Alberto Gamarra
Psychologist, Ph. D. NCSP
In today's athletic environment, there are so many "issues" for parents and their student-athletes to overcome. A few of the topics that I have worked with in my 20+ years include: parent/coach dynamics, sideline behavior, athlete motivation, performance issues, concussions, goal-setting, team building, injury recovery, and career termination. Each of these areas is approached with care and individuality that they deserve, no 2 student-athletes present in the same way.

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.

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.
