Because You’re

More Than Your Performance

You’ve spent years grinding, training, competing, and pushing your body to the limit. But no one teaches you how to handle the mental side of the game. Anxiety, identity struggles, injuries, or just feeling “stuck” on and off the field can throw everything off, including your focus, your confidence, your relationships, and even your day-to-day life. 

At Carolina Counseling for Athletes, we specialize in supporting athletes—current and retired—who are navigating pressure, expectations, identity, and self-doubt. We understand the unique mental and emotional demands of sport and the toll they can take on performance, confidence, and overall well-being.

Our approach is relational, practical, and grounded in the belief that you already have what it takes. Together, we address what’s slowing you down, strengthen your mental game, and build skills that support growth, resilience, and well-being on and off the field.

Being an athlete isn’t easy, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Therapy Services for Athletes

Specialized mental health and performance support for athletes in South Carolina.

Welcome to Carolina Counseling for Athletes

I'm Megan Cannon.

Carolina Counseling for Athletes was created for you—the athlete.

I started Carolina Counseling for Athletes after years of working with athletes who looked fine on the outside but felt overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. I saw how often mental health and performance were treated as separate things, when in reality they’re deeply connected.

At Carolina Counseling for Athletes, we treat the whole athlete. That means we talk about what’s happening in your sport and in your life—because both matter.  We pride ourselves on offering versatile clinical care with warmth, energy and  the ability to connect with clients authentically. 

So whether you are here for yourself, or someone you love,  we would love to join your team. We are ready when you are.
