Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel stuck, anxious, or frustrated in your performance or training? Many athletes and performers push themselves hard while ignoring mental or emotional barriers, believing that struggle is “part of the process.” Over time, pressure, self-doubt, or fear of failure can hold you back from your full potential.
These experiences are not weaknesses—they are signals about where support could help you perform and recover more effectively. Together, we can explore your mindset, develop strategies for focus, resilience, and confidence, and help you feel more in control and lighter as you pursue your goals. You care about performance for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is increasingly being used in the field of sport psychology to help athletes improve their mental performance. While EMDR is primarily known for its effectiveness in treating trauma-related issues, it can also be adapted to address various challenges athletes face, such as performance anxiety, self-doubt, and past failures.
In sports psychology, EMDR can assist athletes in reprocessing and reducing the emotional impact of negative experiences or limiting beliefs that may hinder their performance. By doing so, it can help athletes develop greater mental resilience, enhance their focus, and overcome mental barriers that may be holding them back in their athletic endeavors. While EMDR is not a universal solution for all sports-related challenges, it can be a valuable tool when tailored to address an athlete's specific psychological needs. Working with a sports psychologist trained in EMDR can be beneficial for those seeking to optimize their mental game in sports.

Junie Baek
Registered Psychotherapist, MTA, RP (Qualifying)
Performance anxiety results from many reasons but sometimes from a fear of judgment or failure, leading to heightened stress in situations where one is evaluated or expected to perform. Performance anxiety can be a heavy burden for musicians, students, athletes, or anyone, holding them back from reaching their full potential. As a long-time musician who performed since a young age, I deeply understand what it is like to be a musician and to be under constant pressure. I provide a compassionate space to explore these fears, helping you understand and manage the pressure. Together, we'll build strategies to regain confidence and channel your energy positively, so you can perform with clarity and thrive in your passion. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

Online in Kingston, ON
Kingston is a historic Ontario city at the junction of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, home to Queen's University—one of Canada's leading universities—the Royal Military College of Canada, and an unusually high concentration of federal correctional institutions, which together shape a distinctive community with university, military, and criminal justice populations all coexisting in a relatively small city. Queen's University's student mental health services are a major resource, and the Royal Military College's close-knit military community creates specific needs around service identity, transition, and trauma. The correctional sector workforce—correctional officers, administrators, and support staff at Kingston's several federal penitentiaries—faces unique occupational stress and trauma exposure that is an important dimension of the local mental health landscape. Common therapy concerns include student wellbeing and academic pressure at Queen's, military identity and transition, correctional sector occupational trauma, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a city with an unusually complex and layered community character.
