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.

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.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Great athletes train their bodies — champions train their minds. Sports psychology unlocks the mental edge that separates talent from greatness. Pressure, fear, and self-doubt can sabotage performance, but mental mastery transforms them into fuel for focus and confidence. Through visualization, emotional control, and belief training, athletes learn to turn setbacks into comebacks and nerves into power. The goal isn’t just to win — it’s to perform with freedom, clarity, and joy. When your mind and heart align with your purpose, your potential becomes unstoppable. Every victory begins in the mind — and greatness follows where belief leads.

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.
