Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Being your best both physically and mentally are crucial for success in sports and other competitive activities. Sport psychology can help you master mental strategies to perform better. Issues such as injury prevention and recovery, fears and anxiety, goal setting and achievement, and more can be addressed with sport psychology. I studied and trained in sport psychology at the University of North Texas, and I can help you improve your physical and mental game.

Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
As a former Division I gymnast and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), I understand sport from both a professional and a personal perspective. I work with youth, college, and professional athletes and high performers (performing artists, executives) across disciplines to address the mental side of performance. I can help high performers overcome mental blocks, build confidence, enhance present-moment focus, and feel more calm under pressure. Whether you're looking to break through a plateau, recover from injury, or simply get out of your own head, I can help you perform at your best and actually enjoy it.

Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in performance enhancement, drawing from my experiences as an operational psychologist in the U.S. Army. During my military career, I worked extensively with individuals operating in high-stress environments, helping them build mental resilience, maintain focus, and perform at their peak during critical missions. These experiences have given me a unique understanding of the psychological demands of high-pressure situations, which translates seamlessly into the world of sports and performance at all levels of competition.
With advanced training in evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques, I help athletes and performers optimize their mental game. Whether you're striving to overcome mental blocks, enhance focus, or build confidence, my goal is to help you unlock your full potential. Together, we will develop a tailored approach to strengthen your mindset, improve performance, and achieve success in your sport or field.
