Aaron Kapin

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT

To be a sustainable in your efforts to excel, it's important to be able to not only access your drive, but also to actually fully rest on your off-time. Somatic Experiencing can help with both of those things. And if you have an injury or trauma on the way that starts blocking your ability to do the things you want to do, we can work together to help your body bounce back from the stress of that incident.

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.

Carrie Gauthier

Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt

Mental rehearsal is a core tenant of my approach to hypnosis. My motivational and success-oriented outcome hypnotic programming uses a lot of future goals visualized along with elevated emotions to mentally/emotionally rehearse the desired outcome. The subconscious responds to feelings and images very strongly and this is why so many are able to manifest what they desire, it is through mastery of this hypnotic method. We may rely on pineal gland breathing to change our chemical makeup in minutes from a low-frequency emotion to an elevated state.
