Therapy for Athletes in Los Angeles
Let’s be real — being an athlete isn’t always easy
Behind the training schedules, long practices, and game-day hype, there can be a lot of pressure that no one else really sees. Whether you’re in high school, training for college, or already a pro, being an athlete can feel like your identity, your value, and your future are constantly on the line — especially in a competitive city like Los Angeles.
You might love your sport — and still feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck. You might be injured and wondering who you are without it. You might be showing up every day… but it’s getting harder to stay motivated.
Diversified Therapy in Los Angeles gives you space to talk about what’s really going on — without judgment, without expectations. Just support that’s rooted in who you are, not just what you do.
We recognize that being an athlete is more than just physical prowess; it's an intricate interplay of mind, body, and spirit. We're here to support you in navigating the complexities of your athletic journey, ensuring that your mental well-being is prioritized just as much as your physical health - because you are more than just your performance.
Common Challenges We Address
Performance Anxiety: Managing the stress of competition and expectations with specialized performance anxiety therapy for athletes in Los Angeles.

But above all, this is a space where you can just be honest. No expectations. No “mental toughness” mask. Just real conversations about what matters.
