Counseling
Personalized Support for Every Athlete
Our counseling services offer a safe, confidential space for athletes to discuss and address their mental health concerns. Whether dealing with anxiety, depression, or the pressures of competition, our counselors are here to help.
At GearUp for Mental Health
We understand the unique challenges faced by collegiate athletes. Our counseling services provide a confidential space where athletes can address:
Anxiety & Depression: Manage emotional challenges that may impact performance and overall well-being.
Substance Use: Receive support for overcoming addiction and making healthier life choices.
Eating Disorders: Helps athletes develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies, which in turn improves both their mental and physical health
Domestic & Intimate Partner Violence: Studies indicate that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 3 men experience abuse. Among women in athletics, the prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is notably higher, with 41% affected, yet many choose to remain silent about their experiences.
Relationship Issues: Navigate personal relationships while balancing the demands of sports.
Life Transitions: Cope with changes such as transitioning from high school to college or dealing with injury recovery.
Trauma: Heal from past experiences or unprocessed trauma empowering them to regain control and thrive in their athletic and personal lives.
ADD/ADHD: Focused ADD/ADHD counseling to help athletes develop strategies for managing symptoms, enhancing their concentration, and maximizing their performance.
