Cynthia Stern, PhD, LMFT, CMPC®

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Lic#106744), Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC®, #1977), and Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership, my approach centers on collaborative partnerships to cultivate a high-performance mindset and unlock fullest potential. I specialize in supporting athletes, organizational leaders, creative professionals, and executives navigating the demands of elite performance. Together, we address performance anxiety and plateaus, leadership challenges, identity, career transitions, and retirement. We also explore relationship and team dynamics, disordered eating, and substance concerns using a performance-informed lens. By integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we design strategies for clarity, resilience, and long-term fulfillment.
