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.

Sports Psychology
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
Performance can feel inconsistent when pressure, expectations, or overthinking start to interfere. You might notice dips in confidence, difficulty staying focused, or frustration when you’re not performing at your usual level.
Our work focuses on strengthening your mental approach so you can perform more consistently. You’ll learn how to manage pressure, stay present, and respond more effectively during competition and training.
The goal is to help you trust your preparation, stay composed under pressure, and perform in a way that reflects your actual ability.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Great athletes train their bodies — champions train their minds. Sports psychology unlocks the mental edge that separates talent from greatness. Pressure, fear, and self-doubt can sabotage performance, but mental mastery transforms them into fuel for focus and confidence. Through visualization, emotional control, and belief training, athletes learn to turn setbacks into comebacks and nerves into power. The goal isn’t just to win — it’s to perform with freedom, clarity, and joy. When your mind and heart align with your purpose, your potential becomes unstoppable. Every victory begins in the mind — and greatness follows where belief leads.

Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
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.

Sports Psychology
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.
