Brynne
Goldberg MA | LPC | CMPCC
Licensed Therapist
Owner & Founder of Peak Pursuits Mental Health Care
Brynne is among the first to integrate principles of sport psychology with insight-oriented psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy, alongside evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Her comprehensive approach treats the whole person—not just the performer—and addresses challenges across all areas of life. Brynne blends psychological depth with structured therapeutic interventions and mental training exercises to uncover why clients struggle, not merely how to cope, while helping them create lasting change in their thought processes, emotional intelligence, and behavior.
​
Drawing from her athletic background, personal challenges, and eight years of clinical experience—five of which have focused on elite athletes competing at Olympic, national, and international levels, as well as high-achievers at the height of their careers—Brynne brings a rare combination of insight and experience to her work. Her deep understanding of the human psyche and natural perceptiveness allow her to hear what isn’t said and see what isn’t shown. This intuition, combined with her distinctive approach, sets her apart from traditional talk therapy.
​
Through a process she calls “psyche mapping,” Brynne guides clients in a structured self-assessment—examining their life and experiences as if they were their own research subject. This process helps bridge gaps in self-understanding by identifying patterns that reveal the why behind thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She believes this insight is the foundation for meaningful, lasting change—reducing anxiety and depression, strengthening relationships with oneself and others, and fostering the ability to perform with greater authenticity and consistency, whether on the field, on the slopes, or in the boardroom. Because a career isn’t always just a job—it’s a reflection of who you are. And sport isn’t just a hobby—it’s an identity.
My passion for helping people is rooted in my personal journey as both an athlete & someone who has struggled with anxiety.
I've been involved in various sports throughout my entire life, & although I no longer compete, I will always identify as an athlete. When I was younger, I didn't understand that my struggles, personally & athletically, stemmed from anxiety or why. Living in Colorado, immersed in athletically driven communities, brought to the forefront the prevalence of the challenges I had experienced. As a master's student studying clinical mental health therapy, I realized that athletes should be recognized in the mental health field as a distinct group with their own unique challenges, worthy of specialization. It was this realization that compelled me to make it my life's mission to help individuals gain a better understanding of their anxiety & learn how to do more than just cope, raise awareness about mental health issues in the athlete community, & guide people in uncovering their "why."

Hi Brynne, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
​
" I am hopeful that I can directly impact my community since my business and I am one and the same. My professional goals are also my personal goals. Destigmatization and awareness of mental health and mental health care are not only a part of my business mission; they are a part of my personal mission as well. I want to do more than solely provide talk therapy. I’m bursting with ideas, passion, drive, and motivation, and I’m confident in my stamina. I feel this fire burning inside me will not go out until I am sure the changes I want for the world are visible and palpable. To put it simply, I want a trip to the therapist to be as conventional as a trip to the dentist."
