Supporting Teen and Adult Athletes

Therapy Services for Athletes in Charleston, SC

Athletes face unique pressures that can affect both their mental health and their performance. At Carolina Counseling for Athletes, we provide therapy for athletes who are navigating anxiety, performance pressure, confidence struggles, injury and recovery, identity, difficult experiences, and other challenges that can impact life both on and off the field.

Our approach combines mental health counseling with an understanding of sports and athletic performance. We work with high school athletes, college athletes, adult athletes, former athletes, and parents who are looking for specialized support from a therapist who understands the athletic experience.

Whether you are struggling with sports performance anxiety, feeling overwhelmed by expectations, trying to rebuild confidence after an injury, navigating a transition in your athletic career, or simply feeling like you’re not yourself, therapy can provide a space to slow down, understand what’s happening, and develop practical tools to move forward.

Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Carolina Counseling for Athletes offers in-person counseling locally and online therapy for athletes throughout South Carolina. Our goal is to help athletes build mental skills, strengthen confidence, manage pressure, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves and their sport.

Emotional & Mental Health Support
Emotional & Mental Health Support
Feeling stressed, anxious, or burned out doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means your mind needs attention. I support teen and adult athletes in managing life’s pressures, improving emotional resilience, and maintaining balance so you can perform at your best both on and off the field.

Performance Anxiety & Pressure
Performance Anxiety & Pressure
Pre-game nerves, self-doubt, or that feeling like you’re not enough can get in the way of your best performance. I help athletes face pressure head-on, quiet the inner critic, and step into competition with confidence and focus. Together, we’ll build tools to keep your mind clear, calm, and resilient.

Injury & Recovery
Injury & Recovery
Recovering from injury is about more than the physical—it can shake your motivation, confidence, and mental edge. I work with athletes to process setbacks, rebuild focus, and regain the drive needed to return to peak performance.

Trauma and Difficult Experiences
Trauma Reprocessing
Some blocks go deeper than stress or anxiety—they’re stored in the body and brain. Using a relational, brain-body-focused method, I help athletes process past injuries, trauma, and lingering mental barriers to restore clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Identity & Self-Worth
Identity & Self-Worth
Who are you when the game is over? Athletic identity can be powerful but also limiting if it defines your self-worth. We’ll explore your purpose, confidence, and sense of self beyond sports, so you feel whole no matter the scoreboard.
