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.

Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
In particular, I have worked with golf professionals for which I developed my own assessment tool to evaluate strengths and weaknesses. As a former competitive golfer, I bring an uncommon blend of education and experience to Golf Psychology and on-course mental conditioning. Consultations and exercises are designed to take place at golf practice facilities or on the course.
