Sports Counseling, Eating Disorder, and Anxiety Therapy
Specialized counseling for athletes and high achievers struggling with disordered eating, performance anxiety, and trauma in Houston and throughout Texas.
Meet Yamilet Molina, LPC
Hi, I'm Yamilet.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of YM Counseling Services. I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, sports performance challenges, and trauma.
Many of the people I work with are ambitious, independent, and used to pushing through difficult things. From the outside, they may appear successful. Internally, however, they may be struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, food, body image, exercise, or the pressure to constantly perform.
My goal isn't simply to help you perform better or cope better. It's to help you create a life where your worth isn't dependent on your appearance, achievements, or ability to keep pushing forward.
From Former D1 Athlete to Mental Health Therapist.
As a former Division I athlete and current endurance athlete, I understand the unique pressures and struggles associated with an athletic career at many levels. My passion for working with athletes and active populations stems from the hardships, difficulties and mental health challenges I faced while being a competitive dancer.
I am also a proud first-generation Latina therapist from Houston, and I take pride in my work to create a space where all feel welcome. I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities who are committed to their healing journey and therapy process.
Who I Work Best With:
You may be a good fit for my practice if you're someone who:
Appears successful on the outside but feels like you're struggling internally
Feels like you constantly need to improve or do more
Is tired of your thoughts about food, exercise, or your body taking up so much space
Feels pressure to perform in your sport, career, or other areas of life
Struggles with perfectionism or a harsh inner critic
Feels like your self-worth is connected to achievement, appearance, or performance
Wants therapy that addresses both the practical and deeper emotional patterns keeping you stuck

Sports performance therapy is designed to help athletes enhance their mental game, address challenges, and reach peak performance. As a sports performance therapist, I use sport and performance psychology techniques to work with athletes on issues like performance anxiety, mental resilience, and focus. Sports performance psychology can help athletes manage the pressures of competition, while sports counseling provides tools for handling the emotional aspects of the game. Performance anxiety treatment and therapy address the impact of anxiety on sports performance, enabling athletes to compete confidently and effectively. Whether you’re seeking a sports therapist for mental health support or an athlete therapist to fine-tune your mental approach, sports performance therapy is a valuable step toward achieving your goals on and off the field.
