What is Sport Psychology Consulting?
This is an intentional relationship between consultant and client with the intent of moving the client toward higher levels of mental, spiritual, and physical performance. Together, you two identify issues in your life and break down barriers to help move toward more fully living. SHIFT Sport Psychology can help lay the groundwork for individuals and teams to grow, communicate, improve behavior, and move into higher states of functioning.
Life is full of curveballs throwing us off of living and performing fully. Events, people, situations, or concerns of existence can all bring about emotional distress and pain. Sometimes we just plain get stuck. SHIFT Sport Psychology offers caring and professional assistance that is needed to improve performance and live fully.
What can I expect in a sport psychlogy session?
A session usually lasts 50-60 minutes, although longer sessions may be considered useful. Depending on the situation, weekly to bi-weekly sessions are encouraged with an end date in mind. It is expected that between sessions, clients will think, process and act on what was discussed. At times, you may be asked to do something specific outside of the sessions. For example: reading a relevant book or taking steps to improve a situation. Time spent working outside of sessions is critical for therapeutic improvement. For sessions to be most efficient you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions.
The atmosphere with SHIFT is relaxed, comfortable, and free from judgment. However, we will push you when necessary to consider change. During your initial session, we will discuss your current situation and relevant history. Sport Psychology consultation is a collaborative process and we will work together to move you toward greater health. As the relationship grows and trust builds, accountability is essential and will be a part of our relationship.
What benefits can I expect from working with a counselor?
A number of benefits are available from participating. Improved mental, spiritual, and physical performance are examples. Often it is helpful just to know that someone authentically understands and whose entire goal is your well-being. Sport Psychology consulting can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem and can help break down walls impeding growth. Sport Psychology with SHIFT strives to help us all find our true narrative and give up the false selves we create. Once again, the benefits obtained from this works depends on how well a person uses the process and puts into practice what is learned in the session out in life.
Are my sessions confidential?
Creating a safe environment is of the highest priority with SHIFT. As a client, you are guaranteed the protection of confidentiality within the boundaries of the client/consultant relationship. The only limitations to confidentiality occur when you request presence in public settings (sporting events) and when clients are considered either a threat to themselves or someone else, or when legal requirements demand that confidential information be disclosed. This policy will be disclosed at the first session and revisited as needed. Safety of the client’s information is essential at SHIFT.
Additionally, if we are out moving, others may see you. We can discuss how to approach this in our first session.
Are you available in the evenings or on weekends?

SHIFT will make every effort to return your phone call within 24 business hours and we can typically accommodate new clients within one week.
