Common Areas We Work With

Performance Support

• Overthinking before or during games or competitions.

• Struggling with confidence or focus

• Perfectionism and pressure to succeed

• Staying motivated through tough seasons

We’ll work on building mental skills—like visualization, self-talk, and emotional regulation- to help you feel more present, prepared, and connected to your goals.

​

Injury and Setbacks

• Feeling lost, frustrated, or anxious while sidelined

• Worries about re-injury or not being the same again

• Grieving the temporary or permanent loss of sport

Injury isn’t just physical, it impacts identity, confidence, and mental health. Together, we can process the emotional side of recovery and support your return to movement when the time is right.

 

Finding Balance

• Juggling sport, school, work, and relationships

• Feeling burnt out, numb, or unsure why you’re still doing this

• Transitioning out of competitive sport or changing roles

This part of therapy often involves reconnecting to purpose, setting boundaries, and redefining your identity beyond performance.

 

Team and Coach Dynamics

• Communication breakdowns with teammates or coaches

• Navigating toxic environments or conflict

• Exploring leadership roles in team settings

We can support you in developing stronger communication skills, setting healthy boundaries, and stepping into leadership with clarity and care.

 

Mental Health and the Athlete Experience

• Depression, anxiety, panic, or disordered eating

• Struggles with self-worth tied to performance

• Feeling isolated or misunderstood in sports settings

We approach this work through a trauma-informed lens and often integrate CBT, mindfulness, and emotion-focused therapy to support healing, resilience, and mental wellness.
