Keri Kirk
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychologist, Sport Psychologist
I’m a licensed clinical and sport psychologist and former DI athlete specializing in peak performance and developing athlete wellness.
My clients call me, “Dr. KK,” and I look forward to meeting you. My path into sport psychology started as a Division I track and field athlete, looking for the kind of support that I have cultivated for athletes in my practice. I use an integrative, strengths-based, liberation psychology approach that is customized to what each athlete needs. I specialize in trauma, performance blocks, injury recovery/return to sport, anxiety/performance anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and sport transition/retirement. I enjoy helping athletes navigate towards the best version of who they know that they can be.
