We work with athletes of all ages. We have services tailored for youth athletes who are in more devopmental stages of their lives; college athletes who have the added pressure of academics; and pro athletes of all ages who are dealing with the challenges of their sport as well as those of adult life.

A few sports that we are well versed in at Speakstone are: Football, Baseball, Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Swimming, Endurance Sports, Winter Sports, MMA, Jiu Jistu, Judo, Boxing/Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Karate, Wrestling, and more!

Insurance has drawbacks that we feel limit our ability to provide top-of-the-line services for our clients:

1. Privacy and Confidentiality: When insurance is involved, records of therapy must be reported to insurance companies, leading to a lack of privacy for clients who prefer to keep their mental health services confidential.

2. Full Control Over Our Services: We have the freedom to tailor services specifically to the needs of the client without being constrained by insurance company policies regarding session length, frequency, or types of services provided.

3. Avoidance of Pathologizing Clients: Insurance companies typically require a diagnosis for reimbursement. In sports therapy, the need to provide a diagnosis can be unnecessary or even counterproductive.

4. Flexibility in Treatment Plans: Our therapists can work with clients to determine the most appropriate length and course of treatment without being limited by insurance restrictions.

We also do not take medicaid and unfortuntely cannot see mental health clients that have medicaid.
