Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with athletes with various issues related to Sports Performance and Sports Psychology. EMDR can be used to enhance muscle eye coordination, executive focus and other areas to enhance development and athletic abilities. We can work to remove maladaptive areas to improve performance, or work to improve performance under extreme stress and pressure through a variety of techniques and coping skills. We can work to maintain healthy and balanced mood and a winning attitude of confidence and security. We will work to develop a schedule that meets your needs to create balance in life. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing this that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past abilities while embracing new ones. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping athletes achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor and specifically this can lead to blocks with respect to performance. My goal is to resolve any inner or trauma related fears to unlock the athlete's inner potential to achieve their very best performance including competing under pressure and also focusing on the acquisition of new skills and breaking maladapting patterns when needed. I have worked with athletes in Golf, Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Swimming, and Football.

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.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Hypnosis is a valuable tool for those seeking a competitive edge in sports performance. I have been involved with sports performance improvement since the 1970’s through my work with sports competitors to include recreational golfers, collegiate middle-distance runners and swimmers, marathon runners, and others. Noteworthy, among my clients, has been a CIF track and field champion, a swimmer on Cal Berkeley’s 2X national championship team, a collegiate middle-distance champion, and a marathoner who successfully completed the Mount Everest Marathon.
Addressing the performance aspects of sports through hypnosis complements physical training and can lead to breakthrough performances. My use of hypnosis works by reprogramming negative self-talk, empowering performance through affirmations and guided imagery, boosting confidence, and reducing anxiety. In that pre-competition jitters or fear of failure can derail an athlete’s mindset, hypnosis employs subconscious relaxation techniques and guided imagery to reduce cortisol levels and promote a calm composed state of mind, while fostering a winning attitude.
Studies have shown the efficacy of hypnosis in sports. For example, a 2016 review in the International Journal of Sports Science highlighted significant performance improvements in athletes who used hypnosis compared to those who did not. Those who used hypnosis reported better focus, reduced pre-competition anxiety, and enhanced execution of skills after hypnosis sessions.
In sports performance counseling, my use of hypnosis facilitates vivid mental imagery, allowing athletes to visualize successful performance. Research has shown that mental rehearsal can strengthen neural pathways, helping the body to perform as if it has already achieved the desired outcome. Using hypnotic relaxation to tap into an athlete’s subconscious allows the competitor to tap into their commitment to training, discipline, and goal achievement in a stress-free manner.
