MISSION

Sport Psych MD helps sports organizations, teams, and athletes embrace a Mental Health Mindset to elevate both performance and well-being. 


This science-backed framework integrates proactive prevention with effective intervention strategies. We empower the sporting community through:


  • Digital Resources: Free evidence-based information designed to improve coaching, resilience, athlete retention, and motivation. 
  • Educational Seminars: Specialized training on the Mental Health Mindset, available virtually or in-person (Western Washington).


WHY SPORTS MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS

Recent data from the National Alliance for Youth Sports shows that by age 13, 70% of youth athletes drop out of sports due to pressure, fear of injury, or a loss of enjoyment. Even at the elite level, the psychological toll of competition is significant. 


While organizations like the International Olympic Committee, NCAA, and US Center for SafeSport have established vital safety initiatives, policies, and trainings  to guide positive change, gaps remains in our day-to-day cultural awareness of Sports Mental Health.


Sport Psych MD fills that gap by providing athletes, coaches, and parents (especially in youth sports programs) with education, prevention strategies, and tools for recognizing mental health issues and assisting individuals. With the right knowledge and tools, building a foundation of lasting resilience is well within reach.

ABOUT DR. BRITT

Dr. Britt Gonsoulin, MD, MPH, is a physician with training in psychiatry, public health/preventive medicine, and exercise & sports sciences.


Prior to becoming a physician, Dr. Britt spent years devoted to competitive athletics as a multi-sport athlete (basketball, track & field, fastpitch, & volleyball).  She played NCAA Division I Women's Basketball at Tulane University while earning a Bachelors Degree in Exercise & Sports Sciences. Her collegiate teams ranked in the Top 25 nationally and finished four seasons with a combined 93-36 record, Two Conference USA Regular Season and Championship Titles, and Four NCAA tournament appearances.


These experiences introduced Dr. Britt to the typical challenges that athletes face mentally and physically at every stage of their careers. She took that knowledge to medical and public health school, where she completed a combined MD/MPH degree, specializing in both Medicine and Public Health. 


During her Internship and Residency at the University of Washington, Dr. Britt learned to manage complex medical and psychological concerns, including those experienced by athletes: ADHD, anxiety disorders, concussions, depression, eating related challenges, substance use, and injury-related mood/anxiety conditions. She completed advanced training with the Center for Mind Body Medicine and achieved board certification in Integrative Medicine (ABIHM) before entering private practice in 2014.


Dr. Britt coaches high school basketball, is SafeSport trained by the US Center for Safe Sport , and a is member of the International Society of Sports Psychiatry.
