Expert clinical support to help you thrive in athletic competition and everyday life
We hear it routinely from athletes we work with:
“I just don’t know who I am anymore.”
The trigger for those words may be a disappointing performance in competition, worries about returning to play after an injury, or being cut from the roster.
But the underlying cause is almost always the same:
They’re having a crisis of identity as an athlete.
"Return to joy even as the stakes of competition get higher"

Our Approach
At Confluence, we work with athletes to restore their sense of self as the foundation of reliable, consistent performance in their sport.
Our approach combines the clinical expertise of a licensed professional with the real-world experience and empathy of an athlete and coach. We help our clients to:
Strengthen their core identity as an athlete
Build, repair and deepen sport-related relationships
Reconnect with the spirit of play, so sport feels joyous again
The result is a stronger sense of self, a secure and resilient support system, and enhanced athletic performance consistently, even when setbacks occur.
We also help parents learn how to guide and support their student-athletes as they navigate athletics, academics and life.
Athletes perform best when they know who they are, they feel supported, and their sport feels fun.
