Texas only · online statewide · insurance or self-pay
Therapists who know what a season does to your head.
Performance pressure, injury, the transfer portal, life after the last game — with a Texas-licensed therapist who's worked with athletes or been one. Completely confidential: coaches, trainers, and athletic departments never see your care.
- Therapists with athletic backgrounds or sport-psychology training
- Openings that fit training schedules — early mornings, Sundays, off-days
- Confidential from your team, your school, and your league — always
Real openings, shown liveHow do athletes in Texas find a sports-fluent therapist?
On Tenda, athletes — high school, college, or professional — enter a ZIP code and see Texas-licensed therapists who work with athletes as a genuine specialty, with live availability including early-morning and off-day openings. Care is confidential under HIPAA: coaches, athletic departments, and teams have no access. Sessions run through insurance (typical copay $30–70) or flat self-pay ($120–150), with the price shown before booking.
What we help with
What athletes actually bring to therapy
It's rarely just the sport. It's what the sport is attached to — identity, scholarship, family, a future — and what happens to your head when any of those wobble.
Performance anxiety & pressure
The yips, pre-game dread, choking in moments you've trained for. Sport-fluent therapy treats the anxiety without treating your ambition as the problem.
Injury & recovery
An injured athlete loses their sport, routine, team, and identity in one afternoon. The mental rehab deserves the same seriousness as the physical one.
Identity beyond the sport
Who are you when the season ends — by graduation, cut, or choice? The athletes who navigate that best usually had somewhere to talk about it first.
Burnout & overtraining
When the sport you love starts feeling like a job you hate, that's data. Therapy helps you find the line between grind and self-erasure.
Body image & eating
Weight classes, aesthetic sports, and training culture can push eating and body image into dangerous territory. Early support changes outcomes.
The transfer portal & big decisions
NIL, transfers, going pro, walking away — high-stakes choices at 19 with everyone watching. A confidential third party with no agenda helps.
Why Tenda
Why athletes pick Tenda
Sport-fluent by design
You won't spend three sessions explaining what a two-a-day is. Therapists shown to you work with athletes deliberately — many played at high levels themselves.
Confidentiality you can verify
Your care is protected health information under HIPAA. No coach, trainer, athletic department, or league has access — and paying self-pay keeps even insurance statements out of the picture.
Scheduling that respects training
5:30 AM before lift. Sunday after film. Off-day afternoons. Online from wherever the season takes you in Texas.
One profile, your whole career
High school to college to whatever comes next — your therapist and your history travel with you, statewide.
How it works
Three steps. About five minutes.
Tell us your situation
ZIP, coverage, your sport and level if you want — and what's actually going on.
Pick from real openings
Sport-fluent, Texas-licensed therapists with live calendars that show early, late, and off-day slots.
Meet by video
From home, the road, or anywhere in Texas. Most athletes have a first session within the week.
