Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Athletic performance involves more than physical ability. Pressure, perfectionism, fear of failure, self-doubt, injury, and difficulty recovering from mistakes can interfere with confidence, focus, and enjoyment of the sport.
I help athletes strengthen mental resilience, regulate performance anxiety, improve concentration, and develop a healthier inner dialogue. Using approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, visualization, and hypnotherapy, we work to build confidence, support recovery from setbacks, and create a balanced identity that extends beyond performance and results.

Todd Deutsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with athletes around confidence, performance anxiety, pressure, focus, motivation, identity, and the fear of failure. My approach helps athletes better understand what gets in the way mentally, manage the stress of competition, quiet overthinking, and build the confidence and emotional resilience needed to perform more freely and consistently.

Drew Carr
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.
My approach is practical and collaborative, grounded in contextual behavioral science. We look beneath procrastination, distraction, burnout, and indecision to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going. Therapy is not another performance test. It is a place to rebuild self-trust and act from what matters—not shame, fear, or proving.
I do not offer a final formula for what your life should be. I can help you slow the machinery down, recognize the rules that have been running you, and take the next honest step without abandoning yourself. If you have built a life that should feel meaningful but doesn't feel like home, contact me to see whether we're a good fit.
