Long Island Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, CCTP
Elite performance requires more than physical training—it demands an unshakeable mindset. Whether you are an athlete struggling with performance anxiety, recovering from an injury, battling a severe slump, or fighting perfectionism, the mental blocks can feel paralyzing. I use a forward-focused blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop laser focus, manage high-stakes pressure, and build emotional resilience. Together, we will transform your relationship with stress so you can perform freely, compete at your highest level, and find joy in the game again.

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.
