Are We a Good Fit?
How much do your services cost?
I value the time, effort, and dedication it takes to help clients move toward what truly matters to them. This is my mission. To offer an effective, high-quality service--and remain a trusted leader in the sports psychology field. I have spent the last 20 years building expertise through extensive education, training, and experience. I've developed the knowledge base required to deliver real value. I also intentionally set my rates at the lower end of the average cost, making it more accessible for athletes to receive the help they need.
​
Do you accept insurance?
No. As my work evolved and I began specializing in helping elite athletes, I realized that accepting insurance would not align with the nature of my services or the standard of care I aim to provide. When insurance companies cover therapy, they require access to your treatment plans and session notes. Their job is to review and monitor for potential fraud or excessive use of benefits. This means they can limit sessions if they feel progress isn't happening quickly enough or if they don't consider the service "medically necessary." Some will not even approve or reimburse 60-minute sessions. YOU deserve privacy and control over your records and your pace of growth. Everyone progresses differently, and therapy should respect that. This is different for each client.​
Insurance also requires a diagnosis to justify treatment and payment. However, not all mental health concerns meet their criteria. That can lead to pressure on therapists to assign more severe diagnoses just to receive reimbursement. Doing so would be insurance fraud--and I refuse to compromise integrity. Giving you a false diagnosis can have long-term consequences for YOU, and it goes against everything I stand for.
​
Do you have a license to provide treatment for mental health issues?
Yes! I am a licensed and board-certified counselor through the State of Missouri.
Are you certified in sports psychology?
Yes! I am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant through the Association for Applied Sports Psychology.
​
How many sessions will I need?
This is difficult question to answer upfront. Every client's situation is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all formula. My approach is grounded in brief therapy, which emphasizes moving forward through intentional, committed action in service of what matters most to you. While we may explore your past when it is relevant, we only do so to understand how it influences what's working or not working now.
​
How are you different than other sports psychology professionals?
Many professionals rely on an outcome-based approach to therapy or performance consulting, focusing mainly on reaching specific goals. While this may seem effective in theory, in practice, interventions like positive self-talk, relaxation training, visualization and imagery are often not grounded in solid scientific research or supported as consistently effective tools for enhancing performance. At best, these methods yield mixed results and may not lead to lasting improvement.
My approach is different. I use a practical, functional framework rooted in evidenced-based research. It's designed to help you take meaningful action on what actually works--moving you efficiently toward your goals. This process honors your autonomy and freedom to choose your direction in life and sport. Through intentional, committed actions, you'll continue progressing--even when difficult thoughts, feelings, or internal struggles arise--toward the life and performance outcomes that matter most to you.
​
Why is the leaping man in your logo not centered?
Good question--I get asked that a lot! If you look closely at the logo, you'll see that the athlete is leaping from the word COMMIT to the word ACTION. The fact that he is more aligned with ACTION is intentional. The offset symbolizes movement and momentum--the heart of the COMMIT-TO-ACTION LLC philosophy and mission. It represents that critical leap from intention to action, where real change happens.
