Adam Wright, PHD, LAC, CMPC

Adam is a licensed psychotherapist (LAC–NJ), Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and Certified Executive Coach. He holds a PhD in Kinesiology with a focus in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Temple University and a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, grounded in a psychoanalytic focus but practiced through an integrative, evidence-based approach. His training bridges clinical counseling, sport and performance psychology, and exercise science, supported by certifications in exercise physiology and strength & conditioning. This unique combination allows him to address the mental, emotional, and physical demands of high performance with uncommon depth and precision.

For over two decades, Adam has worked with professional athletes, elite teams, senior executives, and clinical populations across high-stakes environments, including sport, business, healthcare, law, and tactical professions.

While the entry point is often symptom relief or peak performance, Adam’s approach focuses on deeper work, exploring identity, purpose, and the existential foundations that spark meaningful change and lasting motivation. His philosophy is simple: elite talent and refined skill open the door, but the true game is mastering the mind that drives them. High performers come to sharpen their edge, sustain clarity under pressure, and lead with purpose, and they leave with greater resilience, enhanced well-being, and the drive to keep pushing their limits.

A recognized leader in performance psychology, Adam advises organizations on building systems that foster high performance, psychological safety, and lasting cultural growth. He currently serves as Director of Mental Performance for the Washington Nationals, consults for NJ/NY Gotham FC, and is co-founder of The Antifragile Academy.
