about: Consulting
Practical guidance for coaches and organizations supporting athletes through the demands of sport.
Brynne Goldberg, LPC, works with coaches, teams, clubs, camps, and sports organizations to better understand what athletes are experiencing and strengthen the support available to them.
Drawing on her experience as a licensed therapist specializing in athlete mental health and performance, Brynne helps your staff decide how to respond to concerns and build practices that support athlete well-being throughout the season.
Ways to Work Together
-
Coach & Staff Consultation — Individual or group sessions to work through concerns such as changes in an athlete’s behavior, difficult conversations, or uncertainty about when to refer an athlete for additional support.
​
-
Workshops & Education — A single workshop or a series tailored to your group. Topics can include recognizing burnout, responding to performance pressure, supporting injured athletes, and communicating about mental health.
​
-
Program Development — Review the support your program already provides, identify gaps, and develop practical recommendations. This might mean creating a clear referral process or defining who follows up when a concern is raised.
​
-
Ongoing & On-Site Support — Follow-up consultation or on-site collaboration to help staff put recommendations into practice and adjust them as the season progresses.
how consulting works
-
Assess program needs — Brynne meets with you to understand your team culture, current resources, and what prompted you to reach out. You might have a specific concern, such as helping coaches respond when an injured athlete withdraws from the team, or a broader goal, such as making it easier for athletes to ask for help.
​
-
Outline scope of work —Together, you’ll decide who should be involved, what would be most useful, and how the work fits your schedule. That might be a preseason workshop, a series of staff consultations, or a review of your athlete support practices.
​
-
Implementation — Depending on the project, Brynne can deliver the agreed services, help staff implement recommendations, and meet with you to review what’s working and where further support would help.
How Consulting Fits Alongside Coaching & Therapy
Consulting focuses on the people and practices that shape an athlete’s experience. A consulting engagement might help coaches respond to a pattern of burnout across a team. Performance coaching helps an athlete or group develop and practice mental skills for specific performance goals. Individual therapy provides clinical care for an athlete’s mental health in sport and everyday life.
Start With a Conversation
Tell Brynne a little about your team or organization, what you’re noticing, and what you’d like to improve. An introductory consultation is a chance to discuss your priorities, format, timing, and fees.
