Therapy for Athletes

The Mental Side of Sport & Fitness

Athletes know that performance isn’t just physical—mental strength, focus, and resilience play a huge role in success. Whether you're dealing with performance anxiety, recovering from an injury, or balancing training with everyday life, therapy provides a space to work through these challenges.

At Sage & Summit Counseling, therapy is designed for competitive athletes, active individuals, and those committed to their fitness and performance goals. Whether you're an elite competitor, a former athlete adjusting to life beyond sport, or someone who prioritizes physical activity as part of your well-being, therapy helps strengthen the mental side of training and recovery.

Common Focus Areas in Therapy for Athletes

  • Performance Anxiety & Mental Blocks – Managing stress before and during competition

  • Injury Recovery & Mental Resilience – Coping with setbacks and regaining confidence

  • Balancing Sport & Personal Life – Managing pressure, burnout, and self-worth beyond performance

  • Navigating Identity & Transitions – Adjusting to new training goals, retirement, or lifestyle changes
