Sports Psychology Expert Dr Richard Trammel / I work with athletes who have the desire to take their game to the next level.
My graduate degrees are in Athletic Counseling (M.S.) and Sports Psychology (Doctorate). Athletic Counseling targets issues that aren't necessarily sports-related but can detrimentally affect performance. A Mental Coach should have experience playing sports and coaching athletes in order to relate to them. I also work with parents on coaching.

I may integrate a sports psychology lens when mental health or trauma-related challenges intersect with athletic identity, performance, or burnout.
I meet you with care, honoring the depth of your story and your resilience in navigating life's challenges and seeking help. Together, we will create space to gently explore and make sense of your experiences through deeper reflection and emotional attunement. I specialize in working with young adults, teens, caregivers, and families managing overwhelm, chronic stress, challenging relationship dynamics, history of abuse, or complex trauma. I also work with athletes and achievement-driven individuals whose ambition, discipline, and high standards fuel their lives, yet may leave little room to slow down and process emotional pain.

“This shouldn’t be this hard!” You’re tired of being tired, fighting about the same things over and over, wanting trust with your person, and needing peace for yourself. When conflict repeats and trust erodes, you focus on what the other person is doing wrong, which leaves both of you feeling misunderstood and disconnected. You want the other person to change, but you don’t look honestly at your own patterns, reactions, and contributions to the relationship dynamic. Putting yourself in their shoes becomes less important when you don’t feel heard. You want things to go back to the way they were or forward in the ways you want.

Change for the better is good. Yet any change is difficult. Many of us do well at managing our lives by mitigating our problems with justifications like, "It's not that bad...things could be worse." Until, one day, the epiphany hits, and we realize that we need help. I urge my patients to excavate patterns from their past that may be holding them back, so we can work toward solutions and strategies for bettering their lives and relationships.

My ideal clients are self-aware, growth-oriented individuals who feel ready for more—more alignment, more expression, and more ease.

Many of my clients are neurodivergent and experience both intensity and excitement for life’s possibilities. They may come in feeling overwhelmed, blocked, or disconnected from themselves or their relationships, while also knowing there is a deeper level of clarity, confidence, and fulfillment available to them.

I am here to help you achieve greater wellbeing and fulfillment in life and sport. It is normal to develop anxiety, depression, and trauma in response to the pressure to perform in our modern world, and some turn to substances and other unhelpful coping behaviors to help. Many youth and adults who are athletes and in the general population do not always have the support needed to thrive. That’s where I come in.

You may have built a life that looks accomplished from the outside, yet privately you find yourself carrying more than others realize. You may be navigating a leadership transition, questioning long-held assumptions, grieving what once was, or sensing that the strategies that brought you here are no longer enough.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, curious individuals seeking something deeper than symptom relief. They want greater clarity, stronger relationships, and the ability to remain present under pressure without losing themselves in the process.

When the same thoughts, feelings, or relationship dynamics repeat, it can signal that something important is asking to be understood. I offer Lacanian psychoanalysis, therapy, and couples work in a way thats thoughtful, and free of judgment. Many of the people I work with are navigating relationship anxiety, grief, or feel caught in cycles of overthinking, disconnected from their desire. Together, we create room for the unconscious to speak—so you can relate to your symptoms in new ways and find more freedom to move toward what truly matters to you. Curious to learn more?

I work with teens, couples, families, trauma survivors, creatives, athletes, and high-achieving folks who are burned out but can’t stop pushing. I draw from modalities like CBT, DBT, IFS, polyvagal theory, and somatic work — but none of it matters without trust. That’s the foundation. Everything else is built on top.
This work isn’t easy. But it’s worth it. Together, we’ll polish the mirror and take a long, honest look. And we’ll find compassion, clarity, and direction for the person staring back.
Let’s get to it.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or stress? Do you have a hard time feeling positive? Does your mind focus on all the bad things that have happened in your life or the bad things that might happen in the future? Are you stuck in a pattern of negativity, feeling helpless or scared about making things better? Has this affected your relationships, hobbies, interests, ambitions, work/school, or self-esteem?

You look capable and successful on the outside - but internally you feel scattered, overwhelmed, anxious, or behind. You have big goals and insight, yet starting feels hard and finishing feels harder. You cycle between hyperfocus and avoidance. You procrastinate because you’re overloaded - and then you’re hard on yourself for it. You are driven but may feel stuck in patterns of inconsistency, overcommitment, people-pleasing, or shutting down. I work with outwardly high-functioning adults, those with ADHD traits, anxiety, depression, burnout, executive functioning challenges, emotional dysregulation, and relationship stress.

Sports Performance Therapists
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.
How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.
How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.
What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
