Performance starts within.
Blackwell Mental Performance was founded by Katherine Blackwell, LMFT, out of a genuine passion for helping others move beyond their challenges and reach their full potential.
Since 2014, Katherine has worked with active-duty military personnel, an experience that inspired her to pursue sport psychology and expand her work with high performers and individuals in high-risk occupations. Her own experiences with sports injuries further shaped her understanding of the physical and psychological challenges that can affect performance.
As a USMC spouse, athlete and business owner, Katherine understands the pressures these lifestyles create, including the stigma that can come with asking for help.
Beyond Symptom Relief. Toward Optimal Performance.
Katherine’s approach goes beyond reducing symptoms. She focuses on identifying underlying challenges, strengthening the mind-body connection and helping individuals create meaningful, lasting change.
Through her clinical work and Mental Performance Training program, Katherine brings together psychological insight, practical strategies and a solution-focused approach to help individuals navigate challenges, build mental skills and work toward optimal performance.
Her style is straightforward, collaborative and active. She believes meaningful progress requires commitment, personal responsibility and a willingness to do the work.
