About Us
Center for Psychological Performance was founded in 2016 by Dr. Lindsey Swanson Schriefer. Our focus is on helping our clients enhance their performance – in school, in sports, and in life. Whether it be through sport psychology consultation or a psychoeducational evaluation, we provide the skills for our clients to succeed. At Center for Psychological Performance, we believe that each of our clients are destined to have a huge impact on this world and we want to be sure that they are more than capable of taking on the challenges and obstacles on their way to greatness.
We are changing the experience families have with testing psychologists. Our comprehensive evaluations explore the strengths of students, not just the weaknesses, in a variety of areas to determine any learning, attention, language, social, or emotional issues. These evaluations allow students to regain their love of learning, validate the student’s and family’s experiences, and generate a path to move forward by providing them with the tools and resources to succeed academically.
Athlete’s Academy, our sport psychology branch, takes the guesswork out of mental training for elite athletes. We provide comprehensive mental training with actionable steps so that elite athletes can quickly develop and implement mental skills that result in improved athletic performance. Athlete’s Academy fills the gap in an athletes’ training and takes them from a good athlete to a GREAT athlete.
