Hypnosis Silver Spring
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist certified by International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association
I will start by teaching you self-hypnosis and assigning you to practice it several times per day. We will do a lot of visualization - mental practice - in and out of hypnosis. We will also work with the anxieties that you experience as an athlete, both in practice and in performance, and address the particularities with hypnosis, self-hypnosis, Core Transformation, and Wholeness.
I have helped a number of athletes to better, smoother, less anxious performance, including one national champion (fencing).

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with athletes with various issues related to Sports Performance and Sports Psychology. EMDR can be used to enhance muscle eye coordination, executive focus and other areas to enhance development and athletic abilities. We can work to remove maladaptive areas to improve performance, or work to improve performance under extreme stress and pressure through a variety of techniques and coping skills. We can work to maintain healthy and balanced mood and a winning attitude of confidence and security. We will work to develop a schedule that meets your needs to create balance in life. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing this that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past abilities while embracing new ones. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping athletes achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor and specifically this can lead to blocks with respect to performance. My goal is to resolve any inner or trauma related fears to unlock the athlete's inner potential to achieve their very best performance including competing under pressure and also focusing on the acquisition of new skills and breaking maladapting patterns when needed. I have worked with athletes in Golf, Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Swimming, and Football.

Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in performance enhancement, drawing from my experiences as an operational psychologist in the U.S. Army. During my military career, I worked extensively with individuals operating in high-stress environments, helping them build mental resilience, maintain focus, and perform at their peak during critical missions. These experiences have given me a unique understanding of the psychological demands of high-pressure situations, which translates seamlessly into the world of sports and performance.
With advanced training in evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques, I help athletes and performers optimize their mental game. Whether you're striving to overcome mental blocks, enhance focus, or build confidence, my goal is to help you unlock your full potential. Together, we will develop a tailored approach to strengthen your mindset, improve performance, and achieve success in your sport or field.
