Hey there, I'm Ryan! Life is full of ups and downs, situations that can really tug at our emotions and shape the way we think and act. Sometimes, these situations throw us off balance and lead to symptoms that disrupt our daily routines. But here's the good news: through a blend of supportive counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we can work together to steer these changes in a positive direction. CBT is a powerful tool that helps us reframe our thoughts and behaviors for a healthier mindset and lifestyle.

Do you ever feel: Confident on the outside, but your insides are filled with self-doubt . Wonder if these self-doubts are holding you back professionally and personally. Tired of being on edge, constantly anticipating the worst. Posses a strong inner critic inside your head beating you up. No matter how accomplished, it doesn't feel like it will ever be enough. Is the inside of your mind a hamster wheel of ruminating thoughts. Are your stuck in the same old patterns. that keep knocking on your door asking you to notice..it's time to make a different choice.

Our ideal clients are athletes that live with Anxiety, Depression, or any common Mental Health challenge. Being an elite athlete can be rewarding but come with a lot of stress & pressure. Many Athletes neglect their mental health needs because they do not want to be seen as "weak" or simply do not know how to address issues. Therefore, we strive to support and assist these individuals that may be struggling in silence. Our main focus is to assist athletes that need support outside of their sport in their personal lives.

Sports Performance Therapists
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.
