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.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Behind the discipline, pressure, and public image, athletes are still human - navigating relationships, identity, and the emotional cost of constant performance. My work with professional athletes goes beyond sport; it focuses on the relational and psychological demands that come with success, visibility, and private strain. Therapy offers a discreet space to process the intersections of competition, intimacy, and identity - how performance anxiety, trust issues, or infidelity can quietly affect focus, motivation, and connection at home. Together, we address the emotional load of being depended on, desired, or defined by the game, and build the tools to sustain balance both on and off the field. Sessions are conducted privately through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. For high-profile clients, confidentiality and precision are paramount — the work stays focused, contained, and entirely your own.
