I have spent more than twenty years advising elite athletes, executives, and artists, including four seasons as Director of Mental Performance for the Washington Nationals.

More about Adam

Seeking support is rarely the first instinct.

People in demanding roles are used to carrying more than others can see. The issue is rarely effort or intelligence. More often, an established way of performing, relating, or managing pressure is no longer enough.

Many have few places where they can speak freely and in confidence. I understand the resistance to seeking support because I have felt it myself.

What brings people here

From the outside, performance may still look intact, even as sustaining it requires more effort.

Under pressure, preparation may not translate into performance. After a mistake or difficult decision, the next action can be harder to trust.

Success, injury, life-stage transitions, or greater responsibility can create ambiguity and unsettle identity.

Sometimes nothing is failing. A new opportunity or ambition simply calls for a different way of working.

Some seek psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions. Others face burnout, relationship strain, or recurring emotional patterns.

Working together

Most people I work with already know what to do. We work on what gets in the way.
