These services are offered for anyone who desires to work on excelling in an aspect of their life and mental illness is not the focus. Because this is not driven by medical necessity, insurance reimbursement is not available. The process might, at
first glance, seem as though the work would be easier, or superficial, but this is not so. Overcoming natural tendencies (i.e., shyness, anger, impulsiveness, worry), or learning new skills which might be at odds with past beliefs or habits can be challenging. But the joy and satisfaction in experiencing growth can offset the discomfort experienced as you work through the process.The process is guided by your goals. Your motivation
in following through on trying new behaviors will drive the process. I will act as a guide by asking questions and presenting information and alternative perspectives. Depending upon the situation, I use cognitive behavioral, systems theory, and other modalities.
I have worked with athletes for several decades in all age groups and levels (weekend warrior, high school, college and professional). My goal is to aid you in dealing more effectively in whatever arena you strive to excel within; whether as a professional, as a competitor or as someone who enjoys their avocation.
The fees are to be paid prior to the services being rendered. The initial session is $225 and each additional session is $170. If you are interested in exploring whether I am the right professional to aid you in reaching your goals, please give me a call at 419.867.0301. I have an answering service that will take your name and number and will let me know that you are interested in talking with me for 5 or 10 minutes. I return calls as quickly as I am able. After our brief chat, if we decide that we would be a good team, you will be asked to download and print the forms needed before you come for your first session. If you do not have the ability to download these forms, let me know while we are talking on the phone and I will send you a packet with all needed forms so that you can fill them out prior to our first meeting.
The forms I need you to fill out and return to me along with your check for $225 are the Sports Psychology/Skills Enhancement Contract and the Confidential Communication Form.
If there is anyone that you would want me to communicate with, please download and fill out the Sports Release of Information From Psychological Directions and bring this form with you.
If you have someone with information that you want to send me/talk with me then please download, fill out and send to them the Sports Release of Information To Psychological Directions form.
I am affiliated with a number of organizations including the Golf PIT. My Holland office is the only location where I see clients, unless we jointly agree to meet elsewhere.
