Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Integrating mental health support with athletic performance requires a specialized understanding of the "athlete's mindset." Whether you are a competitive student-athlete (ages 10+), a collegiate performer, or a weekend warrior, our Master’s level, clinically licensed therapists help you bridge the gap between your mental well-being and your physical goals.
The Mental Edge: Therapy for Athletes & Performers
In sports, mental health is performance. We help athletes move past the mental blocks that keep them from their full potential, while ensuring they remain resilient individuals outside of their sport.
How We Support Athletes
We address the unique pressures of the athletic world using evidence-based clinical tools:
Identity & Self-Esteem: We help athletes build a sense of self that isn't solely tied to their stats or win/loss record—a crucial step for long-term mental health.
Injury Recovery: Navigating the grief and frustration of being sidelined, helping you maintain a positive mindset during physical rehab.
High-Conflict Systems: For youth athletes, we help navigate the "high-conflict" dynamics that can arise between players, parents, and coaches.
Our Specialized Youth Approach (Ages 10+)
For younger athletes, we utilize specialized interactive software to help them visualize goals, track their emotional "game film," and build the self-esteem necessary to thrive both on and off the field.
Your Performance Roadmap
Every athlete’s journey starts with a full assessment to determine where your mental "blind spots" are.
Clinical Assessment: We look at the intersection of your life and your sport.
Goal Setting: We set specific markers for success—such as reducing pre-game panic, improving focus, or healing from a past injury.
Collaborative Plan: We discuss a treatment plan together that respects your training schedule and competitive season.
We know that athletes have demanding schedules. We make it easy to get the support you need:
Online Therapy: Meet with your therapist from home or while traveling for games.
Free Consults: Meet with a therapist to ensure they "get" your sport and your goals before you dive in.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Elite performance isn't just physical. The athletes and coaches who sustain long careers are the ones who give the same attention to their mental game that they give to their physical training. I work with college and professional athletes, high school competitors, and coaches navigating performance anxiety, burnout, identity after injury or retirement, team conflict, and the relentless pressure to perform. I've competed as a distance runner and tennis player, so I understand firsthand what it means to push through mental resistance when your body and mind are working against each other. My approach is direct, practical, and built around your specific competitive context.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
In my work as a sports psychology consultant, I help individuals at all levels of sports to perform at their best. Depending on the individual, I might assist them in learning to relax and reduce excess nerves and anxiety. We might focus on improving confidence through developing healthy self talk and eliminating negative "blocking" beliefs. For some clients, the issue might be dealing with injuries coping with retirement. As a sports psychology consultant and mental skills coach, I have worked with children as young a 10 and seniors in their 70's and beyond.From individual sports like tennis and swimming to team sports like basketball and hockey, I help athletes improve in their sport and in their lives both on and off the playing field.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a former collegiate volleyball and softball player, I understand that athletic performance incorporates so much more than physical training. I work with athletes who are struggling with anxiety, confidence, focus, or team dynamics. Additionally, I see athletes after they have experienced some major event in their athletic lives; such as acute and chronic injuries, pain, illness, or physical changes with aging. Athletes also struggle frequently with eating concerns and body image. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating sports-related performance.
