I provide sports and performance psychology to high school, college, and professional athletes. I have worked with world-class athletes in a variety of sports (softball, baseball, soccer, figure skating, fencing, dance, basketball, and more). Whether you are a high school athlete or a professional, I use the most advanced, innovative techniques. I aim to help you feel "flow" more often, improve your overall performance, and experience a new and lasting sense of joy.

Alberto Gamarra
Psychologist, Ph. D. NCSP
In today's athletic environment, there are so many "issues" for parents and their student-athletes to overcome. A few of the topics that I have worked with in my 20+ years include: parent/coach dynamics, sideline behavior, athlete motivation, performance issues, concussions, goal-setting, team building, injury recovery, and career termination. Each of these areas is approached with care and individuality that they deserve, no 2 student-athletes present in the same way.

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.

Jason Brown LPC-S
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, CMHC, CCATP-CA
While I am not a Sports Psychologist I do enjoy working with athletes of all ages, sports, and levels of competition. Dealing with the pressure of success on the field or court, coming back from an injury, changing teams, and making decisions about the future can all be overwhelming. Performance anxiety and fear of failure often holds many great athletes from being at the top of their game. Let's work together to overcome these obstacles and help you be mentally prepared to play the game and compete at the level you want.

McAllen is the largest city in the Rio Grande Valley, a predominantly Spanish-speaking border region where the daily realities of life on the US-Mexico border—immigration, family separation, cross-border economic uncertainty, and the psychological stress of living in a highly scrutinized border community—shape the mental health landscape in ways that are unlike those of any other part of Texas. Spanish-language therapy is not merely preferred but essential in McAllen, and the demand for bilingual practitioners far outpaces supply in a region that is chronically underserved for mental health professionals per capita. The Rio Grande Valley ranks among the most underserved regions in the country for mental health care, and while health systems like DHR Health and South Texas Health System provide some behavioral health services, many residents go without needed support. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related anxiety and trauma, family separation stress, economic uncertainty, and the complex identity challenges of life in a bicultural, binational border community.
