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.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Mental rehearsal is a core tenant of my approach to hypnosis. My motivational and success-oriented outcome hypnotic programming uses a lot of future goals visualized along with elevated emotions to mentally/emotionally rehearse the desired outcome. The subconscious responds to feelings and images very strongly and this is why so many are able to manifest what they desire, it is through mastery of this hypnotic method. We may rely on pineal gland breathing to change our chemical makeup in minutes from a low-frequency emotion to an elevated state.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When anxiety interferes with performance, it can feel frustrating and discouraging. By learning to work with anxiety rather than fight against it, you can cultivate the confidence and focus needed to stay in flow and perform at your best. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your autonomic nervous system and develop practical tools to help you find your optimal zone—where you can accelerate when needed, ease up when it’s time to recover, and consistently access your highest potential.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a former collegiate volleyball and softball player, I understand that athletic performance incorporates so much more than physical training. I work with athletes who are struggling with anxiety, confidence, focus, or team dynamics. Additionally, I see athletes after they have experienced some major event in their athletic lives; such as acute and chronic injuries, pain, illness, or physical changes with aging. Athletes also struggle frequently with eating concerns and body image. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating sports-related performance.
