Sports Psychology
Josh Thames
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC
As a baseball and basketball coach for 15 years, I've seen that the mental health of an athlete is likely more important to their success than their physical health. Too often, there's not enough emphasis on growing mental strength. From performance anxiety, conflict with coaches or teammates, lack of motivation, "the yips" or many other issues, we can work to find the root cause of the situation and develop a plan. Trying to figure this out on your own isn't working. Let's find a path forward together.

Alex Stachowski
Pre-Licensed Professional, NCC, MA
Athletes often learn to push through pressure, but mental strain can quietly build beneath discipline and determination. I work with student-athletes and competitive individuals to manage performance anxiety, injury-related identity shifts, recruitment stress, and burnout. Together, we strengthen emotional resilience so success remains grounded, sustainable, and aligned with personal well-being.

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.
