Our staff are all expertly trained, and licensed, mental health clinicians and they have a passion for working with student-athletes. The licensure of our clinicians is important in that it provides a framework under which they work. Providing a confidential space where student-athletes can talk about anything on their minds is incredibly important. Confidentiality is taken very seriously within our offices, especially given the public nature of student-athletes’ lives.
Given the experience our staff has, they are aware of the pressures that student-athletes may experience as a result of their athletic identity, their identity as a college student, and their unique needs as an individual. Our clinical services are available to help student-athletes cope with challenges that may impact well-being.
Some common challenges include:
- Anxiety

If you have a sense that something could work better in some area of your life, reach out to us!
