High performers don’t need fixing—they need focus, clarity, and a space to breathe.

aaron Petrie LPC MHSP founder of Advanced Mental Performance

You’ve pushed your limits, but now it’s time to focus on your mental well-being.

As a high performer—whether an athlete, entrepreneur, or creative—you’ve already achieved a great deal. But true growth comes from taking care of the mind behind the talent. At a certain point, physical strength, skill, or knowledge alone won’t carry you forward. The difference between thriving and burning out is how you nurture and support your mental health.

Helping High Achievers Unlock Their Full Potential

I work with athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals who understand the pressure of constantly striving for excellence. Whether you're facing performance anxiety, burnout, mental fatigue, or self-doubt, I help you break through mental barriers and build a foundation of resilience.

Through a combination of trauma-informed therapy, sports psychology, and mindset coaching, we’ll work together to strengthen your mental health, refine your focus, and develop the tools you need to thrive—on and off the field, in your career, and in your life.

My Journey to Sports Performance Counseling

My passion for supporting high performers goes beyond just optimizing performance—it’s about nurturing the whole person. As an athlete, coach, and therapist, I’ve experienced firsthand the mental challenges that come with striving for excellence. Whether it’s overcoming injury, navigating burnout, managing performance anxiety, or dealing with self-doubt, I know how these struggles can impact both your mental health and your performance.

I’ve had the privilege of working with athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are ready to break through mental barriers and prioritize their mental well-being. My approach combines trauma-informed therapy, sports psychology, mindfulness, and evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that addresses your mental health, builds resilience, and enhances your performance, so you can thrive—both in your career and in life.
