How the NBA is Continuing the Conversation Around Mental Health

Dr. Kensa Gunter: By training, I am a licensed psychologist and a Certified Mental Performance Consultant. I’m based in Atlanta, GA and through my private practice, I provide counseling and consultation services in the areas of mental health and mental performance to individuals, teams and organizations.

The earlier part of my career was spent working in college counseling centers. I enjoyed working with college students and that setting also allowed me an opportunity to work with athletes by connecting with the student-athlete community. From there, I branched off into the private sector, where I worked with a wide range of culturally diverse clients with a focus on providing services to athletes and those in the African American community.
