Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in performance enhancement, drawing from my experiences as an operational psychologist in the U.S. Army. During my military career, I worked extensively with individuals operating in high-stress environments, helping them build mental resilience, maintain focus, and perform at their peak during critical missions. These experiences have given me a unique understanding of the psychological demands of high-pressure situations, which translates seamlessly into the world of sports and performance at all levels of competition.
With advanced training in evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques, I help athletes and performers optimize their mental game. Whether you're striving to overcome mental blocks, enhance focus, or build confidence, my goal is to help you unlock your full potential. Together, we will develop a tailored approach to strengthen your mindset, improve performance, and achieve success in your sport or field.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Mental rehearsal is a core tenant of my approach to hypnosis. My motivational and success-oriented outcome hypnotic programming uses a lot of future goals visualized along with elevated emotions to mentally/emotionally rehearse the desired outcome. The subconscious responds to feelings and images very strongly and this is why so many are able to manifest what they desire, it is through mastery of this hypnotic method. We may rely on pineal gland breathing to change our chemical makeup in minutes from a low-frequency emotion to an elevated state.

Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Sports psychology isn’t just for elite professionals—it’s for any athlete who wants to perform better, enjoy the process more, and handle the mental side of training and racing. As an endurance runner myself, I understand how the mind can become the biggest limiter: race-day nerves, motivation dips, fear of failure, DNF/DNS recovery, perfectionism, or the mental fog after injury.
In our work together, we blend clinical counseling tools with practical performance strategies. Using CBT to reframe unhelpful thoughts, ACT to stay focused on what you can control, and DBT skills for emotion regulation under pressure, we address the mental barriers that affect your training consistency, race execution, and overall love of the sport.
Many clients experience meaningful gains such as:
Stronger mental toughness and resilience during tough efforts or setbacks.
Better race-day mindset tools (visualization, mantras, pacing psychology).
Improved motivation and consistency even when life gets busy.
Faster recovery from disappointing races or injuries.
Greater enjoyment and presence while running instead of constant self-pressure.
Because I’m also an assistant running coach and semi-professional ultramarathoner, I bring real-world experience to our sessions. For deeper race-specific mental strategies and non-clinical mindset coaching, I offer services through my companion site, Finish Stronger Mindset Coaching.
You don’t have to let your mind hold back your body. Whether you’re chasing PRs, building consistency, or simply wanting to love running again, we can develop the mental tools that help you show up stronger—on the starting line, in training, and across every finish line.
