YOU Are Your Toughest Opponent.
If you’re a serious athlete, you’ve probably felt it-every mistake haunts you and every expectation weighs you down. The pressure to succeed becomes so heavy that it kills your confidence and your love of the game.
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.
You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful. And you don’t need to keep beating yourself up to stay motivated.
Let's Fight That Opponent TOGETHER.
I'm Dr. Jonathan Jenkins, Psy.D., CMPC, a Harvard Medical School trained clinical and sport psychologist based in Brookline, Massachusetts. I work with athletes of every age and every level, from professionals competing in the NFL and MLB, to para athletes, to youth athletes working toward making JV or varsity.
Without the right mental game, even the most talented athletes burn out or underperform. Whether you're trying to break out of a slump, manage your anxiety, or bring more joy back to your game, I'll give you the mental tools and support to stop spiraling and start thriving.
I offer virtual individual and team sport psychology in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Speaking engagements, seminars, and mental performance trainings are available worldwide, in person or virtually.
Check Out My New Book, Mentality Wins: The Athlete's Playbook for Thriving in Sport and Life!
Written by two former collegiate athletes turned sport psychology clinicians, Mentality Wins turns science into simple daily routines so athletes can focus faster, perform under pressure, and grow their identity beyond the scoreboard.

Psychotherapy
More than an athlete, more than a diagnosis.
Psychotherapy with me isn’t just about symptoms-it’s about helping you feel grounded in who you are, beyond your sport. We’ll explore patterns, work through perfectionism or anxiety, and build healthier ways to relate to yourself and others in a space that’s supportive, honest, and empowering.
