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.

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.
