If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Athletes often come to me saying things like:

"I just don't play well in games like I do in practice."

"I don't know why I keep making mistakes."

"I just get so worried before games."

"I am worried I am not going to be as good when I get back from my injury."

Whether you are an athlete feeling frustrated — or a parent watching your child struggle — these challenges are incredibly common. And the good news is, they’re workable.

How I help

This isn’t about motivational quotes like “just think positive”

My work focuses on practical mental skills athletes can actually use:

Building confidence that lasts — even after mistakes
Managing pressure, anxiety, and expectations
Recovering mentally after injuries or tough seasons
Developing resilience and emotional control

Every athlete is different, so sessions are personalized, supportive, and built around real situations you’re dealing with.

Who I Work With

Middle school and high school athletes
College athletes
Athletes returning from injury
Parents looking for support for their child
Coaches seeking better mindset tools

All sessions are held online, making it easy to fit support into busy schedules.

Hi, I’m Dr. Matthew Myrvik

I’m a licensed psychologist who specializes in sport and performance psychology. I’ve worked with athletes across many sports and competitive levels, helping them navigate pressure, confidence issues, and mental blocks that hold them back.

My goal is simple: help athletes feel confident, prepared, and in control again.

What Athletes and Parents Often Tell Me

“Dr. Myrvik was amazing. I felt like he was reading my mind because he was saying all the things I was worried about with my son in baseball. After a couple of visits, my son really started to enjoy things more and started to play better. He wanted to quit before meeting Dr. Myrvik. Dr. Myrvik is a must!”

“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.”

“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!”
