Joseph Yourchock
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
With extensive experience in treating sports performance anxiety, I help athletes at all levels manage the mental and emotional challenges that impact their performance. I utilize techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and relaxation training to help clients reframe negative thoughts, build confidence, and reduce stress in high-pressure situations. By focusing on the mind-body connection, I guide athletes in developing resilience, maintaining focus, and performing at their best under pressure.

Brighter Health Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, LPC, LLP, LLMSW, LLPC
Do you struggle with anxiety, stress, challenges in confidence and performance, when it comes to sports or academics? We do not have a "sports psychologist", but we do have a therapist who specializes in working with young athletes and adult athletes. He has his own background in sports and academics, from his youth through to his college athletic experience. He has worked with many youth, college students, and some professional athletes during his counseling career, helping them build skills and address performance and negative thinking. Please reach out if you are interested in working with John Coleman.

Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
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.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Behind the discipline, pressure, and public image, athletes are still human - navigating relationships, identity, and the emotional cost of constant performance. My work with professional athletes goes beyond sport; it focuses on the relational and psychological demands that come with success, visibility, and private strain. Therapy offers a discreet space to process the intersections of competition, intimacy, and identity - how performance anxiety, trust issues, or infidelity can quietly affect focus, motivation, and connection at home. Together, we address the emotional load of being depended on, desired, or defined by the game, and build the tools to sustain balance both on and off the field. Sessions are conducted privately through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. For high-profile clients, confidentiality and precision are paramount — the work stays focused, contained, and entirely your own.
