About Us

Naturally, results vary. Improved performance is directly correlated with how much an individual practices the tools and techniques. Those that commit to mental training simply get more benefit. Think of it like physical practice – the more the better. Below you can find some actual client testimonials and experiences.

All of our sessions are confidential. Your information is private and protected. We adhere to HIPAA compliance standards. If you want your coach, mentor, medical doctor, or other professional you work with to have access to information and receive recommendations from our consultants, you simply have to provide written authorization. Otherwise, everything ‘stays in the room.’

This can vary based on need. To notice a significant improvement, you will want to commit to six sessions and complete the recommended homework. In the beginning, a typical athlete or performing artist will work with a consultant weekly or biweekly. Frequency of sessions will often reduce as improvement and momentum are gained. You get to set the schedule.

Many clients work with Performance Insight over the full course of their sport or professional careers. They might not meet each week or every month. However, they often reach out for session(s) prior to a competitive event or when they notice a slump.

Working with a doctoral-level licensed clinical psychologist like Scott Dreyer, Psy.D., ACC, typically costs $200/hour. Working with a masters-level Certified Mental Performance Consultant typically costs $150/hour. However, volume packages can be purchased to reduce the cost per session. Also, 30-minute sessions are offered after an athlete/performing artist has made progress and wants some more efficiency.

Dr. Scott Dreyer is a licensed psychologist and capable of treating clinical conditions. Consequently, a number of clientele choose to leverage their insurance to treat underlying mental health issues. If you qualify, you would simply pay Performance Insight upfront and then submit a paid invoice to your insurance company. The insurance provider typically reimburses whatever is covered for an ‘out-of network psychologist’. Your deductible would have to be met. Please be aware that you will have to complete clinical intake paperwork and receive a DSM V mental health diagnosis.

In addition to significant improvement in your particular need area (i.e. anxiety, confidence, emotion management, focus, resilience, self-esteem, coping skills, competitive play, etc.), you will have access to all of our tools and resources. For example, you might want hard or soft copies of a breathing technique. Or, you might want a visualization/imagery recording to use at home. These are included. Also, your individual consultant will be available to you when you need him/her. We like to provide free ‘spot-coaching’ for our committed clients. Such spot-coaching is often used when a client is at a tournament or competitive event. It is tremendously empowering to text or call your consultant to either get in the right ‘head space’ prior to competing or debrief after an event.

Most every athlete and performing artist can benefit from performance coaching and mental training. We work with individuals at every level of experience and accomplishment. This includes; primary grade school, high school, collegiate, semi-professional and professional levels. Ages range from 12- 90+.

Yes We are all unique human-beings. Therefore, when it comes to maximizing performance, each individual will require a unique approach or customized skills. Some need a positive mindset or present-oriented focus. Other’s need to manage their nerves and emotions. Still others have to develop consistent habits. Based on your needs, our performance consultants will tailor the intervention to meet you where you’re at. We will have you complete paperwork, hold an initial evaluation and potentially complete some assessments.

We also offer group services and classes for teams. All too often, a team is struggling with it’s overall performance. Morale might be low. Maybe there is too much negativity? Confidence might have dropped? Or, the team wants to know how to become elite. They want to know what kind of behaviors, attitudes, and habits are necessary to perform at the highest level. Also, team-building services are often requested by coaches. Performance Insight can help. We have worked with softball, baseball, soccer, hockey, sailing, and golf teams.

Many of our clients present with an inability to perform in competition. For some reason, they practice and train at a high level but struggle to convert that ability to pressure situations. This is common. We help athletes and performing artists ‘rise to the occasion’ when the pressure is on. We help with performance anxiety, anger and emotion management, self-confidence, discipline, focus, and even self-esteem. A few of our consultants can address mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. Dr. Scott Dreyer is a licensed clinical psychologist and also certified to provide life coaching and traditional counseling services to address mental health issues. Our consultants are all equipped to build resilience and coping skills.
