Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Sports psychology isn’t just for elite professionals—it’s for any athlete who wants to perform better, enjoy the process more, and handle the mental side of training and racing. As an endurance runner myself, I understand how the mind can become the biggest limiter: race-day nerves, motivation dips, fear of failure, DNF/DNS recovery, perfectionism, or the mental fog after injury.
In our work together, we blend clinical counseling tools with practical performance strategies. Using CBT to reframe unhelpful thoughts, ACT to stay focused on what you can control, and DBT skills for emotion regulation under pressure, we address the mental barriers that affect your training consistency, race execution, and overall love of the sport.
Many clients experience meaningful gains such as:
Stronger mental toughness and resilience during tough efforts or setbacks.
Better race-day mindset tools (visualization, mantras, pacing psychology).
Improved motivation and consistency even when life gets busy.
Faster recovery from disappointing races or injuries.
Greater enjoyment and presence while running instead of constant self-pressure.
Because I’m also an assistant running coach and semi-professional ultramarathoner, I bring real-world experience to our sessions. For deeper race-specific mental strategies and non-clinical mindset coaching, I offer services through my companion site, Finish Stronger Mindset Coaching.
You don’t have to let your mind hold back your body. Whether you’re chasing PRs, building consistency, or simply wanting to love running again, we can develop the mental tools that help you show up stronger—on the starting line, in training, and across every finish line.

Psychologist, PhD
For more than 30 years I've helped athletes and equestrians turn self-doubt into confidence, fear into courage, distraction into focus, and pressure into performance. Whether you're chasing a competitive goal, stuck in a slump, or rebuilding your nerve after a fall or injury, we'll train the mental side of your sport with the same seriousness you bring to the physical. It's the work Riding Far was built on and it reaches well beyond the arena.
