Our Services

Explore How We Offer Services

  • Individual Sessions

    Our Individual sessions are personalized one-on-one meetings between the client and the therapist or performance coach. These sessions provide a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, actions and challenges. Whether it's addressing specific issues, managing stress, life transitions, or working towards personal growth, our individual work allows for focused attention and tailored support.

  • Group Sessions

    Our group sessions combine the power of community support with expert guidance. Whether you're part of a team, a company, an academic cohort, or a special interest group, these sessions foster support, growth and connection. Group sessions fall under the format of Clinical Processes Groups, Art Therapy, Psych Education, Group Mentorship, Team Building, or Open Studio.

  • Walk & Talk + Run & Talk Therapy Sessions

    When we feel stuck, it is not just in our minds but what it is we are stuck with or from lives also in the body. Movement allows our bodies the chance to gather up what is stuck, emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually- and release it. Our walk-and-talk & run-and- talk sessions lean into the long trusted practice or bilateral movement to promote healing in order to finally feel free from what once held you back.

  • Workshops

    Would you like to have us come in to deliver hands on experiential work with your company, sports team or school? Great, us too! Let’s work together to make your ideas and vision come to life.

  • Presentation ~ Speaking Engagement

    Would you like to have us present or attend as a guest speaker at your conference, summit, symposium, class lecture, webinar, CEU event, athletic parent meeting, group panel or podcast? We thought you’d never ask- we’d love to!

People need people. Life is easier together.

  • Matt Halperin, MS, CMPC Candidate

    Hi, I’m Matt. I am a Mental Performance Coach who has a passion for assisting athletes in optimizing their performances. I work intimately with these athletes to help them overcome the adversity that they may face within their sport. Drawing on my experiences as a collegiate athlete and my dynamic training experience, I have the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to achieve peak performance. As a result of our work together athletes feel more comfortable competing under pressure, feel more confident in themselves and their abilities, develop more self-awareness, and feel more love and enjoyment for their sport. I firmly believe that each person is more than just an athlete, they are a person first, and I strive to honor that belief in every interaction that I have with my clients.

  • Danielle Beardsley, LCPC, CADC, ATR, CMPC

    Hi, I’m Danielle, and I’m glad you’re here! I am a Clinical Art Therapist, Addictions Counselor, Mental Performance Coach & Founder of Center for Creative Growth. I practice in the spirit of reminding clients they are in control of their own lives and that we will support them in problem solving through trial and error (aka: learning). And that, that could be okay. I believe people need people. I allow and encourage clients to be free to explore their lives from within a non-judgmental relationship. I come close to clients' metaphorical smoke & fire, kneel beside them and allow them to feel and know we are in this together and there is indeed a solution to the problem. I am here to remind you that you will find a way to safely make it out of the smoke & fire of what life is giving you right now.

  • Carson Fields, MA, CMPC

    Hello, I’m Carson. I obtained my Masters in Sport & Exercise Psychology. I am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) from The Association of Applied Sport Psychology. I provide Academic Success Coaching to assist clients in executive functioning skill building to improve focus, task initiation, task completion, study skills and organization. I work closely with performers to unlock their true potential. I utilize my own athletic experience and psychology background to provide mental skills training. Through meaningful conversations and exercises, clients learn to align who they want to be with what they are doing. I support and guide individuals and teams to be the best they can be. We are what we think. We all have a mind, so it's important we take the time to understand and utilize our thoughts to work for us not against us.
