Meet Peyton Sutton — Your Sports Performance Therapist
Peyton Sutton gets it because she's lived it. As a former athlete who competed in a predominantly white sport, she knows what it's like to be "the only one" while trying to perform at your best. You don't have to explain the pressure—she already understands.
Her approach? Direct, collaborative, and grounded in real talk. No sugar-coating. No generic advice. Some days you need practical strategies to manage pre-game anxiety. Other times, you'll dig deeper into perfectionism, identity beyond sports, or what it means to find your voice when everyone expects you to stay quiet and perform.
Peyton works with high school athletes, college competitors, pros navigating transitions, and coaches dealing with burnout. Sessions happen wherever you feel most comfortable—in the office, walking and talking, or on-site at your court, field, or gym. Tired of people telling you to "just think positive"? Yeah, her too. Let's try something that actually works.
