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.
