Full Length Bio:
Hi, I am Dr. Sean A. Green. My work sits at the intersection of mental performance, mental health, and human recovery. I serve people whose lives require immense amounts of psychophysiological energy and effort: neurodivergent thinkers who run on a different operating system, veterans and first responders carrying unique experiences from their profession, athletes navigating the full arc of performance and recovery, high performing professionals operating frequently in pressure cookers or high-stake environments , and caregivers quietly running on empty. These communities reflect my identity, my history, and the lived experiences that shaped why I do this work.
I hold a Doctor of Education in Sport and Performance Psychology with a Clinical Mental Health Counseling specialization from the University of Western States, a Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Management from Saint Leo University, and a Master of Science in Exercise Science with a specialization in Sport Psychology and Health Promotion from Pennsylvania Western University. I am also a Certified Neuropsychotherapist (NPT-C), which means my approach is grounded in how the brain actually responds to stress, recovery, performance, and growth.
My applied experience spans more than two decades in human performance optimization, resilience, readiness, and prevention. I have advised executive military leaders, interagency decision makers, elite athletes, and members of the public on strategies to strengthen mental resilience, sharpen focus, and sustain readiness across high demand seasons of life. I have worked alongside the kinds of people who do not have time to spin their wheels and who want a clinician who can move at their pace while still doing the deeper work.
Neurodivergent and high performing professionals come to me when traditional support has missed the mark. I work with the ways neurodivergent brains actually engage with focus, energy, recovery, and rest, rather than forcing clients into thought patterns counterproductive to their current operating system.
Veterans and first responders find a clinician who understands the culture, the language, the weight, and the unspoken parts of service. My applied work with executive military leaders and interagency teams gives me a frame of reference that does not require translation. Whether the work is around reintegration, identity after service, performance recovery, or the slow accumulation of stress that nobody saw coming, the space is built for you.
Athletes work with me across the full continuum of performance and recovery. I support performance anxiety, mental skills development, injury recovery, return to play, identity transitions, retirement from sport, and the quiet pressure that comes with being the one expected to show up no matter what. My recovery work integrates sport psychology with neuropsychotherapy so the body and the mind are recovering together, not in isolation.
Caregivers sit at the heart of my practice in a particular way. The parent caring for a neurodivergent child, the spouse holding it down for a service member, the adult child supporting an aging parent, the professional caregiver whose entire job is to pour out. Caregivers are some of the highest performing people on the planet and the least likely to be honored as such. I see you, and the work I do is built to refill what your role has been quietly draining.
Beyond one to one care, I offer workshops, trainings, and resilience coaching for teams, organizations, athletic programs, and community groups. Topics include mental performance, resilience and recovery, neurodivergence in high performance settings, caregiver burnout, identity and culture in service occupations, and the neuroscience of stress and growth. My sessions blend doctoral level science with applied practice, leaving participants with strategies they can actually use the next day.
Raised in Georgia, I spend my off hours reading neuroscience and psychophysiology research and laughing with the people I love. My vision is to build a space where neurodivergent folx, veterans, athletes, high performing professionals, and caregivers can do the kind of work that actually moves the needle, and to bring that same depth of care into the workshops and trainings I deliver.
I am a member of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology and the Society of Sports Neuroscience.
