Trevor Barlow - Founder, HTFT Mental Health and Performance

Trevor Barlow is the founder of HTFT Mental Health and Performance, a fully integrated program built on the principle that mental health is the foundation for sustainable performance and lasting personal growth. HTFT combines Family Therapy, Applied Sport and Performance Psychology, Performance Training, Nutrition Coaching / Consulting, and Physical Therapy & (M.A.T) all to help individuals cultivate clarity, resilience, and purpose in every area of life.

Trevor’s vision for HTFT was shaped by his experience in elite level sports. While competing in professional football and rugby, he trained with top-tier organizations and worked alongside leading experts in sport psychology, physical therapy, and performance coaching. What impacted him most, however, were the family therapists and sports psychologist embedded within those performance environments. They helped athletes and teams navigate the emotional and relational dynamics that often determined whether they could thrive under pressure.

Through these experiences, Trevor recognized that high-functioning teams and families share striking similarities. Both operate as emotional systems shaped by communication, roles, behavioral patterns, and structural dynamics. Therapeutic models such as Structural Therapy, Bowen Family Systems Theory, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy weren’t just clinical frameworks, they were lived experiences on the field, in locker rooms, and within leadership structures. This realization transformed Trevor’s understanding of performance as something rooted not only in physical training but in relationships, mindset, and emotional systems.

Today, Trevor integrates this systems based insight with a deep commitment to mental health. He works with college and professional athletes, executives, law enforcement professionals, veterans, families, and organizations, helping them strengthen their internal frameworks so they can thrive both personally and professionally. Inspired by the work of thought leaders like Dr. Isaac Farin, Trevor places family systems and emotional resilience at the heart of his performance model.

The Four Core Pillars of HTFT Mental Health and Performance

  1. Mental Health – Building clarity, resilience, and internal structure through systemic family therapy and psychological skill development.

  2. Performance – Combining performance psychology, mindset coaching, and athletic training to drive consistency, focus, and intentional growth.

  3. Recovery – Integrating physical therapy, massage therapy, M.A.T. (Muscle Activation Techniques), and mindfulness strategies to restore balance and adaptability.

  4. Nutrition – Designing tailored nutrition programs and coaching that support mental clarity, emotional regulation, physical performance, and recovery.

Through HTFT, Trevor helps individuals develop the inner systems necessary to lead, perform, and live with intention. His mission is to redefine performance through the lens of mental health, where growth is measured not only by external results but by the strength, balance, and purpose built from within.
