PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGIST AND COACH
ABOUT Dr. Stephanie Livingston
Welcome to my practice–psychologist and coach
Hello. I’m Dr Stephanie Livingston licensed clinical and performance psychologist and coach. I help people reach their maximum potential through optimal performance strategies in the following areas: TALENTS (sports & entertainment); WORK: (job & school) and WELL-BEING (health & dating).
You may be wondering if you need a clinical psychologist or coach, or both. The former usually focuses on relieving suffering (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress); while coaches tend to emphasize improving performance in various aspects of their lives. Dr. Stephanie is uniquely positioned to assess what those needs are and make recommendations accordingly. You may have a special talent that you want to improve upon, lack focus at work or school, or want to learn better ways to manage your health or personal life.
Do you choke when you take the mic, take a test, or approach a potential mate? This is what we call “performance anxiety”–when your heart races, mouth gets dry, and hands are sweaty. Suddenly, you can’t remember well-rehearsed information or you can’t seen to speak the right words. We’ve all experienced these moments of “fight or flight” when we are stressed performing in front of a group or just trying to manage the hassles of everyday life. Most times these stressors are not problematic, but if gone unchecked, they can have a cumulative effect over time and impact our minds, bodies, and behavior. If this problem becomes chronic, you may need professional help. Managing this stress reaction is the key to optimal performance.
Whether you are facing a performance setback, lack confidence, suffer from “imposter syndrome”, or just want to get better at life, the solution is here. The good news is that there are ways to work around the debilitating effects of stress whether it’s acute or chronic. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Stephanie has the skills to address your needs from the boardroom to the bedroom and guide you to the next level. Her holistic approach is based on proven psychological principles of positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)/mindfulness, and biofeedback.
