Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
As a former Division I rugby player, I support athletes navigating performance pressure, identity, confidence, and transitions in and out of sport. My approach emphasizes positive sports psychology, mental resilience, and sustainable wellness both on and off the field. Dealing with the mental aspect of injuries is another battle that is just as much mental as it is physical for clients, which I have a great deal of understanding on and a lot of support to offer athletes seeking services.

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.
