Sports-focused Social Workers Sollita Lucero and Jessica Joiner talk with Lexi Miller about common obstacles that athletes face in their mental wellness. The discussion dives into perfectionism, comparison, and societal pressure.

Jessica Joiner LCSW, LAC, SAP, EMDR Trained: Jessica has over a decade of experience working with those afflicted with addiction, complex trauma, and co-occurring disorders. She is using that experience and her expertise to address the many issues that arise for athletes.

She is a member of the Alliance of Social Workers in Sports and has been a presenter at their last two National Conferences. She is a Co-chair of the Clinicians Committee and is a member of the Pro Sports Committee. In addition, Jessica is an approved and listed provider on the Mental Health Registries for both the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC).

She has a holistic approach that includes a social justice, systems, and advocacy perspective.
