​

Elite competitors and athletes, share several character traits, mental and physical capability with the tactical military population, which we have unique insights into and years of experience supporting.

Who We Help

Based in Virginia Beach, VA, we serve the greater Hampton Roads area - offering several different types of therapy and treatment for varying mental health needs. 

 

We work predominantly with adults and older adolescents (13+) who are facing difficulties, problems or challenges that require more than a friend’s advice to overcome.  These are problems that can often lead to depression and/or anxiety, pain, or anger and get in the way of daily living.

MENTAL HEALTH
vs.
mental performance

Mental health and mental performance are two distinct but interrelated aspects of psychological well-being. While mental health refers to the overall state of one's psychological and emotional well-being and day to day ability to function, mental performance refers to one's cognitive abilities and capacity to carry out tasks efficiently and effectively. It is possible for an individual to have good mental performance but poor mental health, and vice versa.

INSURANCE + PRICING

In order to provide the best care to our clients, we currently accept a select number of insurance plans. All fees are due at the time of service. If your plan is not accepted, you may still be eligible for reimbursement through your insurance provider. Upon request, we will provide a superbill—an itemized receipt that includes the therapist’s license number, tax ID, diagnosis, and details of services rendered. This is typically required for out-of-network reimbursement.
To check your eligibility or submit for reimbursement, you can easily use the Reimbursify site.

TESTIMONIALS

"Balanced Growth has taught me how to manage my anxiety and stress by using different techniques to improve how I think and process situations that affect me as well as being a person I am comfortable talking to. She is understanding of my feelings and emotions to new things and helps me adapt and understand them as well. I have grown as a person by learning more about myself and who I truly am on the inside no matter what adversity I have experienced. The most growth I have felt since working with Jess at Balanced Growth has been my confidence; I feel like I understand more about myself than I ever have and feel reassured with myself. I would absolutely tell any athlete no matter what level to work with Balanced Growth because they are understanding of different sports, aspects of life and personal lives. I have improved so much as a person working with Jess and am thankful to move forward into adulthood with strategies many young adults my age do not 

have."
