Sports psychiatry

Sports psychiatry focuses on the identification and treatment of various psychiatric conditions to enhance athletic performance. Our sports psychiatrists look at the whole person and work to understand an athlete throughout their development. Our program also balances lifestyle intervention with pharmacologic interventions to avoid potential risks and negative impacts with prescription medications.

We treat patients who are 18 years and older and we welcome individuals from a variety of sports, including football, volleyball, lacrosse, equestrian, dancing and cheerleading.
