Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re an athlete or performer, you may know exactly what you’re capable of—yet find that in key moments, you don’t perform at your best. You might overthink, lose focus, feel pressure, or struggle with confidence despite strong preparation and skill. This gap between what you can do in practice and what shows up under pressure can be frustrating and hard to explain.
I help athletes close that gap by training both the mind and the body to perform consistently under pressure. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the thought patterns that interfere with focus and confidence. With clinical hypnosis, NLP, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), we work at a deeper level to strengthen concentration, reduce performance anxiety, and condition automatic responses that support peak performance. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay present, grounded, and fully engaged in the moment—so you can execute rather than overthink.
What’s often missing isn’t ability—you already have the skill set. What’s missing is a reliable way to access that ability consistently, especially when it matters most. Without that, performance can feel unpredictable, and confidence can fluctuate based on outcomes rather than staying stable.
The fact that you’re here suggests you want to perform at a higher level. If you’re willing to train your mind as intentionally as you train your body, I can help you improve focus, build confidence, and perform more consistently when it counts.

Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Being your best both physically and mentally are crucial for success in sports and other competitive activities. Sport psychology can help you master mental strategies to perform better. Issues such as injury prevention and recovery, fears and anxiety, goal setting and achievement, and more can be addressed with sport psychology. I studied and trained in sport psychology at the University of North Texas, and I can help you improve your physical and mental game.

More and more athletes are sharing their struggle and story with mental health concerns including athletes in the NFL, NBA, Olympics, WTT. Athletes in elite sports sharing their personal experiences with mental health has positively impacted mental health publicity and others receiving treatment and support. Individual psychotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for a range of presenting concerns or issues and can help with managing anxiety and stress.
