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.

Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
In my work as a sports psychology consultant, I help individuals at all levels of sports to perform at their best. Depending on the individual, I might assist them in learning to relax and reduce excess nerves and anxiety. We might focus on improving confidence through developing healthy self talk and eliminating negative "blocking" beliefs. For some clients, the issue might be dealing with injuries coping with retirement. As a sports psychology consultant and mental skills coach, I have worked with children as young a 10 and seniors in their 70's and beyond.From individual sports like tennis and swimming to team sports like basketball and hockey, I help athletes improve in their sport and in their lives both on and off the playing field.

Waterbury is a post-industrial Connecticut city historically known as the 'Brass City' for its dominant role in American brass and clock manufacturing industries, which have largely departed, leaving behind significant economic challenges and one of the higher poverty rates in a state that ranks among the nation's wealthiest. The city has a large Puerto Rican population, and Spanish-language therapy is an essential component of the mental health landscape alongside services for communities from across Latin America and more recently Africa. Saint Mary's Hospital and Waterbury Hospital provide behavioral health services, and community health centers serve the significant Medicaid and uninsured population. Common therapy concerns include poverty-related stress, immigration and diaspora identity, substance use (Waterbury has been significantly affected by opioids), depression, anxiety, and the compounding challenges of accessing mental health care in a struggling city still working to define itself beyond its industrial past.
