Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Integrating mental health support with athletic performance requires a specialized understanding of the "athlete's mindset." Whether you are a competitive student-athlete (ages 10+), a collegiate performer, or a weekend warrior, our Master’s level, clinically licensed therapists help you bridge the gap between your mental well-being and your physical goals.
The Mental Edge: Therapy for Athletes & Performers
In sports, mental health is performance. We help athletes move past the mental blocks that keep them from their full potential, while ensuring they remain resilient individuals outside of their sport.
How We Support Athletes
We address the unique pressures of the athletic world using evidence-based clinical tools:
Identity & Self-Esteem: We help athletes build a sense of self that isn't solely tied to their stats or win/loss record—a crucial step for long-term mental health.
Injury Recovery: Navigating the grief and frustration of being sidelined, helping you maintain a positive mindset during physical rehab.
High-Conflict Systems: For youth athletes, we help navigate the "high-conflict" dynamics that can arise between players, parents, and coaches.
Our Specialized Youth Approach (Ages 10+)
For younger athletes, we utilize specialized interactive software to help them visualize goals, track their emotional "game film," and build the self-esteem necessary to thrive both on and off the field.
Your Performance Roadmap
Every athlete’s journey starts with a full assessment to determine where your mental "blind spots" are.
Clinical Assessment: We look at the intersection of your life and your sport.
Goal Setting: We set specific markers for success—such as reducing pre-game panic, improving focus, or healing from a past injury.
Collaborative Plan: We discuss a treatment plan together that respects your training schedule and competitive season.
We know that athletes have demanding schedules. We make it easy to get the support you need:
Online Therapy: Meet with your therapist from home or while traveling for games.
Free Consults: Meet with a therapist to ensure they "get" your sport and your goals before you dive in.

Yoendry Torres
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Success in the arena is 90% mental. As a 5th dan black belt and Poomsae athlete, I understand the razor-thin margin between victory and defeat. I help athletes move beyond 'mental blocks' by integrating mindfulness and cognitive strategies to achieve a flow state under pressure. Whether you are battling performance anxiety, recovering from injury, or struggling with the transition out of competitive sports, we will work to develop a 'black belt' mindset, disciplined, resilient, and centered.

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.

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with athletes with various issues related to Sports Performance and Sports Psychology. EMDR can be used to enhance muscle eye coordination, executive focus and other areas to enhance development and athletic abilities. We can work to remove maladaptive areas to improve performance, or work to improve performance under extreme stress and pressure through a variety of techniques and coping skills. We can work to maintain healthy and balanced mood and a winning attitude of confidence and security. We will work to develop a schedule that meets your needs to create balance in life. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing this that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past abilities while embracing new ones. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping athletes achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor and specifically this can lead to blocks with respect to performance. My goal is to resolve any inner or trauma related fears to unlock the athlete's inner potential to achieve their very best performance including competing under pressure and also focusing on the acquisition of new skills and breaking maladapting patterns when needed. I have worked with athletes in Golf, Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Swimming, and Football.
