Therapy for Runners | Telehealth in NY, CT, IL & MA

I provide telehealth psychotherapy for runners in New York, Connecticut, Illinois, and Massachusetts, supporting adult runners who want to improve their mental health, foster a healthy relationship with running, and increase overall happiness and life satisfaction.

Many runners I have worked with initially seek therapy for disordered eating and body image concerns. As therapy progresses, a shared desire often becomes clear: they don’t want to quit running—they want to regain their love of running in a way that feels balanced, sustainable, and supportive of their physical and mental well-being.

Through this work, I developed a focused specialty in providing therapy for runners, particularly those who are high-achieving, perfectionistic, and accustomed to pushing themselves hard both in training and in life.

Mental health support for runners often includes:

  • Anxiety management, including training, performance, and race-related stress

  • Perfectionism and high achievement patterns common among endurance athletes

  • Burnout and loss of enjoyment

  • Identity concerns tied to results, or productivity

  • Rebuilding trust

  • Strengthing the relationship between running, food, and body image

  • Increasing overall happiness, fulfillment, and life satisfaction

My approach integrates evidence-based psychotherapy with an understanding of the psychological demands unique to runners. This is not solely sports psychology focused on performance outcomes—it is therapy that supports the whole person, both on and off the run.

All sessions are offered via secure telehealth, allowing runners in New York, Connecticut, Illinois, and Massachusettsto access specialized mental health care without the constraints of commuting or geographic location. Teletherapy is especially well-suited for runners balancing training schedules, work demands, and family life.

Whether you are:

  • Returning to running after burnout, injury, or disordered eating

  • Struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, or rigid training expectations

  • Feeling disconnected from the joy that once came from running

  • Or seeking greater balance, calm, and fulfillment in both running and life

telehealth therapy for runners can help.

You don’t have to choose between being driven and being well.
With the right support, you can cultivate a relationship with running—and with yourself—that feels flexible, sustainable, and meaningful.
