Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
As a former Division I gymnast and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), I understand sport from both a professional and a personal perspective. I work with youth, college, and professional athletes and high performers (performing artists, executives) across disciplines to address the mental side of performance. I can help high performers overcome mental blocks, build confidence, enhance present-moment focus, and feel more calm under pressure. Whether you're looking to break through a plateau, recover from injury, or simply get out of your own head, I can help you perform at your best and actually enjoy it.

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.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Athletic performance breaks down between the ears before it breaks down on the field. Choke moments, performance anxiety, inconsistency under pressure these are subconscious patterns, not skill gaps. I work with competitive athletes to rebuild the identity they compete from: new pressure responses, new pre-performance baselines, and a nervous system calibrated for execution when it counts most.

Being your best both physically and mentally are crucial for success in sports and other competitive activities. Sport psychology can help you master mental strategies to perform better. Issues such as injury prevention and recovery, fears and anxiety, goal setting and achievement, and more can be addressed with sport psychology. I studied and trained in sport psychology at the University of North Texas, and I can help you improve your physical and mental game.

Online in Lexington, KY Kentucky (Online Only)
Lexington sits at the center of Kentucky's Bluegrass region with a character distinct from Louisville — the University of Kentucky drives a significant student and young professional population alongside a traditional agricultural and equestrian community. The city's proximity to Appalachia means therapists frequently encounter the mental health effects of the region's opioid crisis, intergenerational poverty, and community grief tied to economic decline. UK HealthCare — the University of Kentucky's academic medical system — provides institutional mental health resources, with private practices concentrated in Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and Hamburg Pavilion. Lexington's horse industry also supports a niche clientele of equestrian athletes and industry professionals navigating performance pressure and career identity.
