Brian Baxter, MA Sports Psychology

Sports Psychology Consultant: Bethany Physical Therapy

Brian Baxter, MA Sport Psychology, is a sport psychology consultant in the Portland area working for the Sport Psychology Institute Northwest, Therapeutic Associates-Bethany Physical Therapy, as well as his own company, BaxterSports. As a two-sport athlete in high school in Gainesville, FL, he learned the value of confidence and the mental game while kicking field goals and playing soccer. 

After a 4 year collegiate soccer career, Brian went into soccer coaching and earned a USSF C license. His time as a coach reaffirmed his belief in the importance of the mental side of sports, so he decided to combine his coaching skills with his psychology knowledge to become a sport psychology consultant.

Since 2004, when he earned his master’s degree from John F. Kennedy University (CA), Brian has continued to work with individual athletes, teams, coaches, and groups from all sports. He is committed to helping athletes define success and achieve that success through mental skills and training.
