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 buckling under the weight of expectations, I provide a safe, attuned space to help you regain your footing.

Clinical & Sports Experience I have dedicated a significant portion of my career to sports psychology, consulting and traveling with elite athletes and Team USA. I am proudly listed on the US Olympic and Paralympic Mental Health Directory and serve as an independent clinician on the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) Mental Health & Performance Registry. Additionally, I recently served as the Director of Mental Health (Medical Advisory Committee) for Maccabi USA, supporting a delegation of roughly 900 athletes.
