Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Vitulano.
A psychologist and executive coach helping people think clearly, act decisively, and follow through.
My story
My work sits where psychology and performance meet. I specialize in ADHD, executive functioning (the frontal-lobe skills behind focus, planning, and follow-through), men's mental health, and business performance. My approach combines CBT and ACT to help you move from insight to action.
A large focus of my work is in men's mental health, ADHD, and career development. As a business coach, I work with individual entrepreneurs, startups, and large international corporations seeking business and career clarity.
My career has been shaped by a variety of experiences: academic research, travel, and competitive sports. My background as a student-athlete at Wesleyan University gave me real experience in teamwork and group dynamics. I've also gained a great deal of cultural and experiential learning through travel, teaching, and volunteerism all over the world.
How I work
I primarily use CBT and ACT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented approach that helps you see and change the negative or unhelpful patterns and take meaningful action even when motivation or certainty isn't there yet.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, while committing to actions that align with their personal values.
