Through personal experiences with life, careers,
sports
, womanhood & transitions, I specialize in serving athletes, young adults & college students.
There are so many things that make us who we are. So many titles we identify with each day: parent, professional, athlete, student, spouse & the list goes on. Regardless of the title, the reality is that we all struggle with different things. Do you desire a space to be seen, heard and to communicate your challenges without judgement? Do you find navigating the woes of life to be challenging & overwhelming? If so, I can only assume that you're ready for a change. You're ready to see something different. To respond differently. To think differently. You want to show up in the world in a new way & I'm here to help you do just that.

Dr. Richard Trammel
Counselor, EdD, MS, L3S-CT
As a
sports
psychologist, I have a unique practice in that I specialize in working with athletes who have the desire to take their game to the next level. Being a competitive athlete helps me relate to other competitive people in
sports
or business. My primary focus is on confidence building and the elimination of performance anxiety. I use a 3 tiered approach to training: Perspective Training, Mental Skills Training, and Applied Settings (if applicable at a sporting location). I am the only professional to offer that kind of travel service. I have also worked with Olympic Athletes (past and hopeful).

I know that it can be really hard to ask for help, especially when you have been a high achiever your whole life. You have had a lot of success, so you probably think, "why can't I fix it myself? Why can't I be perfect?" Whether it’s your health, your work, your eating habits, your relationships, or your feelings about yourself; life isn’t always smooth or easy. Your carefully crafted plans didn't quite work out as hoped. I'm glad you're reaching out. I believe that your emotional well-being is the centerpiece of a healthy life, and that we can work together to help you to get through your challenges and achieve your goals.

It takes courage to navigate this journey we call life. Courage to accept, to let go, to ask for help, to grow, courage to do whatever it is that keeps you from living the life you want to live. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them learn from experiences, increase their ability to cope with the demands of life, & ultimately to grow and live more courageously. My approach is culturally sensitive & integrative incorporating elements of multicultural, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal theory.

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, visualisation, 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.
