• Performance Psychologist to Executives, Athletes, and High Achievers

    Telehealth services available across 39 states through PSYPACT participation.

    For those who refuse to underperform.

    I'm Dr. Joel Ingersoll, a clinical psychologist, master-certified performance coach, and sports psychologist with over 20 years of working with executives and leaders, D-1 and professional athletes, and high achievers.

    I combine performance psychology, evidence-based coaching, functional health testing, and fitness integration to help serious people perform at the level their ambition demands.

    If you have outgrown therapy and need more than a business coach, this is where you belong.

  • Executive Performance Consulting

    You've built the success. The discipline is there. The drive is undeniable.

    And yet there's a level you haven't reached, and you already know working harder isn't the answer.

    This work is for executives who are ready to understand exactly what's limiting their ceiling.

  • Student Psychotherapy & Executive Functioning Coaching

    Many capable students struggle not because they lack ability, but because the pressure to perform begins to overwhelm their ability to think clearly and execute consistently. I work with motivated students, often high achievers or student-athletes, who want to strengthen their focus, discipline, and resilience as they navigate academic demands, college transitions, and high personal expectations. The goal is not simply to reduce stress, but to help students develop the executive functioning, emotional intelligence, and mental skills required to perform well while maintaining balance and perspective.

  • Sports Psychology & Consultation for Athletes, Coaches, & Teams

    Athletic performance depends as much on mental preparation as physical training. The ability to stay composed, focused, and resilient under pressure often determines the outcome when competition intensifies.

    I work with athletes, coaches, and teams to strengthen the psychological skills that support consistent performance: confidence, concentration, team dynamics, recovery from setbacks, and the ability to compete freely under pressure.

  • Integrative Health & Performance

    A complete performance system for local high-achievers psychology, coaching, fucntional health testing, nutrition, and fitness optimization under one roof. For professionals who understand that peak performance is never just one thing.

    Based in Berkeley Heights, NJ. Limited availability.

    My careeer has been spent at the intersection of two worlds most practicioners occupy separately: the clinical depth to understand what is actually driving underperformance and the performance coaching framework to do something about it quickly. I began my career at Lehigh University in 2002 as a Staff Psychologist and Coordinator of Alcohol & Other Drug Services, where my work with the university's D-1 athletic programs as a sports psychology consultant began. I later served as Associate Director of Counseling Services while simultaneously building my independent private practice which I founded in 2005 and have maintained as a full-time thriving private ever since. Throughout those years I also served as Affiliate and Adjunct Faculty teaching graduate level coursework in advanced psychopathology, psychopharmacology, and group theory and dynamics. I completed a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University, one of a select number of APA-accredited doctoral programs in the country, and hold an MA in Applied Social and Community Psychology - a combination that informs how I work with individuals and the organizational systems they operate within. My research has been published in the Journal of Personality Assessment.

    I founded ClearMind Leadership Lab for people who have always performed at a high level and know they are capable of more. My work isn't therapy and isn't generic coaching. It's a rigorous, evidenced-based approach to performance built around what you speciafically need - whether you're an executive closing the gap between where you are and where your ambition points, an athlete whose mental game isn't matching your physical preparation or recovery, or a student with every capability but not yet the operating system to actualize strengths and talents..

    I'm also the author of Fix-It Fatigue: How Gen-X Parents Can Stop Fixing Everything and Start Raising Adults Who Can Handle Anything, and have been featured as a performance and mental health expert in People Magazine, Fox News, WPIX-11 News, and WFAN.

    If any of this sounds like where you are right now - I'd like to talk.
