Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
I work with athletes and active adults seeking to enhance performance, focus, and mental resilience in sports or high-pressure environments. Many clients struggle with performance anxiety, motivation, self-confidence, or maintaining consistency under stress. My approach combines evidence-based psychological strategies with practical mental skills training, helping clients optimize focus, manage pressure, recover from setbacks, and perform at their best while maintaining balance and well-being.

Francis A. Bax
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
As a former touring professional bowler with local and state Hall of Fame credentials and national championship titles, I help clients who are elite and top level performers as well as those athletes with significant potential and ability to deal with the mental barriers that impact their sports performance, and provide the tools to help those performers attain the top levels in their chosen sports.

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.

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.
