About Dr. Kraska
Dr. Jenny
Kraska
Licensed Clinical & Sport Psychologist
Dr. Kraska has spent 8 years embedded inside elite collegiate athletics departments including Georgia Tech, University of Arizona, Washington State, and Arizona State. She provides mental health and performance services to student-athletes competing at the highest level.
She was also a college athlete and team captain herself. She understands what it takes to compete because she has done it.

Approach
How Dr. Kraska Works
Every session is built around you. Your sport, your challenges, your goals. Five principles guide every engagement.
01
Person-Centered
Building a strong relationship comes first. Sessions are a genuine partnership built on trust.
02
Evidence-Based
All work is grounded in proven frameworks including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), applied practically to performance and wellbeing.
03
Trauma-Informed
Sessions are built on safety, choice, and empowerment with full understanding of how past experiences shape how you perform and feel today.
04
Strength-Based
The focus is on what you already have and building from there. Not cataloguing deficits. You have more than you think.
05
Performance-Focused
Every skill developed in session has direct application in competition, in the boardroom, or wherever your performance happens.
