Meaningful change. Purposeful progress.
At Treadwell Counseling and Performance, I provide evidence-based mental health counseling for adolescents, college students, student-athletes, and adults navigating OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, and other challenges.

Two paths, one thoughtful approach
Counseling and mental performance services
Mental health counseling and mental performance coaching can address overlapping concerns, but they serve different purposes. We can explore which approach best fits your goals and needs.
Mental Health Counseling
Individualized therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, perfectionism, depression, and related concerns. I use approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and inference-based CBT (I-CBT).
For: Adolescents, young adults, college students, athletes, and adults.
Learn about counseling →Mental Performance Coaching
Practical mental skills for athletes, teams, and high performers. Coaching may focus on confidence, attention, motivation, performance routines, self-talk, recovering from mistakes, and navigating performance pressure.
For: Competitive athletes, student-athletes, coaches, and other high-performing individuals.

Help with OCD, anxiety, and perfectionism
Whether you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, uncertainty, avoidance, overwhelming expectations, or constant self-criticism, therapy can help you build flexibility and move toward the life you want.
OCD & related disorders
Specialized care for OCD, including intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, and patterns that keep people stuck. Treatment may include ERP and I-CBT.
OCD treatment approach →Anxiety
Support for generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic-related concerns, phobias, and avoidance, with evidence-based strategies tailored to your experience.
Anxiety counseling →Perfectionism
Work on all-or-nothing thinking, fear of mistakes, excessive self-criticism, procrastination, and the pressure to meet impossible standards—at school, at work, or in sport.
Ask about working on perfectionism →For athletes and high performers
Support for the person behind the performance
Competitive athletics can bring extraordinary opportunities—and real pressure. Student-athletes may be balancing academics, training, relationships, injury, identity, and expectations to excel.
As a former Dartmouth varsity ice hockey player and experienced collegiate coach, I understand the athletic environment firsthand. My work draws on that experience alongside clinical training and evidence-based approaches.
Concerns we can address
- Performance anxiety and pressure
- Perfectionism and fear of failure
- Confidence and self-talk
- Focus and emotional regulation
- Burnout and loss of motivation
- Injury-related stress and changes in athletic identity
- Balancing sport, school, and well-being
Mental performance coaching is not a substitute for psychotherapy when treatment of a mental health condition is needed.

Common questions
Getting started
Do you work with people who aren’t athletes?
Absolutely. I work with adolescents and adults from many backgrounds, including people seeking specialized treatment for OCD, anxiety, and perfectionism.
Is mental performance coaching the same as therapy?
No. Therapy addresses mental health concerns through clinical assessment and treatment. Mental performance coaching focuses on developing skills for performance and other personally meaningful goals.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. Availability and eligibility depend on the service and your location. For psychotherapy, you must be in a location where I am authorized to provide care.
Where is your office?
My office is in downtown Hanover, New Hampshire, within walking distance of Dartmouth College at 12 South Street. I can also serve clients in the Upper Valley and beyond through eligible virtual services.
