Athlete Mental Health

Supporting the Person
Behind the Performance.

Inspire U helps athletes navigate mental health, identity, transitions, and emotional wellbeing.

Devon Lewis-Buchanan

Owner & Managing Partner | Lead Clinician

Bridging my experience as a licensed clinical social worker and former professional football player, I founded Inspire U to support the person behind the performance. As the first social worker hired full-time by an NFL club to support former players through transition, I have built a unique career helping competitors, professionals, and high-performing individuals navigate the mental and emotional demands of stress, success, identity, and life transitions.

I understand the pressure to compete, meet expectations, and manage life beyond the role, title, or arena. My work has reinforced my belief that mental health support should care for the whole person, not just what they are known for, expected to produce, or praised for accomplishing. I help clients process stress, identity, anxiety, trauma, transition, and the emotional challenges that can come with achievement.

Through Inspire U, I provide a supportive, culturally responsive space for individuals at every stage of their journey to better understand themselves, build emotional tools, and reconnect with who they are beyond what they do, produce, or accomplish.
