Mental Health Counseling for Athletes

Today is your first step on the journey to wellness.

Counseling for Athletes

Are you doubting yourself, worried about failing, been injured, or are having difficulty separating who you are from the sport you play? Jonathan W. Thompson II offers mental health counseling for athletes in Santa Barbara and throughout California virtually.

You are seen.

Fear of failure and self-doubt often lead to increased anxiety for athletes. There can be a fear of injury and various mental setbacks when recovering or rehabbing, such as the fear of being cut or replaced by someone who may have availability over ability. Athletes are conditioned to perform.

I help you better understand the link between mental health and performance. When your life is balanced, you will be more present to compete at a high level in your craft. This leveling up can give you an edge over your competition by improving focus, helping you to visualize success and manage life’s stressors.

As a former college football player and multisport athlete, I understand athletes' unique challenges. I am a mental health therapist who has worked with youth, high school, collegiate, and professional athletes. Let’s give you an additional edge that your peers may not yet be accessing.

“A trophy carries dust. Memories last forever.”
