Hey there,
I'm JaMeshia Sykes, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Mental Performance Coach. My unique approach to mental wellness blends my passion for sports with my expertise in psychology and the mental aspects of performance.
I have a graduate degree in Professional Counseling from Ottawa University and I have been a practicing Mental Health Therapist for 9+ years (wow!). What I enjoy about this line of work is witnessing my clients transform into better versions of themselves.
Outside of sessions, I enjoy watching sports, moving my body, game nights, karaoke and spending time with my children, family, and friends!
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a session? What forms of payment do I accept?
Psychotherapy - $145 per session (sessions are 50-minutes).
Mental Performance Coaching - $145 per session (meetings are 50-minutes).
I accept all major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards. A valid credit card is securely kept on file and charged at the time of your appointment.
What age groups do you work with?
I work with pre-teens, teens, and adults. However, for children, their maturity level and willingness to participate are more important than their age. If you have any questions about your child's suitability, please contact me for a free consultation.
What are the hours and where will we meet?
My clients are typically busy with practice, school/work, and home responsibilities! To accommodate their schedules, sessions are available exclusively online through a secure platform, by appointment only. Appointments can be scheduled during both weekdays and weekends.
What is the difference between psychotherapy and mental performance coaching?
Psychotherapy focuses primarily on feeling better and relief from psychological pain (anxiety, low mood, high stress, grief, etc.). Mental Performance Coaching focuses on doing better and establishing effective behavior/routines that lead to peak performance. If you are unsure which is best for you, contact me.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not bill insurance. I work with self-paying clients and all payments are due at the time of service. I can provide you with an invoice/Superbill to receive reimbursement from your insurance company (therapy clients only).
I have other questions.
Free 15-minute consultations are available to answer additional questions and discuss your goals. You may request a consultation by completing the form on the contact page.
