“Before working with Dr. Mitchell, I believed I just needed to be mentally stronger to get through the problems I was dealing with. As an athlete, I thought I should be able to work through my fears and stress on my own. When I started working with Dr. Mitchell, I was skeptical about the benefits that a sport psychologist could offer. It took a couple of sessions for me to begin to open up, but after I did, I was able to recognize the immense amount of support and guidance I was receiving. After working together for around two years, I am grateful for all the guidance and help she has provided to me, whether through the Olympics, world championships, university, or racing/living in Europe. I look forward to continuing to work together!”

“I’ve worked with Sara for around 7 years. In that time, I have grown as an athlete and as a person and experienced a multitude of ups and downs along the way. I’d been challenged by sport, by life, and sometimes a combination of both. Sara has been a huge part of my ability to navigate all of it. She has approached working with me very holistically, understanding that when everything between my ears is in a good place, I can perform at my best on my bike. She has helped me learn to develop and trust my own process. I’m naturally very averse to confrontation but she has helped me understand how to advocate for myself, when necessary, to have the confidence to have the hard conversations that were preventing me from tapping into my potential. It’s evident that Sara processes all the education which is appropriate for a psychologist, but like an artist drawing from multiple senses she understands how to combine her training and experience with intuition and grace to create an inviting environment of trust. Her guidance and devotion to my well-being will never be forgotten.”

“I wouldn’t be the athlete - and woman - I am today without Sara’s help. I have worked with Sara for several years now and have grown in both my mental fortitude snd athletically each year, continuing to learn new things about myself that has helped me continue to reach new levels, all of which has also consciously and subconsciously made me stronger physically. But Sara’s help isn’t just in the realm of sport psychology. She has helped me grow and reach new levels outside of sport, bettering my overall quality of life and level of joy in experiencing it.”

“Working with Dr. Mitchell has helped me unlock mental skillsets I didn’t know I had, enabling me to build resilience, process disappointment, and develop healthy habits in sport and in daily life.”

“Working with Dr. Mitchell has changed not only my ability to perform under pressure and stress but also my outlook on sport as a whole and how it fits into the other elements of my life. I am a more well-rounded individual and am able to grow and take pleasure in all the ups and downs that come with being a high-performing professional athlete.”

“Dr. Mitchell has helped me understand my emotions and given me balance in what has felt like turbulence. Our sessions have helped me perform at the highest level, soothe personal relationships, and confront daunting anxieties. Her guidance has made me a more focused athlete and a better human.”
