Sports Performance

Serving clients at Lakewood · Centennial · Northglenn · Telehealth available statewide in Colorado
The mental game is where championships are won—and where athletes quietly suffer. Whether you’re dealing with performance anxiety, burnout, injury recovery, or the pressure of high-stakes competition, Oak Tree Behavioral Services offers sports psychology-informed therapy to help you compete at your best.

Signs You May Benefit from Sports Performance Support

  • Anxiety before or during competition
  • Mental blocks or choking under pressure
  • Difficulty recovering mentally after injury
  • Burnout, loss of motivation, or withdrawal from sport
  • Identity struggles tied to athletic performance
  • Perfectionism or fear of failure affecting your game

Our Treatment Approach

We use evidence-based mental performance techniques including visualization, attentional focus training, self-talk restructuring, and CBT for performance anxiety. We also address the whole athlete—including mental health challenges that exist beyond sport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with youth athletes?
Yes. We work with athletes from middle school through elite adult competition.
Is sports performance therapy covered by insurance?
Sessions that address clinical concerns (anxiety, depression) are typically covered. Pure performance coaching may not be.
Can you help me come back from an injury?
Yes. The psychological side of injury recovery—fear of re-injury, identity disruption, depression—is a major focus of our sports therapy work.
