Therapy For Athletes

Strong Mind. Strong Game.

Peak performance isn’t just physical—it’s mental. Whether you're a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, or elite performer, therapy can help you strengthen your mindset, manage pressure, and bounce back from setbacks. We work with athletes of all levels to optimize performance, build mental resilience, and support overall well-being on and off the field.


Why Athletes Seek Therapy

Athletes face unique mental and emotional challenges that others may not see. Therapy provides a confidential space to address:

  • Performance anxiety or fear of failure

  • Confidence and self-doubt

  • Processing emotions surrounding injury or reduction in participation

  • Burnout and motivation issues

  • Life transitions (retirement, role changes, etc.)

  • Team dynamics and leadership stress

  • Balancing sport with life, school, or career


Who Seeks Therapy?

  • Club, high school and collegiate athletes

  • Professional and semi-pro athletes

  • Dancers, gymnasts, and performing artists

  • Coaches and sports teams

  • Retired athletes navigating life beyond the game



How Does Therapy  Help Athletes?

By combining sports psychology knowledge with evidence-based practices, therapy can help you perform at your best—mentally and emotionally. Therapy work focuses on:

  • Therapeutic Processing: Processing through circumstances that are interfering in emotional health, sport, and relationships.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Strategies: Reshape thought patterns that impact performance

  • Goal Setting & Motivation: Build structure and momentum

  • Injury & Setback Recovery: Stay mentally strong during recovery

  • Identity & Self-Worth: Thrive beyond your sport

  • Trauma Processing (including trauma from injury): Utilize trauma informed techniques such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to process through traumatic events. 

Whether you're in season or off, recovering or competing, therapy is a powerful tool for growth and performance.
