Shaun Mazzocca

Registered Psychotherapist

Are you struggling to balance a busy life or feeling disconnected from your true self amid life’s transitions? I’m Shaun Mazzocca, a registered psychotherapist who supports clients aged 16 and up, with a special focus on performers and athletes facing performance anxiety, creative blocks, or self-doubt.

If rejection, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to be “enough” weigh on you, you’re not alone. Whether you’re an athlete dealing with setbacks like losing competitions or reduced playing time, or a performer facing endless auditions without landing the role, these experiences can leave you feeling frustrated, disconnected, or overwhelmed by obsessive thoughts and unhelpful behaviors.

I’ve walked this path myself—competing in football, basketball, hockey, boxing, and martial arts, while also working as an actor in film and television. I understand the unique challenges you face, and I’m here to help you develop the mental skills and confidence to thrive authentically—on stage, on the field, and in life.

Together, we’ll explore your story deeply—like an actor learning a character—uncovering why you do what you do, reconnecting with your true self, and overcoming obstacles that hold you back. My integrative approach includes Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, tailored to your needs.

Our work can shift your perspective, boost your resilience, and enhance your performance in sports, work, school, or creative pursuits. You deserve to live free, confident, and fully yourself. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’m here to support you.
