Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
Performance can feel inconsistent when pressure, expectations, or overthinking start to interfere. You might notice dips in confidence, difficulty staying focused, or frustration when you’re not performing at your usual level.
Our work focuses on strengthening your mental approach so you can perform more consistently. You’ll learn how to manage pressure, stay present, and respond more effectively during competition and training.
The goal is to help you trust your preparation, stay composed under pressure, and perform in a way that reflects your actual ability.

Nashville's identity as the hub of the country music and entertainment industries creates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, creative identity, and the psychological pressures of a career where public persona and private self are often difficult to separate. The city's explosive growth — driven by healthcare, technology, and tourism — has brought a large influx of transplants navigating social isolation and the challenge of building community in a fast-changing city. Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA Healthcare, one of the largest hospital systems in the country, provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of private practices. Nashville's strong faith community means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
