Alexandra Brown, LCSW: Specialized EMDR for Elite Athletes & Performers

For over a decade, I have worked with some of the most talented individuals in their fields; people who appear completely capable to the world, yet feel like they are losing their grip on the inside.

I’ve seen the same pattern repeat: you have the expertise and the drive, yet in high-stakes moments, a "glitch" takes over. You start overthinking things that should be second nature. Your body tightens, your focus fractures, and it feels like you are navigating through a thick mental haze. You aren’t "weak" or "unprepared”; you are simply performing through a layer of internal friction that makes every instinctual move feel forced and exhausting.

Moving Beyond Talk Therapy: The Shift to EMDR

I knew there had to be a better way to help my clients than just talking about the pressure. That’s why I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

I realized that performance blocks aren't a lack of talent; they are physiological survival responses stored in the nervous system from past performance disruptions or high-pressure events. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often just gives you more things to analyze, EMDR actually clears the neurological "noise" that triggers the freeze response.

By addressing the interference at the source, your training and talent can take over without you having to think about it.

Reclaiming the Flow State:

The result is a shift from paralyzing hesitation and second-guessing back to automatic flow. My clients regain the ability to trust their instincts to fire without their mind getting in the way. They move from being "stuck in their heads" to a place of sharp mental clarity and resilience.

They finally trade the internal battle for a quiet, grounded confidence that allows them to show up fully, both under the lights and behind the scenes.

My Commitment to Elite Performers:

I am dedicated to providing this "nervous system reset" exclusively for professional athletes. Using a specialized EMDR protocol designed to de-clutter the performing brain, we don’t just talk about performance anxiety, we target the specific moments that hijacked your focus: the missed plays, the "off" performances, or the harsh critiques.

We clear the physiological blocks so your natural talent can take the lead again. I am honored to help elite athletes reclaim their edge and achieve the kind of effortless "flow" that allows them to perform at their absolute peak.
