Sports Performance Therapists in Marietta, GA
Athletes are often taught to push through discomfort, manage pressure quietly, and prioritize performance above all else. Over time, this can take a toll on mental health, identity, and overall well-being. My work focuses on helping athletes feel supported as whole people — not just performers. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and former NCAA Division I swimmer with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I founded Athlete Aligned to provide mental health support tailored to athletes and high-achieving individuals navigating performance pressure, anxiety, and identity concerns.

About Me: I specialize in trauma therapy, sports psychology, and psychological evaluations.
Our Practice: We’ve been hearing for years from clients about how their previous therapist was a good listener, but they didn’t feel like they made much progress. While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. We believe what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. Additionally, we provide psychological evaluations for children and adults looking for diagnostic clarity to guide treatment recommendations.

My name is Keri and I am an LPC with more than 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my BS in Sociology from Kennesaw State University, where I also had the privilege of competing as a Division I softball player. I went on to receive my MS in Community Counseling from North Georgia College and State University, and during that time, I served as an assistant coach for the collegiate softball team. My experiences as both an athlete and coach deeply shaped my understanding of resilience, perseverance, teamwork, and personal growth—qualities that continue to influence my work as a counselor.

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.
