakeable mindset. Whether you are an athlete struggling with performance anxiety, recovering from an injury, battling a severe slump, or fighting perfectionism, the mental blocks can feel paralyzing. I use a forward-focused blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop laser focus, manage high-stakes pressure, and build emotional resilience. Together, we will transform your relationship with stress so you can perform freely, compete at your highest level, and find joy in the game again.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When anxiety interferes with performance, it can feel frustrating and discouraging. By learning to work with anxiety rather than fight against it, you can cultivate the confidence and focus needed to stay in flow and perform at your best. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your autonomic nervous system and develop practical tools to help you find your optimal zone—where you can accelerate when needed, ease up when it’s time to recover, and consistently access your highest potential.

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Performance under pressure is a mental skill, not just a physical one. Every athlete knows what it feels like to train well and compete poorly, to let a mistake spiral, to tighten up at the wrong moment, or to carry the weight of expectation in a way that works against you. The physical side of athletic performance gets enormous attention. The mental side is often undertrained, misunderstood, or ignored entirely until it becomes a problem.
I bring both clinical training and firsthand experience to this work. I have competed at a high level, captained teams, and coached a championship baseball program. I understand what it takes to perform when it matters, how quickly confidence can erode under pressure, and what separates athletes who get the most out of their ability from those who do not. That experience shapes how I work with athletes in a way that no textbook alone can replicate.
In our work together, we address the mental side of performance directly. That includes managing anxiety and performance pressure, developing focus and consistency, building resilience after setbacks or injury, working through slumps, and strengthening the mental habits that allow athletes to compete at their ceiling rather than below it. We also address the identity and transition challenges that come with sport, including what happens when a career or playing days come to an end.
I work with athletes at every level, from high school competitors navigating recruitment pressure to college athletes managing expectations to adult athletes and executives who bring a performance mindset to everything they do.
If you are ready to take the mental side of your performance as seriously as the physical, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
As both a clinical psychologist and someone deeply embedded in sport culture, I work with athletes navigating both performance goals and mental health concerns. Sports psychology is not only about optimizing performance under pressure, improving focus, or strengthening confidence. It also includes addressing anxiety, burnout, identity struggles, injury recovery, depression, and the clinical needs that often go unspoken in competitive environments. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT and ACT to help athletes regulate emotions, manage performance pressure, and build resilience while also attending to underlying mental health concerns. My approach supports the whole person, not just the athlete, so success is sustainable both on and off the field.
