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.

Desert to Peaks Psychology
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Our approach to working with athletes integrates sports psychology principles with a person-centered, performance-focused framework. As athletes ourselves, we understand the unique pressures athletes face, such as identity tied to performance, high standards, injury setbacks, and the mental demands of competition. Together, we will strengthen key mental skills such as confidence, focus, emotional regulation, and resilience, helping you perform at your highest level without sacrificing well-being. When working with injured athletes or those returning to sport, we address both the psychological and emotional impact of time away from competition. We work through fear of re-injury, loss of identity, and rebuilding trust in your body, while using structured mental training tools like visualization, goal-setting, and cognitive reframing. Our goal is to help you return not only physically prepared, but mentally stronger, more grounded, and equipped to compete with clarity and confidence.
