Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Does your child struggle with confidence on and off the court? Sports can be an immense source of pressure, and the internal narrative of a young athlete often dictates their performance as much as their physical skill. In my practice, I provide a supportive space to help your child navigate the stressors of competitive sports, manage performance anxiety, and build a resilient sense of self-worth that extends far beyond the final whistle. We will work together to quiet the inner critic, embrace a growth mindset, and ensure that their identity is rooted in personal values rather than just athletic outcomes.
