Deena Cooper

Educational & Developmental Psychologist | Sport Psychology for Equestrian Athletes | Animal Assisted Therapist

Hello, I’m Deena Cooper—an endorsed Educational and Developmental Psychologist, Board Approved Supervisor, and devoted equestrian. My work blends evidence-based psychology with my passion for animals, supporting clients of all ages to achieve well-being and peak performance.

With years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I bring professional insight and personal understanding to my clients. As a rider, I’ve competed in many different equestrian disciplines including dressage, show jumping, western performance, and cutting horses. My own journey overcoming performance anxiety has shaped my approach—enabling me to help others build confidence, resilience, and clarity both in and out of the arena.

Sport Psychology Sessions for Equestrian Athletes

Equestrian athletes juggle complex physical skills, emotional regulation, and a deep connection with their horses. Performance anxiety, fear of failure, loss of confidence, and mental blocks can all interfere with your ability to ride at your best. Sport psychology helps you develop the mental tools to overcome these challenges and unlock your full potential. I offer individual sessions and group Sport Psychology sessions via telehealth. I also offer Workshops and Clinics specifically designed for for groups and clubs.
