Utilizing Dr.-level clinical insight and EMDR, I help clients overcome performance-based trauma and chronic stress.

Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
In the world of sports, physical skill is only part of the equation—mental strength, focus, and confidence are just as crucial to success. As a therapist with a special interest in sports psychology, I help young athletes overcome the internal obstacles that can hold them back, such as performance anxiety, self-doubt, and negative thinking. Through targeted mental skills training, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a supportive therapeutic relationship, I work with athletes to build confidence, develop resilience, and stay mentally strong under pressure. My goal is to help young athletes move past the fears and mental blocks that get in the way, so they can fully access their potential and perform at their best—both on and off the field.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Does your child struggle with confidence on and off the court? Sports can be an immense source of pressure, and the internal narrative of a young athlete often dictates their performance as much as their physical skill. In my practice, I provide a supportive space to help your child navigate the stressors of competitive sports, manage performance anxiety, and build a resilient sense of self-worth that extends far beyond the final whistle. We will work together to quiet the inner critic, embrace a growth mindset, and ensure that their identity is rooted in personal values rather than just athletic outcomes.

Clearwater is a Pinellas County city on Tampa Bay that serves as the international headquarters of the Church of Scientology, a presence that gives the city a distinctive character unlike any other of its size in the United States and creates unique mental health considerations—the city's downtown is heavily occupied by Scientology organizations, and the community dynamics around current members, Sea Org workers, and those navigating departure from the church create specific needs for therapists familiar with high-control religious groups. Beyond the Scientology context, Clearwater is a popular Gulf Coast retirement destination and a growing healthcare and tech community, and its beautiful Gulf beaches support a strong tourism and hospitality economy. Morton Plant Hospital's behavioral health services and a private therapy sector serve the broader community. Common therapy concerns include religious deconstruction and recovery from high-control group involvement, retiree adjustment and aging, anxiety, depression, and the relationship and family strains that arise in a community divided by one of its most prominent institutions.
