Positive Psychology
The new movement to research "positive psychology" is a step on the road to helping people "learn happiness". Instead of focusing on fixing problems, the therapist shares findings about increasing life satisfaction, and explores personal values and goals to incorporate these practices into your life.
Sport Psychology
Sport psychologists study the factors that influence participation and performance improvement in sports and exercise. Athletes and exercise enthusiasts often consult with a psychologist to lessen performance anxiety at competitions, improve focus and enhance performance. Therapists may also work with coaches to increase motivations in their athletes, improve compliance with training, further rehabilitation after injuries, and enhance communication and leadership styles. Sport psychologists may work with amateurs or professionals, individuals or teams.
