Therapy for Athletes
Comprehensive support for athletes moving through pressure, performance, and life beyond sport.
Solstice provides athlete-informed mental health therapy for recreational, competitive, collegiate, and former athletes. Based in Asheville, NC, virtual therapy is available throughout North Carolina for athletes navigating performance pressure, injury, burnout, identity, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, transitions, or simply life alongside sport.
What Therapy Can Look Like in This Space:
You can hydrate, snack, or stretch while we talk—your body is part of the process, not something to ignore.
You don’t have to be “on”—there’s no coach here, no scouting report, no people to impress.
We can rewind and replay situations the same way you’d review film—slow it down, look at it from different angles, and decide what you want to do differently next time.
Tears, anger, laughter, exhaustion—it’s all allowed. Your emotional endurance matters just as much as your physical strength.
Sport can be part of the conversation without becoming the whole conversation. You're a person before you're an athlete, and therapy has room for everything happening outside of practices, games, meets, competitions, or performances too.

Why Athlete-Informed Therapy?
Maegan brings both clinical experience and a longstanding personal background in competitive athletics to this work. Athlete-informed therapy means understanding that sport can be a source of identity, structure, belonging, pressure, grief, confidence, conflict, and joy—and that mental health doesn't stop when you step onto the field or court.
