Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Athletes face a unique combination of performance pressure, expectations, identity, competition, and setbacks. As a former collegiate athlete, I understand the demands of competitive sports and work with athletes on performance anxiety, confidence, perfectionism, motivation, injury and transition, and managing the mental side of competition.

Averill Hovey
Art Therapist, MA, MA, LPC-S, ATR-BC, EMDR
Athletic performance involves much more than physical ability. Confidence, focus, emotional regulation, motivation, identity, and the ability to respond to pressure can all influence how an athlete experiences both competition and themselves.
I work with athletes to explore the connection between mind and body while developing greater awareness of the thoughts, emotions, and physical responses that emerge during training and competition. Drawing from art therapy, somatic and mindfulness-based practices, Gestalt and experiential approaches, visualization, and yoga-informed principles, I help athletes develop strategies for managing performance anxiety, maintaining focus, building confidence, and recovering from setbacks.
Our work can also address the experiences surrounding sport, including injury and rehabilitation, perfectionism, burnout, changing roles, team dynamics, and the challenge of maintaining a sense of identity beyond athletic performance. The goal is to support athletes in performing with greater presence and confidence while fostering a healthier, more sustainable relationship with themselves and their sport.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
As both a clinical psychologist and someone deeply embedded in sport culture, I work with athletes navigating both performance goals and mental health concerns. Sports psychology is not only about optimizing performance under pressure, improving focus, or strengthening confidence. It also includes addressing anxiety, burnout, identity struggles, injury recovery, depression, and the clinical needs that often go unspoken in competitive environments. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT and ACT to help athletes regulate emotions, manage performance pressure, and build resilience while also attending to underlying mental health concerns. My approach supports the whole person, not just the athlete, so success is sustainable both on and off the field.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Behind the discipline, pressure, and public image, athletes are still human - navigating relationships, identity, and the emotional cost of constant performance. My work with professional athletes goes beyond sport; it focuses on the relational and psychological demands that come with success, visibility, and private strain. Therapy offers a discreet space to process the intersections of competition, intimacy, and identity - how performance anxiety, trust issues, or infidelity can quietly affect focus, motivation, and connection at home. Together, we address the emotional load of being depended on, desired, or defined by the game, and build the tools to sustain balance both on and off the field. Sessions are conducted privately through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. For high-profile clients, confidentiality and precision are paramount — the work stays focused, contained, and entirely your own.
