Victoria Jacobs
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
As a former NCAA Division I soccer player, I understand the pressure that comes with high level sport. I support athletes with the mental and emotional side of competition and training. We make room for pressure, the inner critic, injury and return to play, team dynamics, and who you are beyond results. My goal is to strengthen self worth that does not rise and fall with performance. We talk about healthy striving versus perfectionism and how to shift from harsh self talk to balanced, motivating language. I adapt evidence based psychotherapy approaches for sport contexts so the work fits your reality. I use my training in clinical hypnosis to design personalized visualization scripts for the athletes I work with. These are guided imagery exercises in your own words that support confidence, focus, and recovery. We can practice them in session and you can use them before practice or on game days. Many athletes find this helps with readiness, confidence, and post-mistake resets.

Lauren Lacey
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns&PsychTh, MMktg, BHlthSc(Nutr&Diet), BPyschSc, GDipNat (Naturopathy)
Perhaps you struggle with body acceptance. Want freedom from compulsive exercise? Or maybe it’s time to ditch the fitness tracker and be your healthiest self. The way we move, think, and eat can reveal a lot about ourselves. I will help you to look deep within. To notice and make adjustments that align with the best expression of yourself.
I have recovered from exercise addiction, and disordered beliefs around food, and as a competitive marathon runner battled with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). Having completed a Master’s in Psychotherapy, a Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, Naturopathy, and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology I discovered a profound gap between the kinds of daily struggles people experience around food and their body. Through my marathon training, I recognized that understanding the psychology of eating is key to helping people create a nourishing, supportive relationship with food and their body.

Junie Baek
Registered Psychotherapist, MTA, RP (Qualifying)
Performance anxiety results from many reasons but sometimes from a fear of judgment or failure, leading to heightened stress in situations where one is evaluated or expected to perform. Performance anxiety can be a heavy burden for musicians, students, athletes, or anyone, holding them back from reaching their full potential. As a long-time musician who performed since a young age, I deeply understand what it is like to be a musician and to be under constant pressure. I provide a compassionate space to explore these fears, helping you understand and manage the pressure. Together, we'll build strategies to regain confidence and channel your energy positively, so you can perform with clarity and thrive in your passion. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

Eichler Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MACP, MSc, CCTS-I
As someone with a background in dance performance, kinesiology, and psychology, I understand firsthand the unique pressures that come with using your body as a core part of your identity, career, and self-expression. Whether you're an athlete, dancer, or performing artist, the demands placed on both your body and mind can be intense—and often overwhelming.
My approach to therapy is rooted in a deep appreciation for the physical and emotional toll of high-performance environments. I work with clients to help them better understand how stress, perfectionism, injury, body image concerns, and performance anxiety show up in their lives—and how these challenges impact both their mental health and their relationship with their bodies.
Drawing from evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, trauma-informed therapy, and somatic practices, I offer a holistic, integrative approach that bridges the gap between physical performance and emotional well-being. Through our work together, you'll gain practical tools to manage stress, cultivate resilience, and develop a more compassionate and connected relationship with yourself—both on and off the stage, court, or field.
Whether you're navigating a setback, transitioning in your career, or simply trying to stay grounded in a high-pressure environment, therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and grow—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
