Mental Performance Coaching & Sports Psychology Services in Edmond & Oklahoma City

Every athlete reaches a point where the mental game matters as much as the physical one — a slump that won't lift, a return from injury that feels harder than the rehab itself, a big moment that suddenly feels too big. At Journey Counseling Center, we help athletes throughout Edmond, Oklahoma City, and the surrounding metro build the mental skills that turn preparation into performance.

​

Our sports psychology services are led by Madeline Roseke, LPC, EdD, who holds a doctorate in sport and performance psychology and works with athletes at every level — youth, high school, collegiate, and adult competitors — both in person at our Edmond office and via teletherapy anywhere in Oklahoma.

​

A Doctorate Built Specifically for Athletes

Madeline's doctoral training focused on the psychology of sport and performance — the mental skills, mindset patterns, and pressure-response habits that separate an athlete who freezes under pressure from one who rises to meet it. She brings that specialized training into a therapeutic setting, blending clinical counseling with performance-focused mental skills work.

​

That combination matters. A coach can help an athlete drill technique. A sport psychology consultant can help an athlete train focus, confidence, and composure. But when performance struggles are tangled up with anxiety, perfectionism, identity, or burnout — which they often are — having someone trained in both the mental performance side and clinical mental health makes the difference between a quick fix and a lasting one.

​

Who We Help

Our mental performance coaching and sport and performance psychology services are a fit for:

• Youth and high school athletes navigating performance anxiety, comparison, or pressure from parents, coaches, or themselves

• College and competitive athletes working through slumps, transfer portal stress, or the mental toll of a long season

• Athletes returning from injury who feel mentally stuck even after they're physically cleared to play

• Former or transitioning athletes adjusting to life after competitive sport ends

• Parents of young athletes looking for guidance on how to support their child's mental game without adding pressure

​

What We Work On

Sessions are built around the athlete's specific goals, but common areas of focus include:

• Performance anxiety and pre-competition nerves

• Confidence and self-talk

• Focus and mental routines

• Recovering mentally after injury or a setback

• Perfectionism and fear of failure

• Burnout from year-round training or overscheduling

• Identity and self-esteem beyond the scoreboard

• Life transitions, including retiring from a sport

​

Many of these overlap with challenges we treat clinically every day. An athlete gripped by perfectionism or worn down by burnout often needs more than a mental skills tune-up, and a season-ending injury can shake an athlete's sense of self as much as it does their body. Because Madeline is also a Licensed Professional Counselor, sessions can move fluidly between mental performance skills and deeper clinical support when anxiety or everyday stress is part of the picture, and she can help athletes navigate bigger life transitions like stepping away from a sport altogether — something a coaching-only model isn't equipped to address.
