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, licensed professional counselor, typically costs $185-$200/hour. Working with a masters-level Certified Mental Performance Consultant typically costs $135-$150/hour. However, volume packages can be purchased to reduce the cost per therapy sessions. Also, 30-minute sessions are offered after an athlete/performing artist has made progress and wants some more efficiency that a licensed professional counselor can bring through the therapy process.

Dr. Scott Dreyer is a licensed professional counselor (psycologist), understanding 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.
