We’re excited to introduce our weekly therapeutic Dungeons & Dragons group—a 2-hour, guided experience where fantasy meets real-life skill building.

Through collaborative storytelling and gameplay, participants will practice:

Social communication

Teamwork & collaboration

Emotional regulation and flexibility

Problem-solving in a supportive, low-pressure environment

Led by Vincent Quinnan, LMSW, this group uses the world of D&D as a powerful tool to help players build confidence, connect with others, and try new ways of responding to challenges—both in-game and beyond.

No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity, creativity, and willingness to roll the dice.

Hello Parents and Coaches!

My name is Powell Cucchiella. I am a mental health professional working and living in Ballston Spa, NY, with a background as a division 1 athlete. 

Beginning February 2nd, we are launching a weekly, in person Mental Performance Group in Ballston Spa designed specifically for athletes who want to strengthen the mental side of their game.

The group/workshop is a local and affordable mental performance resource for middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes who want to become more confident, consistent, and mentally resilient in their sport. 

Most athletes spend several hours each week working on their physical and technical skills, but often neglect the mental skill that so often becomes critical on competition day. Positively Elite exists to train the mental side of sport and performance so that athletes can show up confidently and perform with consistency! 

About the group
This group supports athletes in areas such as:

• Confidence & self-belief

• Focus and attention under pressure

• Anxiety and performance nerves

• Injury recovery mindset

• Mental skills training (self-talk, imagery, mindfulness, breathwork)

• Goal setting and training discipline

Details

• When: Mondays at 4:00 PM (starting 2/2)

• Where: The Performance Sanctuary – Ballston Spa, NY

• Cost: $45 per session

The group is facilitated by Powell Cucchiella, LMHC, owner of Positively Elite (www.positivelyelite.com), along with Liv Raucci, Mental Health Counseling Intern and future CMPC. We specialize in helping athletes understand, manage and train the mind so they can perform more consistently and confidently.

Bonus recovery benefit
Athletes also have access to The Performance Sanctuary’s recovery amenities before and after sessions (staff permitting), including cold plunge, compression boots, red light therapy, sauna domes, massage chairs, and more. Check out The Performance Sanctuary here: www.performancesanctuary.com .
