Desert to Peaks Psychology
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Our approach to working with athletes integrates sports psychology principles with a person-centered, performance-focused framework. As athletes ourselves, we understand the unique pressures athletes face, such as identity tied to performance, high standards, injury setbacks, and the mental demands of competition. Together, we will strengthen key mental skills such as confidence, focus, emotional regulation, and resilience, helping you perform at your highest level without sacrificing well-being. When working with injured athletes or those returning to sport, we address both the psychological and emotional impact of time away from competition. We work through fear of re-injury, loss of identity, and rebuilding trust in your body, while using structured mental training tools like visualization, goal-setting, and cognitive reframing. Our goal is to help you return not only physically prepared, but mentally stronger, more grounded, and equipped to compete with clarity and confidence.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a former collegiate volleyball and softball player, I understand that athletic performance incorporates so much more than physical training. I work with athletes who are struggling with anxiety, confidence, focus, or team dynamics. Additionally, I see athletes after they have experienced some major event in their athletic lives; such as acute and chronic injuries, pain, illness, or physical changes with aging. Athletes also struggle frequently with eating concerns and body image. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating sports-related performance.
