A Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC®) is a qualified professional who helps individuals and teams strengthen the mental side of performance. Backed by science and certified by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), CMPCs use proven strategies to support athletes, coaches, performers, and high achievers across fields.

CMPCs are trained to teach skills like focus, confidence, emotional regulation, motivation, and resilience—skills essential for performing well under pressure and bouncing back from setbacks.

To earn the CMPC® designation, consultants must:

• Hold a graduate degree in sport psychology or a related field

• Complete rigorous coursework and over 400 hours of supervised practical experience

• Pass a comprehensive certification exam

• Follow a strict code of ethics and engage in ongoing professional development

While CMPCs are not clinical therapists, they work alongside other professionals to support performance and mental well-being. When you work with a CMPC, you're working with someone who understands what it takes to perform at your best—consistently and confidently.

Whether you're working with Sharleen one-on-one or as part of a team, each session is purposeful and focused on developing specific mental skill(s) —what Sharleen calls training in the "mind gym." Sessions begin with a brief check-in to support overall well-being and ensure psychological safety. Together, you’ll review the mental skill targeted for that session and then engage in guided activities designed to build that skill. Throughout the session, Sharleen monitors your engagement and progress, adapting as needed. Every session ends with time to reflect, share feedback, and identify next steps for continued growth. Individuals are encouraged to bring notebooks to write down exercises, responses to questions, and any notes that they want to remember from the sessions.
