Dr. Adam Formal Founder & Clinical Director

My mission is to re-humanize people who have been made to feel like less than human by the pressures of their environments. I specialize in working with high-performers, elite athletes, and individuals struggling with substance use or navigating a lack of balance in their lives.

Often, I work with clients who look highly successful from the outside, but internally feel like something is missing, or feel overwhelmed by the very lives they’ve worked so hard to build. Whether you are an isolated executive or an athlete struggling with the weight of expectations, I provide a safe, attuned space to help you regain your footing. I also provide consultations and presentations to athletic or office teams.

Clinical & Sports Experience I have dedicated a significant portion of my career to consulting and traveling with elite athletes and Team USA. I am proudly:
