Mental Performance Therapy for Athletes and High-Performing Adults

I work with athletes and high-performing individuals when pressure, mental blocks, or burnout start impacting performance.

At Square One Counseling, therapy is designed to go beyond surface-level tools—helping address the underlying patterns, beliefs, and experiences that affect how you show up when it matters most.

What This Work Supports

  • Performance anxiety and pressure

  • Mental blocks and inconsistency

  • Fear of failure or success

  • Burnout and emotional exhaustion

  • Negative self-talk (e.g., “I’m not good enough”)

  • Difficulty staying present under pressure

What Makes This Different

Most performance work focuses on tools and strategies.

While those can be helpful, they often don’t fully resolve the underlying issue.

EMDR therapy allows us to target the root of performance blocks, so change is not just temporary, but lasting.

The goal isn’t just to feel better, it’s to perform with more clarity, confidence, and consistency when it matters most.

How I Work

  • Practical tools for immediate regulation and focus

  • EMDR therapy to address underlying patterns and blocks

  • A personalized approach based on each individual’s goals

Who This Is For

This work is a good fit for athletes, professionals, and high-performing individuals who:

  • Feel stuck despite doing “all the right things”

  • Notice patterns they can’t think their way out of

  • Experience pressure that impacts performance or well-being

  • Want deeper, lasting change

Sessions are available in-person in Camas, WA in a private, boutique setting, or via telehealth across Washington and Missouri.
