Alison's Experience with Equine Therapy & Sport Psychology

The following are my fees for the different therapies I provide: 

Mental Performance: $100 /Session

Talk Therapy: $150/Session

Walk and Talk Therapy: $170/Session

Equine Therapy: $225

I take all major credit cards which are kept on file or Venmo before the time of service. All stored credit cards are stored in our Electronic Medical Records portal. Services are charged the morning of the service and if the payment is declined, the session will be cancelled. 

I am a private pay provider which means I do not accept any toes of insurance. All fees are the responsibility of the client which are due at the time of service. 

Choosing private pay for therapy offers several key advantages that enhance the quality of your care and protect your privacy:

1. Complete Confidentiality 

   With private pay, your personal information stays between us. Unlike insurance companies, which require detailed documentation and access to your mental health records, private pay ensures your privacy. This means no diagnosis or treatment details are shared with a third party, keeping your therapeutic experience confidential and personal.

2. No Diagnosis Required 

   Insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis to cover therapy sessions, which becomes part of your permanent medical record. For many, this isn’t necessary or desired. Private pay allows us to focus on your personal growth, mental health, and performance goals without the pressure of fitting into a specific diagnosis.

3. Personalized, Flexible Care

   Without the limitations imposed by insurance companies, we can tailor therapy to your unique needs. You have the freedom to choose the type of therapy (whether traditional talk therapy, equine therapy, or walk-and-talk), the session length, and how frequently we meet. This flexibility allows us to design a plan that truly works for you.

4. Greater Focus on Your Goals

   Insurance may limit the number of sessions or require specific types of therapy based on coverage. With private pay, the focus is entirely on what’s best for you. We can work together at your pace, addressing your goals and challenges without worrying about meeting insurance criteria or restrictions.

5. Higher Quality, Uninterrupted Care

   Private pay enables you to access uninterrupted, high-quality care. You won’t have to worry about sudden changes in your coverage or interruptions in your treatment. This ensures continuity, which is essential for long-term mental health and personal growth.
