Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Athletes face a unique combination of performance pressure, expectations, identity, competition, and setbacks. As a former collegiate athlete, I understand the demands of competitive sports and work with athletes on performance anxiety, confidence, perfectionism, motivation, injury and transition, and managing the mental side of competition.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide sports psychology services to help athletes enhance performance, build mental resilience, and maintain focus under pressure.

My work focuses on developing a strong mental framework that translates into consistent performance, effective recovery from setbacks, and sustained success in both training and competition.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Behind the discipline, pressure, and public image, athletes are still human - navigating relationships, identity, and the emotional cost of constant performance. My work with professional athletes goes beyond sport; it focuses on the relational and psychological demands that come with success, visibility, and private strain. Therapy offers a discreet space to process the intersections of competition, intimacy, and identity - how performance anxiety, trust issues, or infidelity can quietly affect focus, motivation, and connection at home. Together, we address the emotional load of being depended on, desired, or defined by the game, and build the tools to sustain balance both on and off the field. Sessions are conducted privately through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. For high-profile clients, confidentiality and precision are paramount — the work stays focused, contained, and entirely your own.

I have experience working with athletes from HS, collegiate, professional, and Olympic levels. I have specific knowledge about the stressors that come with being an athlete and performing at high levels. I work extensively with DI college athletes and am listed on the USOPC Mental Health Directory. Some of my interests and specialties within the field of sports psychology include anxiety (including performance anxiety), mindfulness, injury, return to sport after injury, managing chronic health conditions while being an athlete, and high pressure positions.
11 Years Experience
Online in Vancouver, WA Washington (Online Only)
Vancouver, Washington sits directly across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon, and its mental health landscape is shaped by its dual identity as an independent city and a satellite of Portland's larger urban ecosystem. Many residents commute into Oregon for work, and a significant number access Portland's broader therapy market alongside local Clark County providers. Common therapy concerns include stress related to rapid population growth and rising housing costs, work-life balance, relationship difficulties, and the economic pressures facing households in a Pacific Northwest metro area. Washington's and Oregon's mental health systems are each accessible to Vancouver residents, giving the city's population an unusually broad range of in-person and telehealth options.
