Ryan Colby
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC, NCC
As a former athlete myself, I know that sport can carry a large weight of pressures and stressors. I am an athlete mental health specialist and am a certified mental performance consultant, through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology, in training. You are not alone in your struggle, and I consider you strong for seeking help with your mental/emotional concerns whether they originated on or off the field.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Athletic performance breaks down between the ears before it breaks down on the field. Choke moments, performance anxiety, inconsistency under pressure these are subconscious patterns, not skill gaps. I work with competitive athletes to rebuild the identity they compete from: new pressure responses, new pre-performance baselines, and a nervous system calibrated for execution when it counts most.

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.

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.
