Dr. David Leibovitz
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Sport psychology is a growing science. We utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as years of clinical sport psychology experience, to help professional athletes (as well as amateur athletes) break through barriers to success. We utilize evidence-based skills such as mindfulness, cognitive diffusion, exposure, physical preparedness, visualization, and much more as we help you change your relationship with your thoughts. Approaching our thoughts in a healthier way can have a profound impact on our athletic performance.

Dr. Samantha Morris
Psychologist, PsyD
I have experience working with athletes from HS, collegiate, professional, and Olympic levels. I have specific knowledge about the stressors that come with being an athlete and performing at high levels. I work extensively with DI college athletes and am listed on the USOPC Mental Health Directory. Some of my interests and specialties within the field of sports psychology include anxiety (including performance anxiety), mindfulness, injury, return to sport after injury, managing chronic health conditions while being an athlete, and high pressure positions.

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.
