Founder & CEO

Derek Barros, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)

Focus, Resilience & Elite Level Performance

I help athletes and high performers thrive under pressure.

With a foundation in psychology, trauma-informed care, and competitive sport, my work blends mental performance training with real-world experience. I hold dual Bachelor’s degrees in Criminal Justice and Political Science from Plymouth State University and a Master’s in School Adjustment and Mental Health Counseling from Cambridge College, with a focus in trauma studies.

I bring 10 years of coaching experience, 10 years as a School Adjustment Counselor, and three years of private practice into my work, alongside experience collaborating with Power Five college coaches and professional soccer players. I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC), Licensed School Adjustment Counselor (SAC) and Licensed Massachusetts Mediator.

My approach is modern, evidence-based, and performance-focused—designed for athletes who want consistency, composure, and confidence when the stakes are highest.
