Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Sports are often treated like they’re just about performance—but for many athletes, it becomes your identity, your structure, and the lens through which you’re evaluated. You’re expected to push through, stay disciplined, and perform no matter what’s happening mentally or physically. There’s constant pressure—coaches, teammates, expectations, comparisons—and very little space to actually process what that does to you. When things start to shift—burnout, anxiety, injury, loss of confidence, or stepping away from sport—it can feel like everything underneath it gets shaken too.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t just focus on performance—we look at the full impact. We help you understand how pressure, expectations, and identity are shaping how you show up, both in your sport and outside of it. From there, we actively build strategies that actually hold under pressure—regulation, focus, recovery, and ways to respond to setbacks without spiraling. We also name the culture of sports itself—the normalization of overtraining, the tying of worth to performance, the lack of space for anything outside of winning—so you’re not internalizing something that was never yours to carry. This is about helping you perform with clarity and consistency, while also building a sense of self that isn’t dependent on how you perform that day.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a former collegiate volleyball and softball player, I understand that athletic performance incorporates so much more than physical training. I work with athletes who are struggling with anxiety, confidence, focus, or team dynamics. Additionally, I see athletes after they have experienced some major event in their athletic lives; such as acute and chronic injuries, pain, illness, or physical changes with aging. Athletes also struggle frequently with eating concerns and body image. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating sports-related performance.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed sports performance counseling and sports psychology coaching for athletes seeking to improve focus, confidence, consistency, and performance under pressure. He works with athletes across multiple sports, including golf, basketball, soccer, baseball, ice hockey, swimming, tennis, and football, supporting both competitive and recreational performers.
Many athletes struggle with performance anxiety, confidence blocks, inconsistency, fear of failure, difficulty performing under pressure, or mental barriers that interfere with reaching their full potential. These challenges can affect reaction time, decision-making, focus, emotional regulation, and overall performance outcomes.
Brad takes a holistic, performance-focused approach to sports psychology, helping athletes strengthen mental resilience, improve concentration, regulate performance anxiety, and develop a more confident and stable mindset in competition. Therapy and coaching are tailored to the individual athlete’s goals, sport demands, and competitive environment.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), mental performance strategies, visualization techniques, emotional regulation skills, and holistic coaching approaches to help athletes identify and reduce mental blocks that may interfere with peak performance. This can include working through past experiences, performance-related stress, or underlying emotional patterns that impact confidence and focus.
Sessions may focus on building pre-performance routines, improving focus under pressure, enhancing recovery from mistakes, and developing a strong, consistent “competitive mindset.” Athletes also work on balancing training demands with mental and emotional well-being to support sustainable performance and prevent burnout.
Brad’s approach is collaborative and individualized, helping athletes create practical mental strategies they can apply in training and competition. The goal is not only improved performance outcomes, but also greater confidence, enjoyment of the sport, and long-term mental resilience.
With the right mental training and support, athletes can overcome performance barriers, unlock greater consistency, and compete with clarity, confidence, and control under pressure.
