MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY FOR ATHLETES
Athletes face pressure that most people do not fully understand. The weight of expectations, the fear of letting a team down, the identity wrapped up in every performance. Mental health therapy for athletes takes all of that seriously.
— BUILT FOR ATHLETES
Therapy Built Around the Athlete's Experience
Standard therapy can be helpful, but it does not always speak the language of sport. Dr. Ayodeji is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is also a former athlete and longtime coach. That means he understands what it is like to show up to a game after a rough week, to feel the pressure of a slump, or to push through when the team needs you.
Sessions are not one-size-fits-all. Some athletes need to sit and talk. Others need to be moving. Dr. Ayodeji adjusts to the person, not the other way around.

What We Work On
Mental health therapy for athletes at Revelation covers a range of challenges:
Anxiety before, during, or after competition
Depression tied to performance, identity, or burnout
Adjusting to life after an injury or during recovery
Experiencing the pressure of being a student athlete
Mental blocks and inconsistent performance
Managing expectations from coaches, parents, and teammates
— WHO THIS IS FOR
WHO THIS IS FOR
Dr. Ayodeji works with athletes from 3rd grade through college age, including:
High school athletes (most of his clients)
Middle school students
College-level athletes
Individual sport athletes, including those who play tennis, swim, run track, or dive, are especially welcome here. These athletes carry the weight of the game entirely on their own, without a teammate to lean on when things get hard. That is a different kind of pressure, and the approach reflects it.

Sessions can be done in person at the West Hartford office (361 Park Road) or virtually anywhere in Connecticut. Dr. Ayodeji is paneled with Husky, Anthem, Cigna, and United Healthcare, which means many athletes can access therapy without paying entirely out of pocket.
