Katisha Chaney

My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral strategies, strengths-based interventions, and performance-focused mental wellness support. I help athletes understand how thoughts, emotions, and pressure affect performance while building practical tools to improve focus, confidence, and emotional regulation.

Together, we will begin identifying goals and the areas you want to strengthen, whether that’s managing performance anxiety, rebuilding confidence, improving focus, or restoring balance. I will also explain how therapy works, answer questions, and outline practical next steps.

Clients describe me as supportive, approachable, and easy to talk to, while also being direct and practical. Athletes appreciate having a space where they can speak honestly about pressure and expectations without judgment. Many say they leave sessions feeling clearer, more confident, and equipped with tools to manage stress and stay focused.

I specialize in working with middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes who feel intense pressure to perform and struggle with anxiety, burnout, fear of failure, or confidence. I help athletes strengthen performance, manage stress, and stay connected to who they are beyond their sport as they navigate competition, academics, and life demands.

I became a therapist because I believe mental health support can transform how people navigate challenges and build resilience. I am passionate about helping young people develop confidence, emotional strength, and clarity so they can move through pressure, setbacks, and life transitions with greater stability and purpose.
