Ricki Walker
Psychologist, Sport Psychologist
I view my purpose in our work as providing insight and perspective, responding compassionately to concerns, and integrating a sense of humor.
I am a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping individuals, athletes, business professionals, and teams build resilience, insight, and long-term coping strategies. My approach to therapy combines clinical expertise with compassion, perspective, and a sense of humor. I work collaboratively with clients to not only resolve current challenges but also to develop the skills needed to manage stress and thrive in the future. As a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), I specialize in working with athletes, performers, and professionals on mental skills training, leadership development, motivation, and character growth. I am passionate about helping high performers strengthen focus, confidence, and resilience in both competitive and professional environments. Contact me today to schedule a consultation and learn how therapy or performance coaching can help you achieve greater balance, resilience, and success in your personal, athletic, or professional life.
