Victoria Jacobs
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
As a former NCAA Division I soccer player, I understand the pressure that comes with high level sport. I support athletes with the mental and emotional side of competition and training. We make room for pressure, the inner critic, injury and return to play, team dynamics, and who you are beyond results. My goal is to strengthen self worth that does not rise and fall with performance. We talk about healthy striving versus perfectionism and how to shift from harsh self talk to balanced, motivating language. I adapt evidence based psychotherapy approaches for sport contexts so the work fits your reality. I use my training in clinical hypnosis to design personalized visualization scripts for the athletes I work with. These are guided imagery exercises in your own words that support confidence, focus, and recovery. We can practice them in session and you can use them before practice or on game days. Many athletes find this helps with readiness, confidence, and post-mistake resets.

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.
