<\/div><\/div>ABOUT<\/h3><\/div>Melissa Monroe<\/h3><\/div>Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC<\/p>\n
I became a therapist because I genuinely love helping people work through what’s holding them back.<\/p>\n
As a lifelong athlete and parent of competitive athletes, I’ve experienced firsthand the rewards and pressures of sport. The combination of personal experience and clinical training is what led me to specialize in both mental health counseling and sports performance consulting.<\/p>\n
I believe that performance and well-being are deeply connected. Whether I’m working with someone navigating a difficult season of life or an athlete working toward their next goal, my approach is the same: ask the right questions, listen, and guide progress through honest and supportive conversation.<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How is sports performance consulting different from therapy?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nSports performance consulting is goal-directed and focused on your specific sport or athletic pursuit.

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What can sports performance consulting help with?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nSports performance consulting is for any athlete looking to sharpen their mindset and gain a competitive edge.

I became a therapist because I genuinely love helping people work through what’s holding them back.<\/p>\n
As a lifelong athlete and parent of competitive athletes, I’ve experienced firsthand the rewards and pressures of sport. The combination of personal experience and clinical training is what led me to specialize in both mental health counseling and sports performance consulting.<\/p>\n
I believe that performance and well-being are deeply connected. Whether I’m working with someone navigating a difficult season of life or an athlete working toward their next goal, my approach is the same: ask the right questions, listen, and guide progress through honest and supportive conversation.<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Do I have to be an athlete to work with you?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nOf course not!

She’s been incredibly helpful in my life.”<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n“She made me feel comfortable and safe and I truly look forward to our sessions together. She has made such a positive impact in how I see myself and the world around me.”<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n“She’s helped me through some of the hardest transitions and situations in my adult life and continues to gently guide me in the right direction without overwhelming me.”<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n“Melissa is wonderful and knowledgeable. I always feel a path under my feet after every weekly session!”<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n“She’s an awesome therapist. Our sessions have become an important element of my self-care regimen.”<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n“Melissa is insightful, caring and both gentle & firm when need be! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to dig deep and want to be held accountable!”<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS<\/h3><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Who do you work with?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nI work with pre-teens, adolescents, and adults through both mental health therapy and sports performance consulting. I am currently accepting new clients for both services.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Are you taking new clients?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nYes! I am currently accepting new clients for both mental health therapy and sports performance consulting. Reach out to schedule a free, 15-minute conversation to discuss your options.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What can I expect during the first session?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nOur first session is about getting to know you \u2014 your values, goals, and what you’re hoping to get out of our work together. From there, I build a tailored plan that guides everything we do going forward.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Do I have to be an athlete to work with you?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nOf course not! Mental health counseling is for anyone managing stress, navigating transitions, or seeking balance in daily life. Sports performance consulting focuses more specifically on the athletic mindset and the unique demands of competition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>How is sports performance consulting different from therapy?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nSports performance consulting is goal-directed and focused on your specific sport or athletic pursuit. We build and apply mental skills, track progress, and celebrate wins along the way. It’s typically shorter in duration than therapy and laser-focused on performance outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What can sports performance consulting help with?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nSports performance consulting is for any athlete looking to sharpen their mindset and gain a competitive edge. Many athletes come proactively to build stronger habits and develop pre- and post-performance routines. Athletes navigating downtime or working through an injury often benefit from our sessions!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Is sports performance consulting only for athletes who are struggling?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nNot at all! Build confidence, sharpen focus, manage pressure, bounce back from mistakes, stay motivated. These are skills every competitor can build, regardless of where they are in their season or career.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>How can sports performance consulting help me perform better?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nEvery plan is built around your goals and what you need most. Sessions draw from a range of proven mental skills techniques including goal setting, visualization, breathing and grounding, confidence-building strategies, mindfulness, and performance preparation routines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
ABOUT<\/h3><\/div>Melissa Monroe<\/h3><\/div>Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC<\/p>\n
I became a therapist because I genuinely love helping people work through what’s holding them back.<\/p>\n
As a lifelong athlete and parent of competitive athletes, I’ve experienced firsthand the rewards and pressures of sport. The combination of personal experience and clinical training is what led me to specialize in both mental health counseling and sports performance consulting.<\/p>\n
I believe that performance and well-being are deeply connected. Whether I’m working with someone navigating a difficult season of life or an athlete working toward their next goal, my approach is the same: ask the right questions, listen, and guide progress through honest and supportive conversation.<\/p><\/h3><\/div>
