How We Can Help
Individual Counseling
Our individual counseling services are designed to support teens, young adults, and professionals dealing with anxiety, stress, life transitions, and confidence issues. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and performance counseling, we help clients develop emotional resilience, improve self-esteem, and navigate challenges with clarity and purpose. Whether you're facing everyday stressors or deeper struggles, we provide a supportive and personalized space to help you grow, heal, and move forward. In-person and virtual sessions are available to fit your schedule and needs.
Athlete Mental Performance Counseling
For student-athletes and competitors at all levels, we offer mental performance coaching to improve focus, resilience, and confidence. Whether facing performance anxiety, burnout, or pressure from high-stakes play, we help athletes develop the mindset needed to perform consistently—on and off the field. We have helped youth players all the way up to D1 teams, coaches and players maximize their potential. Just like coaches we focus on problem areas, use drills and exercises to build confidence and skills, and motivate each athlete to optimize their performance.
With how all levels of sports have become more competitive everyone needs an edge!
College Admissions Consulting (Private Pay Only)
Navigating applying to college can be very stressful for both kids and parents. Alec has worked with hundreds of kids applying to college over the years and has helped students get into school like Princeton, Cornell, Penn State, Rutgers and many more.

Designed for 10th–12th graders, our consulting supports students with strategy, clarity, and confidence—reducing stress and maximizing outcomes. (Not covered by insurance.)
