ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL
LAURIE MILLER
Pre-licensed Therapist & Mental Performance Coach
As a former gymnast, tennis player, and current gymnastics coach, I understand firsthand the mental challenges athletes face. With my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Athletic Counseling from Springfield College, I bring both personal experience and professional expertise to our work together.
I work with youth and adolescents from all backgrounds and sports. I am passionate about working with young, individual, aesthetic sport athletes, such as gymnasts, for both mental health therapy and performance coaching. My therapeutic style is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles with a person-centered approach.
As an pre-licensed therapist at Skadi Sport Psychology, I offer services at a reduced rate. All of my work is supervised by Dr. Ayala, ensuring you receive high-quality, professional support on your athletic journey.
Talento sincerely thanks Skadi Sport Psychology, Dr. Erin Ayala and Laurie Miller for generously contributing their time, knowledge, and expertise to support youth athlete development through this initiative.
