Individual Consultation
Individual consultation: All individual consultations begin with an assessment and goal setting. The number of sessions required will then be determined. Consultation may include in-office viewing of training tapes, coach involvement, on-site sessions and tracking forms. Extended health care benefits or EAP coverage may apply, please inquire.
Phone consultation (with or without Zoom): If you are not within office reach, you can obtain consultation over the phone. or by Zoom. Who can benefit? Any rider, any discipline. Young, or well seasoned! Some competitive riders want to improve their performance skills so they can take their ride to the next level. In office or virtual sessions, including consultations while showing, assist them in reaching their goals. Many riders approach me to assist them in overcoming their physical fear. Horse sport is not without risk, so accidents can and do happen. Fear also naturally increases as we age but does not have to stop you from enjoying your sport. You can take back your ride, and nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping riders smile in the saddle again. I have worked with coaches to reach their goals of becoming the best trainers they can be, improve their communication with students, understand learning styles or how to begin to incorporate mental training into their lesson plans. Basically, anything that impacts your sport (relationships, stress, mental health issues, parenting, depression to name but a few) I can help you or will certainly make sure you are connected with someone who can, if I feel the issue suggests a different fit. As a Psychologist as well as a rider, I am committed to your well-being and success in and out of the show ring. If you need more information, just send me a note and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. |
