Counseling for Performance or Sports Anxiety in Atlanta, GA

Today is the day you’ve been dreading for weeks. You must give a presentation at work or school.  You can’t shake off the nervousness and anxiety that has been building up inside you.

You knew you were prepared and had practiced many times, but the thought of being in front of colleagues or teammates makes your heart race and your mind go blank.

As soon as you begin, your hands start shaking uncontrollably, and you stumble over your words. You feel everyone’s eyes on you.  You struggle through the rest of the presentation. You leave work or class feeling defeated and hopeless.

You typically avoid any situation that could trigger anxiety. You’re terrified of the thought of failing again, and you can’t seem to shake off the negative thoughts. The fear of being judged and embarrassed is overwhelming, and it’s starting to take a toll on your mental health. You’re considering seeking professional help, but you’re afraid of admitting that you have a problem.

Pressure to Succeed at Sports

Maybe you’re an athlete. Sports can be nerve-wracking, especially when competing at a high level or against other talented athletes. You often feel anxious before big games or matches, and it can be challenging to manage those feelings. Lately, your anxiety has been affecting your performance on the field, and you’re starting to worry that it's holding you back from reaching your full potential.

You just want to cope with your anxiety, allowing you to stay focused on your game.  You want to learn skills and strategies to overcome sports anxiety and feel like yourself again.

You’re Worried That You Can’t Keep Going.

When you have a high stress level, it can be tough to keep going. Your job or responsibilities require you to perform. You want to believe in yourself again. You just need some help.
