Janelle Westfall
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
As an endurance athlete myself, I understand the mental demands that often accompany training, competition, injury, performance pressure, and balancing athletics with the rest of life. I enjoy working with athletes of all levels to strengthen mental skills, improve performance, build confidence, and navigate challenges both in and outside of sport. Whether we are addressing performance anxiety, motivation, goal setting, or recovery from setbacks, my approach combines evidence-based psychological strategies with a deep appreciation for the athlete experience.

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.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Athletic performance breaks down between the ears before it breaks down on the field. Choke moments, performance anxiety, inconsistency under pressure these are subconscious patterns, not skill gaps. I work with competitive athletes to rebuild the identity they compete from: new pressure responses, new pre-performance baselines, and a nervous system calibrated for execution when it counts most.
