Sports & Performance Psychology
Sports & Performance Counseling in NY, NJ, & PA
At Grand Slam Psych, we strive to help college, semi-pro, & professional athletes take their mental wellness to new heights. We take a holistic therapeutic approach that aims to: 1) help identify and work through roadblocks preventing you from performing your best, 2) get to know you as a fully complex individual, outside of your role as an athlete, & 3) attend to these other parts of you that may be struggling outside of your sport.
Common issues we address together may include (but is not limited to):
• Performance Anxiety & Excessive worry
• Stress & Time Management
• Coach or Team Conflict
• Depression & lack of motivation
• Transitional issues (i.e. going from college to pro’s)
• Eating & Body Image concerns
• Mental Fatigue or Burnout
• Sleep difficulties
• Relationship issues
• Substance Use
• Career termination (i.e. retiring) & Loss of Identity as an Athlete
• Coping with injury or slumps
