Individual Sessions
Individualized one-on-one services for athletes and performers. Whether you’re trying to overcome a specific challenge or looking for ways to enhance your overall performance and well-being, we meet you where you are with an individualized, science-backed approach.
Our Approach
We believe psychological flexibility lies at the foundation of reaching optimal performance. Psychological flexibility allows you to approach all situations (in and out of performance) with awareness, intention, and commitment to your goals and values.
We challenge the idea that optimal performance can only occur in the absence of nerves, fear, anger, or disappointment. We help you stop spending your time and resources trying to get rid of these things or pretend they aren’t there. Instead, we take time to understand you and the ways you’ve learned to think and react. Then, we work together to practice new ways of responding to challenges and teach you how to appraise, approach, and use self-regulation skills so that you can direct your energy and effort where it matters.

How Does It Work?
Getting Started
Reach out to schedule a free, 20-minute initial consultation. During this consult, we’ll answer any questions you might have, as well as make sure we’re a good fit for your needs. We also make sure you have a clear idea of what working together will look like and give you the chance to ask us any questions about ourselves and our work.
Your First Session
If you and your consultant decide it’s a good fit, you’ll get access to a client portal to complete paperwork, initial assessments giving us extra data on your current mental performance, and manage payment. The first session you have will be an intake. Intakes typically last one full hour. During your intake, we spend time getting to know you and what exactly it is you’re hoping to get out of our work together (and if you aren’t sure what that is, we’ll figure it out together). We’ll talk about your strengths, challenges, and needs to make sure we have all the information necessary to formulate a plan for your future sessions.
After Your First Session
Individual sessions typically occur weekly or bi-weekly and are 50 minutes long. Although this is the model that we operate in the most, we are flexible and allow customizability for you to select the format that works best for you. During individual sessions we will explore your performance experiences, identify what is working and what isn’t, and learn and practice new mental skills, mindsets, and strategies. We’ll also be checking in with you frequently to get your feedback about how you feel sessions are going as well assess progress as we go.
