Korab Idrizi, Ph.D., Nashville psychologist for athletes and artists
Become who you truly are
Nashville psychologist working with athletes, artists, and other high performers through psychotherapy, mental performance consultation, and psychological assessment.
My Approach
I provide psychotherapy through Southeast Psych Nashville for ages 12 and up. I conceptualize psychodynamically while also incorporating elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing. In practice, that means I bring a solution-oriented approach that focuses on the issues bringing you to counseling now, while also helping you explore the long-standing patterns that may be contributing to present concerns.
Common Concerns
- Sports and performance anxiety
- Artist performance and wellness
- Men’s issues
- Life transitions
- Identity
- And more
Who I Work With
I provide psychologically informed mental performance consultation for individual athletes, artists, teams, athletic programs, schools, creators, executives, and organizations navigating pressure, identity, discipline, injury, transition, recovery, and the challenge of performing at a high level while still experiencing joy.
Focus Areas
Performance pressure, confidence, identity, preparation, communication, leadership, injury, recovery, and transitions into or out of competitive environments.
My work draws on sports and performance psychology, along with my experience as a former Division I football player, to support performance, culture, team dynamics, and sustainable excellence.
