ClearMind Leadership Lab
For executives, athletes, founders, and high-performance professionals who know what peak performance feels like — and are ready to get back there.
This is not traditional coaching. It is performance psychology applied at the level your role actually demands - combining 20 years of clinical depth, sports psychology, and master-certified coaching into a private, rigorous engagement built around you specifically.The pressure no one talks about at your level
You've built something significant. You carry decisions that affect teams, revenue, families, and long-term outcomes. You're expected to remain steady, composed, and high-functioning — regardless of what's happening internally.
And yet behind the title and the responsibility, high performers quietly navigate:
✓ Cognitive overload that erodes the clarity your role demands
✓ Decision fatigue that slows you down at exactly the wrong moments
✓ Emotional reactivity or detachment that affects your leadership presence
✓ Burnout that doesn't look like burnout — it looks like discipline
✓ A widening gap between how you're performing and how you know you're capable of performing
✓ Loss of identity beyond the role — and no space to address it
High performers rarely have access to someone who can challenge, steady, and strengthen them at a psychological level. Someone who understands both the clinical dimension of what they're experiencing and the performance demands of the environment they're operating in.
That is the gap ClearMind Leadership Lab was built to fill.
How ClearMind works:
Most executive coaches address strategy, habits, and leadership skills. ClearMind addresses what's underneath — the psychological architecture that determines how you think, decide, regulate, and perform when the stakes are highest.
The work is built around three interconnected areas:
Cognitive performance and decision-making clarity
High-pressure environments create cognitive noise that degrades the very thinking your role depends on. We work directly on how you process information, make decisions under uncertainty, and maintain precision when the margin for error is small. This is the same mental performance work applied to elite athletes — brought directly to the demands of executive leadership.
Emotional regulation and composure under pressure
Your nervous system responds to leadership pressure the same way an athlete's responds to competition. The difference is that athletes train their psychological response deliberately and consistently. Most executives don't. ClearMind brings that same deliberate training framework to how you manage stress, conflict, emotional reactivity, and sustained high-pressure performance over time.
Identity, sustainability, and performance beyond the role
The most overlooked performance variable at the executive level is the stability of the person behind the title. When identity is entirely fused with role and output, performance becomes fragile — vulnerable to setbacks, transitions, and the inevitable moments when results don't match effort. This work reconnects performance with something more durable than outcome — so that what you build lasts, and so do you.
What working with Dr. Ingersoll looks like
ClearMind engagements are private, confidential, and built entirely around your specific situation. There are no group programs, no cohorts, and no generic frameworks applied wholesale. Every engagement begins with a thorough understanding of your specific performance profile, pressures, and goals.
✓ Private 1:1 sessions with Dr. Joel Ingersoll — combining clinical psychology, performance science, and master-certified coaching in every conversation. Sessions are structured around your specific priorities and adjusted as the work evolves.
✓ Performance psychology assessment — a structured evaluation of how you think, regulate, decide, and perform under pressure. This is not a personality quiz. It is a clinically grounded analysis that informs every aspect of the engagement.
✓ Between-session integration — specific practices, frameworks, and performance tools applied to your actual work between sessions. The work doesn't stay in the room.
✓ Direct access between sessions — for time-sensitive decisions, emerging challenges, or brief check-ins that can't wait. This is a focused communication channel, not unlimited consulting.
✓ Full confidentiality — everything discussed remains entirely private. No notes shared, no reports generated, no organizational involvement unless explicitly requested. What happens in this engagement stays in this engagement.
This engagement is not for everyone. It is for the person who is serious about performing at the level their role and ambition demand — and who understands that psychological performance is not separate from professional performance. It is the foundation of it.
Participation is limited to maintain depth, confidentiality, and impact.

Bio

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.
Featured expert in national and regional media

If the gap between where you are and where you know you're capable of performing is real — that's exactly what this work addresses.
The executives, athletes, and high performers who work with Dr. Ingersoll don't come because something is wrong. They come because they take performance seriously enough to invest in it at the psychological level — the same way elite athletes always have.
If that sounds like you, I'd like to talk.
