My ideal client struggles with panic attacks, panic disorder, agoraphobia, or trauma-related anxiety. They feel trapped—avoiding places, bracing for the next attack, or haunted by past experiences. Many have tried therapy before and felt frustrated when it didn’t work. They need something structured, active, and effective. My approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with exposure therapy, and for trauma cases, I offer EMDR—an evidence-based treatment that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and break the cycle of fear.

In a world where information flows endlessly, in a city as fast and restless as New York, how do we carve out a space just for ourselves? A quiet place where we can breathe deeply and find peace amidst the noise. We all have moments when we feel lost, when the world's weight makes us feel small. Times when we are down, unsettled, empty, or lonely - even when surrounded by others. We long for someone to talk to, someone who will listen without judgment, who will hold space for our thoughts and feelings.

Sports Performance Therapists
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.
How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.
How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.
What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
