Marla Zucker
Ph.D., CMPC, LP-HSP
As a dually-trained Sport/Performance Psychologist and Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Zucker’s expertise is in working at the intersection of the two specialties. Dr. Zucker combines her grounding in performance psychology research and principles with her deep background in psychological trauma and understanding of psychological health. She brings more than 25 years of experience to helping individuals explore and release mental blocks that may be getting in the way of both optimal performance and life satisfaction and enjoyment.
Dr. Zucker has worked with elite performers in all realms, including Big Four consulting firm partners, Olympic, professional and DI college athletes, and musicians from world-renowned symphony orchestras. She has served on the faculty at Boston University, teaching and supervising Master’s and Doctoral students in the Sport & Performance Psychology specialization. Dr. Zucker also provides training and consultation to other professionals and organizations across the country.
The White Mountains of New Hampshire serve as Dr. Zucker’s home and playground, where she loves playing pickleball, cycling, and doing CrossFit, but is equally happy curling up with a good book and her three Jack Russell terriers.
