We all have a superpower and it is to see the future; well at least we think we can see the future. Sometimes we get overwhelmed with "what if" and it prevents us from moving forward. What about sometimes losing memory of certain events or loss of ability to engage in the event. My goal is to assist those struggling with performance anxiety, mental blocks due to emotional distress and returning back to sports/life after injury. Through brain spotting, talk therapy, M.E.A.L. P.R.E.P framework and other therapeutic tools you will be able to implement and shift in order to move to the next play in your mental wellness.

Everyone has rough times caused by life situations, mental health or a combination of both. Whatever the reason, it is the actions you take next that determines success or staying stuck. No matter what age or arena you are in!

I'm open to a broad client base but my predominant experience is with first gen college students, pro athletes & their family members. I ran the mental health services for UW athletics and am currently the consulting clinician for the Seattle Mariners and the NHL. I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy the way you thought it might. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.

I believe that therapy can empower you to live the life that you seek. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, grieving a loss, managing relationship issues or processing trauma, I am here to provide a safe, non judgmental and compassionate environment where you can express yourself freely and be fully heard.

I appreciate you reaching out. If you have recognized a need to change or feel trapped, let’s get started. I treat most conditions but specialize in perfectionism, people-pleasers, high achievers, athletes, and those in creative industries. We'll balance respecting the seriousness and vulnerability of the topics being discussed with humility, perspective-taking, and humor. While I acknowledge the benefits of emotional processing and frequently include this practice when appropriate, my ideal client is proactive and action-oriented. Simply put, I hope we laugh while accomplishing your goals.

Do you struggle with anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, sports performance, and relationship issues? Marriage counseling may been on your mind for a while, but you didn’t know where to start. Or, you may be an athlete, musician, entrepreneur, or C-suite leader and have struggled to connect with others who don't understand the leadership fatigue, performance pressure, professional, and even spiritual matters you face. With my 15+ years of working as an entrepreneur, we can partner together to increase your hope, decrease your loneliness, and upgrade your performance in a safe space.

Growing up in a military family, I sought a deep need for connection and affirmation, which I pursued through competitive sports and academics. It wasn’t until my early adulthood that I realized this deep need was a common thread with individuals across many backgrounds and cultures. I began to understand the value of the “wholeness” of a person rather than the perfection we are taught to run after. My desires for helping others continued with life experiences such as marrying at a young age, relocating to new cities, and becoming a new mother.

We specialize in sports performance, sports psychology and mental health for athletes. Regardless of the challenge you face, our role is to guide you toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life in and out of sport. We'll help you focus on what is most important to you and teach you how to overcome the barriers that get in your way (e.g. stress, anxiety, relationships, etc.). This will include helping you gain a deeper understanding of your concerns as well as teaching you specific skills and strategies you can use to manage the challenges you face, and ultimately move toward the goals you have in your life.

I am located at Nashville Neuro Psychiatric Associates near Music Row. Grief, anxiety, trauma, and sports performance are my primary areas of interest. As a former athlete, coach, and organizational leader, I understand the impact our inner voice has upon our confidence, mood, and relationships. Gaining insight into ourselves can free us to overcome obstacles that seemed historically insurmountable.

High quality, holistic therapy has never been more needed, more in demand, and more challenging to secure. Maybe you've tried various forms of therapy without seeing lasting results. Maybe you've been frustrated and discouraged by trying to get off of countless waitlists. Maybe you have never divulged what's going on inside of you to another person. There is a better way to nurture your nervous system, and it's accessible in a matter of hours. Using the body's built-in reset network, we work together to build new pathways in the brain and new experiences in the body that allow for the old stuff to release and new things to begin.

My goal as a therapist is to guide you in finding your innate capacity for healing so that you can work through the things getting in the way of being the fullest, most authentic version of yourself. Whether that’s trauma, a complicated relationship with food/body image, sexual challenges, creative blocks, navigating neurodivergence, relational challenges, navigating LGBTQ+ related issues, or navigating the stress of working in the creative/entertainment/music industries, I’m here to support you in building a life you can truly enjoy and thrive in, not just survive.

As children, most of us didn't get taught what we needed to know so that we could become mature adults and often times we find ourselves asking "why do I do what I do" & "how did I lose myself." There are concrete answers to these questions which can change your life. I teach clients how to better understand their story so that they may connect the dots. If you understand how you got here you can make changes in the way you think, feel and act. Finding root causes of issues that keep you stuck enables you to experience clarity and insight which reduces feelings of confusion, frustration and hopelessness. This therapy is

Do you notice yourself being forgetful or having brain fog? Or those close to you point out that you seem “out of it?" Maybe you questioned if past events actually happened or if these hurtful experiences should affect you like they do today. You might also have a hard time expressing your emotions because of overwhelm, numbness, or fear of judgement. And there's a harsh inner critic that makes it hard to accept parts of yourself. If this resonates with you, know you're not alone.

People's lives are full of change, transitions and evolving relationships. It is natural to feel ungrounded or stressed during these transitions. Whether you are depressed, anxious, or experiencing challenges in your relationships, my aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment to facilitate exploration and strengthen self esteem and relationships with family, friends or professional colleagues. My approach as a psychotherapist is non-judgmental, value-based, and practical. I am an active therapist who is dedicated to helping people live their best lives.

I specialize in Somatic Attachment-Focused EMDR therapy, a body-mind approach to help you heal from current and past pain and discomfort. Additionally, I incorporate the Safe and Sound Protocol in my practice. My expertise lies in supporting young adults aged 16 and above, as well as adults who have experienced recent traumatic events or have Complex PTSD as a result of unhealed childhood trauma, abuse, neglect, and other areas of focus, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, depressive disorder, and performance enhancement.

Hi, Marvin Wilkerson, Consulting & Medical Hypnotist, Master NLP & Esoteric Psychology. I help clients with mental and physical issues causing conflicts in the body & mind.

As my slogan attests, “A true healer finds joy in each client’s recovery.”® Don’t you deserve a life-change today?

Managing life’s challenges can overwhelming. Whether juggling typical ups and downs or coping with loss, trauma, major upset, or crisis, I have found that clients seek therapy with me because they are tired of feeling alone in their struggles and want an emotional connection with an experienced therapist who is empathic, caring, understanding, and non-judgmental. I work with a variety of clients and issues, including depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, addictions, or relationship conflicts. At the core, I think clients are searching for happiness, fulfillment, and purpose in life.
