Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all. Athletes at every level can sharpen focus, build confidence, and perform under pressure — it’s how you become elite.

There are a few key points to highlight here:

Focus of Work

• Therapy: Helps individuals manage or heal from mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.).

• Mental Skills Training: Focuses on optimizing performance — things like focus, confidence, motivation, and composure under pressure.

Scope

• Therapy: Works on well-being and mental health in daily life.

• Mental Skills Training: Works on mindset and mental performance in sport, school, or work.

Credentials

• Therapy: Licensed mental health professionals (psychologists, counselors, social workers).

• Mental Skills Training: Certified Mental Performance Consultants (CMPC) or specialists in sport/performance psychology — not treating illness, but coaching skills.

Bottom line (in analogy form) is this -

• Therapy is like going to a doctor to heal an injury.

• Mental skills training is like working with a strength coach to get stronger and perform better.

Every athlete is different, but many notice sharper focus, stronger confidence, and better consistency within a few sessions. Long-term gains come with practice and application in training and competition.

Sessions are completely tailored to you - based on your specific needs and goals we will discuss different mental skills that aid in upping your game, talk about how we can implement these skills into actionable items, and eventually debrief the use of these skills in games/competition. Everything is practical and ready to use in your sport.

Nope. Mental skills training is evidence-based and hands-on — it’s about strategies, routines, and tools that produce measurable performance gains. We don’t sugarcoat — we push you to face challenges head-on and build real mental toughness.

It’s simple: connect with us, schedule an intro call or assessment, and we’ll create a tailored plan to help you or your team perform at your peak.
