Athletics-Informed

Counseling for Athletes in The Woodlands, Houston, and Across Texas

At Guyton Counseling Services (GCS), our Athletics-Informed lens reflects how we connect with athletes on a deeper level in-person in The Woodlands and Houston, and virtually throughout Texas. Drawing from personal and professional experience, Nate Guyton understands the mental, emotional, and physical pressures unique to athletes, and he provides care that recognizes the challenges athletes face, both on and off the field.

Nate works with high school athletes, college athletes, professionals, retired athletes, and workout enthusiasts. Whether it’s managing performance pressures, recovering from injury, or transitioning to life after sports, GCS is here to help you navigate these experiences with clarity and resilience.

Common Topics Athletes Bring to Counseling

  • Sports Injury

    When athletics is an important part of your journey, an injury can be devastating. Sharpen your mental game and explore new ways of connecting to your sport.

  • Off-Field Issues

    When you face a challenge off the field, it affects your game. GCS is here to support you and get you back to playing your best.

  • Solution-Focused Sports Peformance

    Picture yourself succeeding in your sport and recognize your best hopes from competing through solution-focused dialogues about where athletics will take you.

  • Team Dynamics

    Sports are full of relationships... explore how these relationships influence you and how you influence them.
