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.

  • And More

Our counselors, who are former elite athletes, offer strategies that resonate with student-athletes, helping them build resilience and thrive both on and off the field.
