  • "Dr. Landgrebe is without a doubt one of the best sports psychologists I have had the pleasure of working with. She has been an integral part of our clients’ recovery and my work with clients as a sports dietitian has been augmented tremendously by her work with them in therapy. Her ability to listen, understand, validate, and help people challenge and process through barriers to recovery is incredible. She has helped many folks return to their values and expand their lives to be so much more than their identity as an athlete. I cannot say enough good things about Lindsey!"

  • The Bridge values empowering individuals to tell their story on their own terms which means each individual can decide who has privilege and access to their story. Because of this empowerment model which values protecting each client’s privacy, The Bridge is a private pay practice and is considered out-of-network with insurance carriers.

    The Bridge does support those individuals who would like to explore taking advantage of any out-of-network benefits.

    A superbill may be provided at the end of each month to you upon your request and you may submit this to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.

    Please note that the fees may or may not be reimbursed by your insurance and it is the responsibility of the individual client or family to confirm with their insurance what out-of-network benefits they have through their insurance policy.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) under the No Surprises ACT. The GFE allows you to see how much your medical care will cost.

    Healthcare providers are required to provide an estimate of services if and when an individual does not have insurance or is not utilizing their insurance for services.

    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 Good Faith Estimates and the No Surprises Act go to https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises

  • Therapy or counseling may be more specific to supporting someone who is struggling with generalized anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship issues, and processing trauma.

    A licensed mental health professional would be able to address these concerns. Additionally, a licensed mental health professional will have various levels of training, education, and experience working with different populations (e.g., children, adolescents, veterans, etc) and in different settings (community behavioral health, schools, hospital, college counseling center, etc).

    Sport psychology services support the intersection of athlete mental health and sport performance. They are provided by a licensed mental health professional who has specific training and education related to sport, the athlete identity, sport culture, team dynamics, and the unique pressures within the context of sport. Sport psychology services can support an athlete or high performing individual to enhance their overall mindset, mental preparation, develop resilience and flexibility in the context of their performance, AND support their overall well-being by treating underlying anxiety, mood-concerns, OCD, trauma, body image distress, and eating disorders.

    Lindsey Landgrebe, owner and founder of The Bridge, is a Licensed Counseling and Sport Psychologist. She values a whole person approach to support athletes and high performers. She supports athletes from both a mental health and mental performance perspective.
