Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.

Hypnotherapist
Hypnosis is a valuable tool for those seeking a competitive edge in sports performance. I have been involved with sports performance improvement since the 1970’s through my work with sports competitors to include recreational golfers, collegiate middle-distance runners and swimmers, marathon runners, and others. Noteworthy, among my clients, has been a CIF track and field champion, a swimmer on Cal Berkeley’s 2X national championship team, a collegiate middle-distance champion, and a marathoner who successfully completed the Mount Everest Marathon. Addressing the performance aspects of sports through hypnosis complements physical training and can lead to breakthrough performances. My use of hypnosis works by reprogramming negative self-talk, empowering performance through affirmations and guided imagery, boosting confidence, and reducing anxiety. In that pre-competition jitters or fear of failure can derail an athlete’s mindset, hypnosis employs subconscious relaxation techniques and guided imagery to reduce cortisol levels and promote a calm composed state of mind, while fostering a winning attitude. Studies have shown the efficacy of hypnosis in sports. For example, a 2016 review in the International Journal of Sports Science highlighted significant performance improvements in athletes who used hypnosis compared to those who did not. Those who used hypnosis reported better focus, reduced pre-competition anxiety, and enhanced execution of skills after hypnosis sessions. In sports performance counseling, my use of hypnosis facilitates vivid mental imagery, allowing athletes to visualize successful performance. Research has shown that mental rehearsal can strengthen neural pathways, helping the body to perform as if it has already achieved the desired outcome. Using hypnotic relaxation to tap into an athlete’s subconscious allows the competitor to tap into their commitment to training, discipline, and goal achievement in a stress-free manner.

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Elite performance lives in the space between physical mastery and mental precision — where the body knows exactly what to do, but the brain must stay calm enough to let it. Neurofeedback trains this state deliberately, building the focused, composed neural patterns that separate good athletes from great ones. Reaction time sharpens, performance anxiety dissolves, and the brain learns to access the zone on demand — not just by accident.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo, Marriage and Family Therapist in Beverly Hills, CA
Sports

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.
