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
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 as an athlete can stay with you long after the moment has passed.
Injuries · Medical Trauma · Career-Altering Events · Difficult Experiences
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 your sense of worth becomes tied to performance, approval, or your role as an athlete, it can be difficult to know who you are beyond sport.
Athlete Identity · Conditional Acceptance · Loss of Identity · External Validation
When your role as an athlete changes or ends, finding your footing outside of sport can feel uncertain.
Injury & Recovery · Sports Retirement · Leaving Competition · Life After Sport
HOW THERAPY HELPS
Work through what’s affecting you while building tools that support both your athletic journey and your life outside it.
Regulate Stress & Pressure
Use nervous-system-informed, grounding, and DBT-informed strategies to manage stress, intense emotions, and the pressure to keep pushing.
Process Difficult Experiences
Use trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR or ART when appropriate, to process injuries, medical experiences, losses, or other difficult experiences.
Identity & Life Beyond Sport
Explore identity, self-worth, and major transitions while building a stronger sense of self beyond performance.
You’ve spent enough time pushing through.
Find support that fits.
