Background

STARR Coach

Eric Kussin is a 20-year professional sports executive, turned health coach, who got his start at the NBA League Office. After five years with the League, he went the team business route, and rose the ranks with the expansion Chicago Sky, and then the Phoenix Suns.

He later switched over to the NHL, working with the New Jersey Devils, and the Florida Panthers. So, he is no stranger to intense corporate office environments, high-pressure situations, and lofty expectation. During his ascent, a debilitating mental health crisis stopped Eric’s burgeoning career and life in its tracks for over two and a half years.

After many failed treatment modalities, being tried on over 50 different psychotropic combinations, TMS therapy and ECT in-patient during that time span, he began to learn, study, and implement mind-body-skills that enabled him to heal.

EXPERIENCE

His passion for these mind-body-skills grew when he learned that stress and trauma from – a childhood of challenging life events involving many debilitating ailments his older brother had to fight, and the loss of three of his close friends in their 20s – had built up inside of him and started to impact his own brain-body-connection in a major way. These skills he learned, helped him go on a transformational healing journey. From breath work training via the Art-of-Living, to learning trauma releasing exercises (TRE) from David Bercelli, to traveling to Indonesia to study Qigong meditation, amongst many others (EFT, Havening, Meditation, Yoga), Eric has since made it his mission to raise awareness towards the many healing benefits behind these various mind-body exercises. From Corporate settings such as CNBC to JP Morgan Chase, Professional Sports Teams from the Golden State Warriors to the New York Mets, and Military & First Responder groups from the NYPD, to the DOD, Eric is frequently invited to give keynote addresses about his journey, and educate on STARR Exercises (Stress & Trauma, Active, Release & Rewiring), AKA “Gym for the Brain.” Although he’s invited to present on these big stages, he has a passion for getting in the trenches, day-to-day, to blog about mind-body on Instagram at @samehere_global, and to work with clients to share all he has learned and to help them take control of their lives and go on their own healing journeys.

What Our Patients Say

Dawn Lee is an amazing therapist. I made more progress with her in a couple months than in years of previous therapy. The whole practice is run very efficiently and I recommend any one of the therapists. They are great with follow up, and the front staff is very prompt with responses and wonderful at customer service. I am a psych NP myself, and good psych care can be hard to find. Very pleased here.

Where to start! Dr. Pleener and his team are the best around. I came to Dr. Pleener 3 years ago suffering from severe panic attacks that made it near impossible to live a functional life. Since day 1, he has shown genuine care in not only alleviating my suffering but giving me the wellness tools to live a much healthier and fulfilling life. It’s hard to find quality care in medicine. When doctors see so many patients, it’s easy to feel like a cog in their machine. Dr. Pleener gives you his full undivided attention for the time you are together and works with your preferences to come up with the best possible solution for you. He takes pride in his work and sincerely cares about helping you. I’m very lucky I found him when I did. His team is also great and responsive. Always have had a good experience with his staff. You will be in good care here.

My psychiatric evaluation with Regional Psychiatry was a really positive experience from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, well-organized, and easy to follow, which helped ease any initial nerves I had going in. The provider was extremely friendly, patient, and made me feel comfortable opening up without any pressure or judgment. I felt genuinely heard and understood throughout the appointment. Overall, it was a very professional and supportive experience, and I would definitely recommend Regional Psychiatry to anyone looking for a thorough and welcoming evaluation.

Forever grateful with the Dr. Lina Perez and Adelle Flores-Yoshitomi who were a great support and gave me great advise during difficult times in my life. They are very professional, understanding, emphatic, wise, and knowledgeable. The office staff is very efficient, and all the visits were on time.

Professional mental health people. Dr Christine Davis has treated me for over five years now. We have my life on a good track. She is caring, professional, and has become a good friend of mine while maintaining the doctor patient relationship. I’ve told her everything about me. And she’s been nonjudgmental and has had my mental health as her first primary reason every single time. I would probably not be here by now if she wasn’t helping me.
