Sports Performance Therapists in The Colony, TX

What if you could prevent, prepare, even predict when an athlete struggles? What if you could manage the struggle better whether anxiety, lack of confidence, low motivation, or more serious issues such as depression, addiction, lack of discipline, and poor communication. I take each client through a mental assessment process utilizing the MBTI along with neuroscience and a mental health screening. Results include an Athletic Report, Stress Management Report, and Career Report, along with a Recommendation Plan for improvement. Clients gain a clear understanding of their innate strengths & weaknesses plus the next steps for progress.

If you want to change your life, change your mind.

As a sports psychologist, I have a unique practice in that I specialize in working with athletes who have the desire to take their game to the next level. Being a competitive athlete helps me relate to other competitive people in sports or business. My primary focus is on confidence building and the elimination of performance anxiety. I use a 3 tiered approach to training: Perspective Training, Mental Skills Training, and Applied Settings (if applicable at a sporting location). I am the only professional to offer that kind of travel service. I also travel with the PGA Tour with clients if you are a Professional Golfer.

As a former member of the National Gymnastics Team from my home country Venezuela, I experience first hand the importance of balancing mental, emotional and physical health to achieve personal goals.

Those are strength that we all have but sometimes we haven't developed them yet. I offer you a supportive, warm, non-judgmental environment to overcome the barriers that keep you from achieving your goals and becoming who you want to be.
