FAQ

What’s the difference between a Sport Psychologist and a Sport Psychology Consultant?

There are 2 types of applied practitioners in the field of sport, exercise, and performance psychology.

A Sport Psychologist is a licensed psychologist who is capable of working with both mental health/clinical and performance-related issues or works on mental health/clinical issues in the context of sport.

A Sport Psychology Consultant is not a psychologist; I view myself as a coach. I introduce knowledge and information about the role of the mind in performance, mental training, and team/organization dynamics, then collaborate with clients to help them put an action plan together to implement those skills.

Because I view myself as a coach, I follow-up with you to see how the implementation is going and work with you to make adjustments as needed between sessions.

I’m interested in your services, but not sure it’s right for me or my child, team, organization, etc..?

No worries. Everyone gets a FREE 30 minute virtual consult to help you get the information you need and see if we’re a good fit!

I’m not struggling with anything in particular, but would like up my mental game, do you do that?

Yes, I have worked with athletes and working professionals on personal and professional development. Common areas covered: Goal Setting, Leadership Development, Career or Mindset Coaching.

What is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC®️), and why is it important?

A Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC®️) is a professional who has undergone rigorous education and training in sport psychology and mental performance. To earn the CMPC designation, I have met the highest industry standards set by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). This certification ensures that I have the knowledge, experience, and ethical foundation to help individuals and organizations enhance their performance through evidence-based mental skills training.

Who can benefit from sport psychology consulting?

Anyone looking to enhance performance, develop leadership skills, or improve their mental approach to challenges can benefit. This includes:

Athletes: Improve focus, overcome mental barriers, enhance motivation, and perform consistently.

Is this a fitness class?

No. While there is a physical component in every session to build confidence, that is only a portion ( 30 minutes or less) of the SCC program.

What does a typical session look like?

Daily Brief
Physical Movement
Mental or Emotional Skill Development
Daily De-Brief and Action Plan

Is this specifically for athletes?

SCC is for any young woman that wants to develop confidence and skills for life through physical, mental, and emotional skill development. The focus of the physical component is general physical preparedness. No matter your fitness level or experience, all fitness components will be adjusted as needed to be appropriate for the individual.

What if I already workout and/or am on a sport specific strength and conditioning program?

Not a problem. The fitness component can be adjusted to ensure training volume and load remains appropriate for your goals. This may include, treating the SCC “workout” as an opportunity to focus on active recovery.

Is SCC group therapy?

No, SCC is not group therapy. Instead, it focuses on introducing participants to practical mental skills and strategies designed to enhance emotional regulation and performance. While it provides tools to manage mental and emotional challenges, it is not intended to replace therapeutic treatment.
