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.

Sage Blackbird Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, CEDS
The mind-body relationship of an athlete is unique and can be difficult to balance! This relationship becomes that much more precarious when part of the competition is how you look.
I specialize in working with aesthetic or artistic athletes (dancers, cheerleaders, figure skaters, gymnasts, synchronized swimmers) in their mental performance and their mind-body relationships. Additionally, we can work together on the mental side of injury recovery and returning to play, or transitioning away from athletics.

Chloe Koutsos
Counselor/Therapist, NCC LPC
More and more athletes are sharing their struggle and story with mental health concerns including athletes in the NFL, NBA, Olympics, WTT. Athletes in elite sports sharing their personal experiences with mental health has positively impacted mental health publicity and others receiving treatment and support. Individual psychotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for a range of presenting concerns or issues and can help with managing anxiety and stress.
