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.
