FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There is significant overlap in the scope of work, and the choice between performance psychology and mental health counseling is contingent on the client's specific needs. Some key distinctions include: Mental Health Counseling: Clients undergo a formal mental health diagnosis and concentrate on alleviating mental health symptoms and concerns. The client must be situated in the same state as the practicing clinician. I am currently credentialed with Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Cigna and Evernorth, Oscar Health, Oxford, and United Healthcare Performance Psychology: Clients typically do not receive a formal mental health diagnosis and focus on areas such as motivation, goal setting, injury recovery, confidence, mental toughness, and other psychological skills. Clients can be located in any state, although insurance companies are unlikely to perceive the collaborative work as essential, making partial reimbursement for services improbable.
Our service costs are as follows: Initial Consultation - Free, Individual Performance Session - $200, Individual Psychotherapy Session - $200, Team Performance Session - $325, Athletic Mindset Assessment - $105, and Mental Performance Workshops - $1000.
