THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU AT ELITE MINDS
Elite Minds offers unique service tailored to the unique needs and experiences of athletes.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
Individual counseling, involves private sessions with a counselor aimed at assisting you in recognizing, understanding, managing, and recovering from personal and mental health challenges. These challenges can often be distressing, perplexing, or even shameful, making individual sessions a secure environment for exploration and healing. Athletes at any level—whether in high school, college, professional, recreational, injured, or retired—can gain significant advantages from tailored, focused one-on-one support.
MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING
Relationships can often be intricate, regardless of whether you are married, engaged, dating, or single while exploring the landscape of interpersonal connections. The challenges can be further intensified by the demands of an athletic career. Marriage and relationship counseling is designed to assist individuals and their partners in managing the unique pressures and dynamics that arise from a life in sports. This therapeutic approach typically involves both partners and aims to facilitate conflict resolution, promote healing from past relational injuries, enhance communication skills, and ultimately fortify the bond between partners.
COLLEGE STUDENT-ATHLETE COUNSELING
The experience of being a collegiate student-athlete is far from monotonous. This stage of life is often characterized by a vibrant mix of enthusiasm, a deep commitment to athletics, and a plethora of new possibilities. Yet, it can also present significant challenges, as individuals grapple with the transition to college life, forge relationships with unfamiliar coaches, teammates, and peers, and strive to maintain a delicate balance between academic responsibilities and athletic commitments. Additionally, many may encounter mental health issues for the first time during this period. Whether you are a freshman seeking to establish your identity, a redshirt athlete adjusting to a temporary position, a sophomore or junior finding your footing, a transfer student starting anew, or a senior contemplating graduation and potential retirement from sports, engaging in individual counseling can offer a valuable opportunity to reflect on and navigate this distinctive chapter of life.
COLLEGE RECRUITING COUNSELING
The college recruiting process is one of the most emotionally charged experiences for high school athletes. During this critical period, young athletes face the daunting task of making significant life and career choices while navigating the uncertainties surrounding the coaches and programs they engage with. This journey can evoke a wide range of emotions, from overwhelming joy and excitement as aspirations are realized, to familial conflicts fueled by heightened emotions, and even feelings of sorrow and loss when opportunities seem to diminish. To support athletes and their families through this complex emotional landscape, college recruiting counseling is designed to help them process their feelings and clarify their core values, which can guide them in making these pivotal decisions. Counseling sessions can be tailored to individual athletes or include key family members and supporters, depending on the specific objectives and requirements of the athlete.
TEAM WORKSHOPS
​Elite Minds provides customized team workshops designed to meet the specific requirements of your group. These requirements can encompass enhancing communication strategies, establishing and achieving goals and expectations, resolving conflicts within the team, clarifying team values, fostering team cohesion, learning to motivate and support diverse personality types, and addressing issues related to burnout during mid-season or off-season periods. Additionally, workshops may cover educational content on mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, anger management, coping with intense emotions, substance use, and grief. These workshops can be conducted off-site at a venue that suits both the needs of your team and the objectives of the workshop. If you are a coach or part of the athletic staff, we invite you to collaborate with us to develop a tailored workshop that will leave a meaningful and lasting impression on your team.
