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.

Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with athletes or individuals involved in sports, I help clients strengthen the mental and emotional aspects of performance. Challenges such as performance anxiety, self-doubt, pressure, or recovering from setbacks can impact both confidence and enjoyment of the sport. Together we build greater focus, resilience, and nervous system regulation so you can approach training and competition with more clarity, confidence, and balance.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Does your child struggle with confidence on and off the court? Sports can be an immense source of pressure, and the internal narrative of a young athlete often dictates their performance as much as their physical skill. In my practice, I provide a supportive space to help your child navigate the stressors of competitive sports, manage performance anxiety, and build a resilient sense of self-worth that extends far beyond the final whistle. We will work together to quiet the inner critic, embrace a growth mindset, and ensure that their identity is rooted in personal values rather than just athletic outcomes.
