Whether you play on a team (e.g., soccer, basketball, baseball) or compete individually (e.g., tennis, gymnastics, triathlons), athletes sometimes need support to perform at their best. If your performances are not at the level you expect despite your physical training and technical skills or if you are struggling to maintain your motivation or feel consistently confident in yourself, you may benefit from working with one of our sport psychology consultants.

Our clinics are delivered by our sport psychology staff and provide athletes with in depth knowledge, skills/tools, and strategies to help them improve their performances.  We offer a wide variety of skills clinics each Fall and Spring. In each clinic, through presentations by our sport psychology staff, and in-clinic discussions and activities, you will be introduced to the skill, given the opportunity to practice it, and provided with materials to help you transfer and use the skill on your own outside of the clinic. Overall, the goal of our clinics is to provide you with practical, real-world knowledge and strategies to improve your performances and gain the edge over your competition.

Although many sport psychology and mental performance skills can be developed through our clinics, some athletes and performers prefer working individually with a sport psychology consultant. Through our center, we offer individualized sessions tailored to your specific performance needs. Whether you’re looking to elevate your current performance, gain more consistency and confidence in your sport, or address personal challenges that are affecting how you show up as an athlete, individual sessions will provide the opportunity to explore your situation in depth and develop customized strategies that will help you improve and be more satisfied.

 Individual sessions typically occur once a week, though frequency may vary based on your needs. Most sessions take place at our Center on the University of North Texas – Denton campus, but we also recognize the diverse needs of our athletes and sessions may occur virtually or in the athletes’ performance setting. Such decisions would be made through conversations with your sport psychology consultant.  Individual sessions typically last 50-55 minutes.

Individual sessions begin with a 10–15-minute phone consultation, which will be conducted by our Center staff.  Following this consultation, athletes are assigned to one of staff who will then directly schedule the first session, which is a more formal intake during which we obtain extensive information about the athlete and their current concerns.  At the end of this intake session, we will discuss next steps with the athlete, including our plan for helping them with their performance concerns.  Subsequent sessions are then scheduled weekly to implement the plan. 

The cost of individual sessions will be determined during the initial phone consultation with our staff. Although we do not accept insurance payments directly, we can provide documentation for you to submit to your provider.

If individual sessions are held outside of the Center's offices, such as at an athlete’s practice facility, travel expenses will be assessed.
