individual sport psych sessions

These sessions are focused on improving athletic performance. We spend the first session evaluating your needs through discussion and completion of assessment measures, as applicable. This data is used to develop an individualized performance improvement plan that can be short- or long-term in nature.

I work with athletes ages 18+ across various competitive levels, and I specialize in working with collegiate student-athletes. I meet with athletes in person (my office) or virtually (if located in ND or MN).

typical results

  • Improved self-awareness

  • More consistently being the person and athlete you want to be

  • Learn skills to effectively respond to your thoughts and emotions

  • Grow from and bounce back from difficult performances or failure

  • Use sport psychology tools to improve performance in sport and life

TEAM SPORT PSYCH SESSIONS

These sessions are tailored to the needs of each group or team. This can include, but is not limited to team mental skills training, captains' meeting, and new player/freshman meetings. I work with coaches to understand the needs of the team and incorporate the coaching staff as appropriate.

I also offer combination group and individual consultation where I work with the team as a whole and individual athletes to improve performance.

athlete mental health 

Athletes are human and not immune to mental health difficulties that include stress, anxiety, eating disorders, ADHD, or depression. Because many mental health difficulties begin by age 24, it is important to be proactive in addressing the mental health and well-being needs of collegiate student-athletes.

Mental health services consist of individual therapy to provide you with tools to manage mental health issues and diagnostic evaluations to aid in diagnostic clarification and treatment planning. Because mental health difficulties can impact performance, we may also discuss the intersection of mental health and sport performance.

I provide mental health treatment exclusively to collegiate student-athletes. Appropriateness for virtual sessions (for those located in ND or MN) will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

typical results

  • Effectively balance multiple roles (e.g., student, athlete, friend, partner)

  • Learn cognitive-behavioral tools to decrease stress and mental health difficulties

  • Identify cognitive errors and learn how to think effectively

  • Learn skills to manage difficulties resulting from mental health symptoms

  • Name the mental health difficulties you are experiencing and learn about effective treatment options

 

For more information regarding my clinical practice in non-athlete populations, please contact Assessment and Therapy Associates of Grand Forks, PLLC. Please note that I am only taking new non-athlete patients for psychological evaluations; I am not taking any new non-athlete patients for individual sessions.
