“…it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.”

Bryce Bevill, one of the Jets’ player development staff members, noticed Cashman’s attitude and urged him to visit the team’s therapist, Dr. Derek Suite. “The first session was very positive,” Cashman said. “I started expressing how I was feeling, and I told [Suite] I didn’t like being upset every day and the hardest part was knowing it’s out of my control, but I was still allowing that to affect me. He just was very encouraging. And when we got done with that first meeting, it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.”

“Doctor Suite mental health, mental therapy, all the visualizations. (Thanks to that), I was able to come back and play.”

I remember walking into the Knicks and not being able to stand up straight. I thought my career was over before I even got to the Knicks. I was just hoping that I could walk, literally, when I got there. I think New York helped me with my imagination and helped me with my mind. The doctors that believed in me; they just surrounded me with like everything that I needed: medical care, mental care, physical therapy. It was really the medical team, the training staff, I learned the value of both of them. Doctor Suite mental health, mental therapy, all the visualizations. (Thanks to that), I was able to come back and play.

“He is the ultimate secret weapon…”

“Dr. Suite aka “SUITES” is the rare combination of a great person and a great doctor. What I appreciate most about his work is the spiritual perspective he can offer to athletes who see the need for the pursuit of total well being, and the importance of faith in their performance.

Suites’ has a unique way of bringing together the medical, psychological and spiritual dimensions of any situation to help unlock untapped potential, or discover creative and innovative solutions to any problem or challenge an athlete may face. He is the ultimate secret weapon when it comes to achieving peak performance and has the trust and respect of many coaches and athletes.”

“Suites is one-stop shopping for mental performance.”

“I would entrust any player to Suites because he is an extremely competent, detailed, reliable, and knowledgeable doctor who genuinely cares about the athlete as a person. Suites’ has a lot of experience handling athletes and has a disarming quality that gets through to the toughest veterans. I like the quality of his expert observations and professional insights on difficult players. I also like that he is able to offer on the spot recommendations on how to navigate complex scenarios.

Most of all, I like that Suites is one-stop shopping for mental performance. If an athlete needs sleep medications, has ADD, needs individual counseling, needs marriage counseling, or any other intervention, Suites, as a medical doctor and a sports psychiatrist, can help that athlete on all fronts. And he is always easygoing, professional, diplomatic, and confidential. Suites never wants the credit, and likes to work in the background–and knows how to stay in his lane–which makes him even more valuable in my opinion. ”
