Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
As both a clinical psychologist and someone deeply embedded in sport culture, I work with athletes navigating both performance goals and mental health concerns. Sports psychology is not only about optimizing performance under pressure, improving focus, or strengthening confidence. It also includes addressing anxiety, burnout, identity struggles, injury recovery, depression, and the clinical needs that often go unspoken in competitive environments. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT and ACT to help athletes regulate emotions, manage performance pressure, and build resilience while also attending to underlying mental health concerns. My approach supports the whole person, not just the athlete, so success is sustainable both on and off the field.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adult athletes, including those competing professionally, internationally, or at other elite levels. My focus is not on coaching your performance, but on supporting you as a human being who also happens to be an athlete. I work with people across all stages of their careers: the early years of building identity and navigating expectations, the intensity and visibility of peak competition, the disruption of injury, and the uncertainty that can come with transition or retirement. I work with athletes who are in the thick of their careers and those who are on the other side of competition, asking, “Who am I now, if I’m not defined by sport?” Even when things look successful from the outside, it can feel isolating to hold so much pressure, expectation, and visibility on your own.
Many athletes I see are navigating relationship strains connected to training, travel, and time away; the expectations and sacrifices that come with elite sport; pressure from coaches, sponsors, media, or social media; life in the public eye with very little true privacy; perfectionism, self-criticism, and the sense that you can never fully relax; family expectations; worries about long-term health or injury; questions of trust; and wondering who you are if you are not always competing, winning, or pushing through. There is often a deeper challenge of finding meaning, identity, and purpose beyond sport.
Confidentiality is central to this work. My office is intentionally private, with no shared waiting room or overlapping sessions, so you can arrive and leave without being seen by other clients. You are not just an athlete or a brand, you are a person navigating a complex life, relationships, health, and big decisions about the future. Our work centers you as a whole human, so you have a stable place to sort through what you are navigating and how you want to move forward.
