ATHLETES & FORMER ATHLETES

You are more than your performance.

Sport can shape your identity, relationships, mental health, and the way you respond to pressure long after the game is over. Therapy offers space to work through the parts of life that performance alone can’t address.

This is mental health therapy for athletes and former athletes, not sport psychology or performance coaching.

BEYOND PERFORMANCE



When performance becomes part of who you are, struggles in sport can change how you see yourself.

Athlete Identity · Performance-Based Worth · Team Belonging · Identity Beyond Sport

When you’re used to pushing for more, it can be hard to ever feel like enough.

Performance Pressure · Fear of Failure · Perfectionism · Athletic Burnout

When sport changes or ends, you may be left wondering what comes next.

Injury & Recovery · Retirement from Sport · Leaving Competition · Life After Sport

The experience of being an athlete has layers.

There’s often more than one layer to what you’re experiencing, and understanding how those pieces connect can help make sense of what’s going on.

What happened in sport can stay with you long after the moment has passed.

Injuries · Medical Trauma · Career-Altering Events · Difficult Experiences

Processing Difficult Experiences

Use trauma-informed approaches when appropriate to process injuries, medical experiences, losses, or other experiences that still affect you.

There’s more to you than what you’ve had to prove.

Make space for what you’ve been carrying and what you want for yourself now.
