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.

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Performance under pressure is a mental skill, not just a physical one. Every athlete knows what it feels like to train well and compete poorly, to let a mistake spiral, to tighten up at the wrong moment, or to carry the weight of expectation in a way that works against you. The physical side of athletic performance gets enormous attention. The mental side is often undertrained, misunderstood, or ignored entirely until it becomes a problem.
I bring both clinical training and firsthand experience to this work. I have competed at a high level, captained teams, and coached a championship baseball program. I understand what it takes to perform when it matters, how quickly confidence can erode under pressure, and what separates athletes who get the most out of their ability from those who do not. That experience shapes how I work with athletes in a way that no textbook alone can replicate.
In our work together, we address the mental side of performance directly. That includes managing anxiety and performance pressure, developing focus and consistency, building resilience after setbacks or injury, working through slumps, and strengthening the mental habits that allow athletes to compete at their ceiling rather than below it. We also address the identity and transition challenges that come with sport, including what happens when a career or playing days come to an end.
I work with athletes at every level, from high school competitors navigating recruitment pressure to college athletes managing expectations to adult athletes and executives who bring a performance mindset to everything they do.
If you are ready to take the mental side of your performance as seriously as the physical, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
To be a sustainable in your efforts to excel, it's important to be able to not only access your drive, but also to actually fully rest on your off-time. Somatic Experiencing can help with both of those things.
And if you have an injury or trauma on the way that starts blocking your ability to do the things you want to do, we can work together to help your body bounce back from the stress of that incident.
