Providing clinical sport psychology services from middle school to professional
athletes in over 30 sports for the past 15 years
For several years, I worked in a sports medicine clinic helping athletes of various ages and skill levels with performance, injury, and mental health concerns. Several themes were present:
So, out of these themes, came my vision to start Excel Sport Psychology, an online sport psychology practice.
Individual Performance
If you feel like your teen is not enjoying their sport or meeting their ideal potential, there are ways to boost both their skills and well-being.
Athlete Mental Health
If you feel like your athlete is struggling with mood, anxiety, or stress management, there are skills they can learn to manage these concerns.
Sports Injury
If you teen recently suffered an injury and is struggling being out of sport or returning back to sport, sport psychology can help your teen learn skills to manage time away from their sport as well as strategies to improve performance while they are away from their sport.
Pain Management
Pain is not entirely physical. If your teen is struggling with chronic pain that is impacting their daily life, they can learn strategies to take control back.
I spent the first few years as a psychologist trying to find my true passion. Then I met the field of sport psychology. Finding a way to help athletes excel at what they enjoy was truly the job for me!
I specialize in working with individuals and teams at all levels, with a primary focus on adolescent athletes providing strategies to manage the demands of elite sports. I currently provide virtual team services to various collegiate athletics and elite youth sports organizations throughout the US.
What sets Excel Sport Psychology apart is not just experience, it is the level of access and intentionality you receive. Visits are purposeful and strategically timed, and when you reach out between sessions, you hear back.
Client
“My daughter was struggling with confidence and not playing well before meeting Dr. Myrvik. She also wanted nothing to do with meeting a therapist. But, after one visit with Dr. Myrvik, she completely understood why all athletes could benefit from meeting with him. Now, I have never seen my daughter so happy. It is so great to have her back.”
Client
“Do it, that is all I can say. I are not sure why I did not work with Dr. Myrvik sooner. He turned my season around. He is amazing!”
