Auran Piatigorsky, PhD, LP, CMPC

I prioritize a warm therapeutic relationship. I am genuine, open, and eager to help a client realize their life and sport goals.

I use Dialectal Mental Sport Skills (DMSS) to optimize an athlete’s mental health and sport performance. DMSS is a holistic, unified, empirically-based clinical sport psychology treatment. It is also a performance enhancement program, a teaching curriculum, a quiver of skills, and an informational workbook. DMSS is present-oriented, symptom-focused, goal-directed, flexibly-structured, time-limited, collaborative, and it can be tailored to meet an individual need. An athlete is considered to be the expert in their life/sport, and I act as their guide and confidant. DMSS is based on Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapies as well as other related disciplines.
