Philosophy

Each person views and experiences the world in their unique style. Appreciating individuality is essential to providing exceptional services in counseling, consulting, psychological assessment, and performance enhancement with clients, athletes, and teams. My fundamental belief is, “how we think affects how we feel and what we do each day”. Sometimes our experiences from the past, and/or present, affect our ability to function at a desired level and we struggle to complete daily tasks. This is the time to work collaboratively with a professional to help improve your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to achieve peak performance in all areas of life.
Dr. Brian Monteleone has over 25 years of clinical, assessment, and consulting experience with children, adolescents, adults, families, and athletes. Dr. Monteleone owns a private practice in Charlotte, NC, Psychological Services of Charlotte, and has worked in a variety of clinical positions and settings during the past 25 years that include:
