Are you a first responder? The demands of first responders are like no other, both physically and mentally. Your job is to run towards high-stress situations and support where you can. I was raised in a first responder home and am continually learning more about the mental health of those who serve. I am so thankful for first responders; counseling is one way that I would like to give back. I have also done extensive work in individual and couples therapy and have years of experience in the sports and performance world.

Struggling with a chronic illness? Feeling overwhelmed by a cancer diagnosis or a cardiac event? Experiencing anxiety from life changes? Fear, sadness, uncertainty and a mix of other challenging emotions are natural but they can make getting through the day or even the next moment seem impossible. Priorities may shift. Life as you knew it no longer exists. You may feel alone. For some, the relationship with your body may change and that can decrease body confidence. While you may sometimes feel powerless, regardless of your life situation, you can chose to get support to cope.

How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.
How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.
How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.
What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
