Like all people, athletes struggle with feelings of self-doubt and fear of failure. Negative cognitions such as “I can’t get out of my head” or “I have lost confidence in myself and my abilities” are common manifestations of this performance anxiety.
Mental health is a crucial, yet frequently overlooked, component of any athlete’s journey. Athletes who incorporate a focus on mental wellness into their daily routines gain confidence and thus a competitive edge. Whether you are a weekend warrior looking to gain a leg up on the competition, a student athlete contemplating college scholarships, or an elite athlete seeking peak performance, working with a sport psychologist can help you reach your full potential.
No matter what you are looking to achieve athletically, a sports psychologist in Denver, CO can support you along the way. Take your athletic performance to the next level and schedule a consultation today.

The process of healing from an athletic injury involves both the body and the mind. Countless studies have demonstrated that stress, anxiety, and fear of reinjury prolong one’s recovery, while factors such as high self-esteem and resilience can improve outcomes.
It’s unsurprising, then, that extensive research has also shown the benefits of adding a sports psychologist to your recovery team. We can collaborate with trainers, coaches, and doctors to facilitate a more rapid and holistic healing process. Contact us today to get started.
During our meetings, we will focus primarily on mental training, such as positive imagery, relaxation techniques, and self-talk, in order to promote mental toughness and boost performance. We will also address any emotional issues that may be negatively impacting your performance.
We also understand that an athlete’s support network is multi-faceted; therefore, we conduct consultations with physicians, physical therapists, coaches, and trainers to facilitate the best possible results both on and off the field. We can make referrals to other professionals when appropriate.
Athletes at all levels experience pressure, whether from their parents, their coaches, or themselves. Unfortunately, this mental stress can often negatively impact physical performance.
That’s why we offer individualized programs for athletes of all ages and skill levels. These range from a few sessions to develop a toolbox of techniques to ongoing performance enhancement sessions.
We have found that sports psychology is particularly effective for teenage athletes, who can often experience a stressful overlap between their athletic and academic endeavors. Working with a sport psychologist can provide you with the set of skills you need to manage diverse expectations and thrive.
Following an initial face-to-face session, subsequent appointments may be held virtually for traveling athletes. We can discuss this option further during your consultation.
Sessions typically last for 90 minutes.
