My passion for sports & athletics drove me towards private practice to reach as many athletes as I could. I developed a training program for athletes, coaches, and organizations to strengthen Mental Sports Performance and Recovery Program (SP+R). While my passion is working with athletes, I work with all ages and needs. Riser+Tread has one mission, to help young guys by providing helpful information online for free, as well as offering paid services such as one-on-one coaching/therapy, mental fitness groups, and even camps that combine physical and mental fitness.Why? There are a lot of guys struggling, mostly in silence. Stoicism and stubbornness are inherently male traits. Our culture has come a long way with reducing the mental health stigma, but there is still a ways to go, especially with guys. We believe that young guys desperately look online for direction and advice on how to feel better, often looking in the wrong places. We want to be the right place for them to look. We believe that young guys are most receptive to learning about mental health when they connect with someone they trust, when they are active, and when they are amongst their peers. We want to provide that trust/connection, active learning environment, and healthy group dynamic.For all young guys, we hope to be a trusted resource in a variety of ways. We hope if you are reading this, you might be willing to spread the word, and if you or any young guys you know (or their parents) have any questions, reach out to us! We get back to everyone within 24 hours, guaranteed.Jon Cunha, LMHCjon@riserandtread.com
