 Hi, I'm Dr. Kate Bennett.

I'm a three-time national champion, clinical sport psychologist, author, and founder of Athlete Insight.

As seasoned athletes, my team and I know that traditional therapy can feel like a half-solution.

That's why, here, we've helped hundreds of NCAA, professional, elite, Olympic, Paralympic, and recreational athletes with an approach tailored to the needs of an athlete's mind. We'd be honored to help you, too.

Common QuestionsYou may still be wondering...

  • Predicting the duration of therapy is difficult because individuals are unique and situations are variable. We understand that no two stories are the same. Rather than fixate on a number of weeks or sessions, we work with individuals to develop meaningful goals and commit to regular assessment of progress and goal completion.

  • Typically, individuals attend weekly sessions; however, they may attend more or less frequently based on individual needs and progress. For example, you may attend weekly sessions at the start of therapy and taper down to biweekly and monthly as you near goal completion.

  • Therapy sessions range from 50-80 minutes in length based on individual needs. Usually, sessions are 50 minutes long unless it is your first session (60 minutes) or an EMDR session (80 minutes). Psychiatry sessions range from 15-60 minutes.

  • We support the clinical and performance needs of adolescents and adults.

  • We do not accept insurance out of respect for individual privacy. When therapists bill insurance directly, insurance companies require the sharing of personal information and rely on diagnoses to dictate the course and type of treatment. We prefer to treat individuals uniquely by tailoring therapy to personalities, needs, life experiences, and goals.

    We do provide super bills that can be submitted directly to your insurance for potential reimbursement; however, the provision of super bills does not guarantee insurance reimbursement. It is best to contact your insurance company directly to fully understand your benefits. You are welcome to use an HSA account to pay for any Athlete Insight service.

  • The fees range based on the expertise and experience of the provider in addition to session length.

    Session fees for working with a practicum student is $110 per 50 minute session.

    Session fees for working with a LPCC ranges from $140-155 per 50 minute session.

    Session fees for working with a LPC are $170 per 50 minute session.

    Licensed clinical psychologists charge $275 per 50 minute session.

    Twenty-five minute medical management appointments with our sport psychiatrist cost $225.

    Please note that all providers require a one-time 60 minute intake that allows the provider to learn all about you prior to diving into working sessions. The intake fees are slightly higher due to the increased session length.

    Please schedule a discovery call with the provider of your choice to learn about their specific rates.

    We accept major credit cards and require athletes to place a card on file. We will run each invoice following the completion of a service.

    We believe you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate.

    Per the No Surprises Act, you have a right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of expected charges to understand how much your medical care will cost. Under this law, healthcare providers are required to give patients who do not have insurance or will not utilize their insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services and related items.

    You have a right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of non-emergency services and items. This includes medical testing, prescription drugs, hospital visits, and medical equipment.

    A GFE should be provided at least one business day in advance of the scheduled service or item being rendered. You can request a GFE prior to scheduling an appointment with any and all healthcare providers.

    If you receive a bill that is $400 greater than the GFE, you may dispute the bill. Be sure to save a copy or take a picture of the GFE in case you do need to dispute a bill. For more information about GFEs, please visit https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the Colorado Division of Insurance at 303-894-7490 or 1-800-930-3745.

  • We request 48 hours of notice for cancellation. If you do not cancel within 48 hours of your scheduled session, you will be billed for the scheduled session in full.

  • We specialize in the clinical and performance needs of athletes, but we also enjoy working with individuals seeking support to thrive in life regardless of athletic status.
