Mental Coaching

Alison earned her Doctorate of Psychology in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Sport Psychology and a Master’s of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.  She is a practicing psychotherapist in the state of California and works with clients in her private practice at Curdt Performance Therapy in Los Angeles. 

Dr. Curdt’s specialty is working with athletes on the mental side of their performance. Issues such as depression, performance anxiety, “choking” during a performance, and mindfulness focus are just a few of the aspects Alison has helped her athlete-clients with. Athletes who have lost themselves within their sport and want to improve their relationship with their sport are other issues that may come up. She uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Brainspotting, among other modalities, to help athletes process athletic “traumas” and optimize peak performance. She has published her research on golf trauma’s impact on confidence and anxiety. Click the link below if you’d like to read it.
