Private clinical therapy for professional and collegiate athletes, coaches, and sports professionals. Specializing in relationship counselling, career transitions, and ADHD. No insurance. No record. Available wherever your season takes you.
You’ve spent your career in environments where directness is normal. Where feedback is specific. Where wasted time has a real cost. Where the expectation is that you show up, do the work, and move.
Most clinical therapy doesn’t feel like that. It feels slow, passive, and disconnected from the way high performers actually think and operate. That mismatch isn’t a flaw in you — it’s a design problem.
This practice is designed differently.
NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, and Pro Volleyball – Ohio’s teams and beyond. Relationship strain from travel and public pressure. Managing ADHD during a career. Telehealth from wherever your season takes you, even when you and your partner are in separate locations.
OSU, UC, Cleveland State, and programs across Ohio. Relationship issues. Performance anxiety with a clinical component. ADHD in high-demand academic and athletic environments. Private, discreet, telehealth from campus or home.
Two athletes, or one athlete and one partner navigating a professional sports relationship. Travel, identity, financial dynamics, public pressure — Imago + Gottman applied to what athletic relationships actually face. Intensives available.
Retirement. Injury. Trade. The end of the thing that defined everything. The identity loss is real, the adjustment is significant, and most therapists underestimate both. This is a specific clinical specialty here.
Coaching carries the same high-performance pressure as playing — without most of the support. Front office professionals, trainers, and sports staff navigating leadership stress, burnout, and relationship strain under the radar.
Diagnosed, suspected, or late-diagnosed. ADHD in athletes has specific clinical features that general ADHD therapy misses. Solution-Focused, strengths-based, built around how the ADHD-athletic brain actually functions.
ADHD is dramatically overrepresented in elite athletes. The same neurological traits that generate extraordinary performance — hyperfocus, risk tolerance, rapid pattern recognition, high stimulation threshold — are the core features of ADHD. Sport provides a natural container for them.
When sport is absent — off-season, injury, retirement — the container disappears. What was an asset in competition becomes dysregulation in the living room. The relationship absorbs it. The identity starts to fracture.
I specialize in ADHD therapy for athletes using a Solution-Focused approach that builds on your existing strengths rather than treating them as liabilities to be managed.
Schedule a free consult →ADHD is not a disqualification. For many athletes it is the neurological foundation of their exceptional performance. The work is learning to carry it across the whole of your life — not just the parts sport structures for you.
Individual ADHD therapy for athletes — active, transitioning, or retired. Solution-Focused, strengths-based, built around how the athletic-ADHD brain functions rather than against it.
Imago Therapy & Gottman Method for athletic couples. The specific stressors of a professional sports relationship require a therapist who has a clinical framework for them. This practice does.
The psychological component of physical rehabilitation — identity disruption, depression, anxiety, motivation, and the relationship strain that accompanies long-term injury. Available via telehealth during recovery.
The identity, structure, and purpose that sport provided don’t transfer automatically to what comes next. This is significant work, and it is significantly underaddressed. Specialized focus here.
3–4 hours of concentrated couples work via telehealth. For athlete couples who can’t commit to weekly sessions but can clear a Saturday. Concentrated, immersive, and outcomes-focused.
A full day of immersive athlete couples work via telehealth. Equivalent in depth to several months of weekly sessions. Available in the off-season or around demanding schedules.
A note on scope: I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), not a sport psychologist or mental performance coach. My work with athletes focuses on clinical issues — ADHD, relationship distress, depression, anxiety, identity, and career transitions — not performance enhancement or mental skills training. These are complementary, not competing. If performance psychology is what you need, I am happy to help connect you with the right provider.
You already know what direct coaching feedback feels like. You know the difference between a coach who tells you the truth and one who protects your feelings at the expense of your performance. Therapy with me works the same way — I will name what I see, push on what seems important, and tell you honestly when something is or isn’t working. And I invite you to do exactly the same with me.
I’m in the room. I’ll name the pattern when I see it and ask the uncomfortable question when it matters. If something I say misses the mark — tell me directly. I won’t be defensive.
Sessions have direction. We’re not going to spend the first twenty minutes deciding what to talk about. Your time has real value and I treat it exactly that way.
We set specific goals at the start and return to them. You should be able to articulate what has changed — not just feel vaguely better. That’s not a higher bar. It’s the only bar worth setting.
Hotel rooms. Training facilities. Home during the off-season. Wherever you are in Ohio — or any state where I hold licensure via the Counseling Compact. Away games don’t have to mean missed sessions.
Private pay means no diagnosis required for billing, no third-party access to your sessions, and no insurance trail. For athletes with public profiles, media coverage, or team relationships — this is not a billing preference. It is a genuine access decision.
Your therapy is protected by HIPAA and professional ethical standards. No coach, GM, agent, team staff, or organization has access to what happens in your sessions. Payment comes directly from you — not through any organizational channel.
All sessions via fully encrypted, HIPAA-compliant video. Not recorded. Available anywhere in Ohio and additional Counseling Compact states. Road trips, away games, and training camp don’t mean missed sessions.
A free consultation. No forms, no insurance information. A direct conversation to see if this is the right fit — and if it’s not, I’ll tell you that too.
