How We Help

Adolescence brings increased pressure, expectations, and identity development. We help teen athletes strengthen their mindset while supporting emotional and mental health both in and outside of sport.

Common areas of support include:

• Overthinking or getting stuck “in their head”

• Playing scared or freezing due to anxiety

• Performance anxiety in sport, school, or social settings

• Practicing well but underperforming in competition

• Difficulty bouncing back from mistakes

• Effects of negative experiences with coaches or teammates

• Low confidence despite high ability

• Mental blocks, yips, or skill-specific anxiety

• ADHD and managing symptoms in school and sport

Signs & Symptoms to Watch For

• Appetite or sleep changes

• Mood or behavior shifts

• Physical complaints with no clear injury

• Withdrawal from sport or activities they once enjoyed

• Chest tightness, racing heart, or stomach issues

• Increased negative self-talk or self-criticism

• Uncharacteristic drops in performance

• Talking about quitting or leaving their sport

Parent and caregiver sessions provide a supportive space to gain insight, tools, and guidance when supporting a child or teen athlete.

These sessions are designed to:

• Help parents understand their child’s emotional, behavioral, or developmental needs

• Improve communication and strengthen family relationships

• Learn practical strategies for managing challenges at home, school, and in sport

• Collaborate with the therapist to reinforce goals from individual therapy

Sessions are tailored to your family’s unique situation and focus on practical tools you can apply outside of therapy. Whether navigating anxiety, behavioral concerns, or performance pressures, parent sessions offer guidance and partnership to help your child thrive.

Our individual therapy sessions provide a safe, confidential space to explore thoughts, emotions, and life challenges.

We support individuals experiencing:

• Stress, anxiety, or depression

• Relationship or life transitions

• Emotional regulation difficulties

• Performance-related pressures (work, school, or personal goals)

What you can expect:

• A supportive, nonjudgmental environment

• Personalized, collaborative treatment

• Practical tools to manage emotions and stress

• Goal-setting and progress tracking

Individual therapy helps build resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful personal growth—on and off the field.
