Sports Performance Therapists in Bethesda, MD

I am a therapist with 20 years' experience providing holistic brain-based treatment for enhanced decision making and performance coaching as well as trauma informed therapy to adolescents and adults. This approach allows me to treat PTSD, anxiety and depression but also offers brain-based coaching for career challenges, performance enhancement, future visualization. My therapy style is client centered and non-judgmental. I focus on three areas - EMDR for trauma healing, depression and anxiety. EMDR (visualization) for sports injury recovery and EMDR for high level decision making (home purchase, college, career etc.)

My passion is helping adults and adolescents achieve well-being and balance. As a licensed psychologist, I offer traditional counseling services.

Sometimes we come across challenges that can be tough to manage on our own. If you are new to therapy, reaching out for help is a huge act of determination that takes SO much courage! My name is Umniya and I am a counselor specializing in children, adolescents, and families. I am committed to bringing a compassionate, supportive, holistic, and culturally sensitive approach to help clients process life experiences and maximize their potential. I prioritize a collaborative and eclectic approach to ensure clients achieve personal growth and self-awareness and gain insight into their problems.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. As a former high school coach and counselor, I provide a unique approach that is both authentic and encouraging in nature. I work best with clients that are open-minded and adaptable as well as introspective and contemplative. Sense of humor plays an essential role in developing the rapport I have with my clients. Once that is established, I make sure to carefully listen to each individual's unique story, assist in planning ahead for challenges, channel strengths, and collaboratively track progress together.

I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, relationship distress, identity development, perfectionism, and managing change. One area of specialization is working with current and former athletes, coaches, caregivers of athletes, and individuals in high-stress jobs, particularly individuals who experience physical injury, burnout, relationship issues on and off the field, performance anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and body image concerns. My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive and collaborative space and relationship with my clients to allow for in-depth exploration and perspective taking.

Hi, my name is Tanya Vincent and I would be honored to be your Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have over a decade of experience as a psychotherapist serving children, families, couples, athletes and individuals from all walks of life by providing various counseling techniques best suited for my clients. I believe in meeting clients where they are and using a collaborative style of counseling to uncover the root causes of their mental health needs. I customize treatments for each person/couple using techniques such as, but not limited to, motivational interviewing, strength-based and solution-focused counseling.

I love helping individuals and couples achieve their goals and aspirations. I offer a caring, safe, and healing environment that allows clients the opportunity to explore, experience, work through problems, and create solutions that expand their potential for growth and wellness. As a proponent of integrative and holistic therapy that honors the mind-body connection and its impact on well-being, health, and happiness, I attend to the whole person, not just a set of symptoms or problems. I emphasize teaching skills that develop inner resources for successful coping in life. I use a variety of methods, but the method has to meet your needs.

My goal throughout our time together is to first create a space where the client feels comfortable and empowered to explore his/her emotions. In doing so, I help individuals identify the things that are most affecting their mental health and work collaboratively with clients to develop healthy habits that will positively affect one’s life. Sessions will include talk-therapy, reflection, and the development of healthy coping skills using a client-centered model. I hope to make each client feel as though their mental health is a priority and that they are worthy of clarity and happiness.

Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.

Stress and emotional pain are feelings that we all experience and often times it can become overwhelming, especially now! Often we find unhealthy ways to cope with the pain that we are feeling and our problems get worse. With my experience as a therapist, I have helped many young people walk the path to a healthy form of emotional healing. Whether you yourself or your child is struggling with feeling down, having excessive worry, struggling to concentrate, acting out, or drinking/smoking too much, therapy can help.

I specialize in treating college-age young adults who are either in college or reevaluating whether or not college is for them.
