Mental Performance Coaching

High performance requires more than talent. It takes mental systems that hold up under pressure.

Mental performance coaching helps athletes, performers, and high-stakes professionals train the mind with the same precision they use to train the body. It draws on applied sport psychology, neuroscience, and counseling to enhance focus, confidence, resilience, and recovery, especially when conditions are far from ideal.

Whether you're preparing for competition, recovering from injury, or navigating burnout, this work helps you build internal systems that support both performance and well-being. It’s not about hype or mindset hacks—it’s about long-term mental durability that holds when it counts.

What We Offer: Mental Skills Consulting with an Integrative Approach

Our work blends sport psychology, neuroscience, counseling, and exercise science to help you build the internal systems needed to thrive. This isn’t about tips or tricks—it’s about training the mind the way elite performers train the body: with precision, adaptability, and discipline.

Why CMPC Certification Matters

Not all mental performance coaches are created equal.

The Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) credential is granted by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP)—the gold standard in the field. Earning this certification requires graduate-level education, supervised experience, and a commitment to ethical, evidence-based practice.

This matters because mental performance work isn’t just about motivation—it’s about psychology. It involves emotion regulation, identity, recovery, and performance under pressure. A CMPC is trained to work with these complexities and to know when to refer out for clinical or medical support if needed.

When you work with a CMPC, you're not getting a script or hype. You're partnering with a credentialed professional who’s trained to help you build durable, adaptable mental systems that hold up in real-world conditions.

Mental Skills Consulting vs. Therapy: What’s the Difference?

Understanding the distinction helps ensure you get the proper support.

Mental Skills Consulting
CMPC-certified, performance-focused, and non-clinical. We focus on tools for confidence, recovery, and resilience. This is not psychotherapy and does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions.

Licensed Mental Health Counseling
Clinically focused and designed to support emotional well-being, anxiety, trauma, and deeper psychological patterns. Governed by licensure laws and supervision.

How I Help You Choose the Right Path

I’m trained in both performance and clinical counseling. That means we can assess your goals together and take the right path, whether it’s building high-performance systems or addressing deeper emotional needs.

Either way, the goal is the same:
To help you show up with clarity, strength, and purpose, no matter what pressure you’re facing.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

This isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a process tailored to you.
Our work together is structured, adaptive, and built to meet your performance demands in the real world. Here’s how we approach it:

  • Clarify the Mission
    We start by defining what you’re aiming for—whether that’s competing at your best, recovering from injury, or resetting after burnout.

  • Assess the Terrain
    We dig into the full picture—your mental habits, stressors, routines, and goals. That might include structured assessments, interviews with key people, or observation in action.

  • Build the System
    Together we create a performance plan rooted in sport psychology, neuroscience, and clinical insight. It’s not a template—it’s your system.

  • Train It
    Consistent, focused sessions that blend practice, feedback, and real-world application. We adapt as you grow.

  • Sustain It
    Long-term durability is the goal. We refine, reinforce, and expand what works—so it holds under pressure and lasts.

This work isn’t about hype. It’s about building the internal architecture that holds up in any condition.

Because this work is personalized and varies in scope, pricing is shared after an initial discovery conversation to ensure the right fit and structure.
