I understand the unique challenge that can be opening up to someone about personal thoughts, unprocessed emotions, experiences that cause suffering. I am best positioned to serve client's that are looking to feel seen, heard, and validated with care, so that you can learn to be vulnerable and know that you are not alone. I love working with client's who are motivated to improve, to challenge themselves to explore situations through different lenses, to review through unprocessed emotions, to reorganize past perspectives, to gain a better self understanding, to make changes so that they in turn can lead richer lives.

I am Dr. Jennifer Nevitt and I am a licensed psychologist in California. I think that clients can benefit from permanent change by using several approaches, but mostly about how we think about our situation, our future, and actually changing the way our brain is wired to get the best results using positive psychology that helps us see the world in a positive way, and respond to stress differently as soon as treatment begins. I use several approaches when providing psychotherapy. I am trained in psychodynamic, family systems, mindfulness, client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, and more.

Do you notice a disconnect lingering between your child and others… maybe even you? Do you struggle to understand why your child is acting out of character or doing things they shouldn’t be doing? Are you finding it difficult to be there for them in ways that are helpful? Negative thoughts and emotions can be experienced from any age, including times that don’t always make sense to many adults and parents. Sometimes the best of intentions can come across as invalidating or belittling, which can result in anxiety, depression, or even trauma.

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.
