JDFlorida Clinical Sport Psychological Services LLC

With over 20 years of experience helping clients strengthen their mental health, performance, and personal growth, Dr. JD Friedman launched JDFlorida Clinical Sport Psychological Services to provide high-quality, compassionate Telehealth care for individuals navigating the unique demands of both sport and life. Dr. Friedman’s background spans both hospital and private practice settings, where he has treated a wide range of psychological concerns. From 2021 to 2024, he served as the Team Psychologist for the New Jersey Devils (NHL). He has also held roles as Assistant Director of Mental Health and Performance for the New York Liberty (WNBA) and as a consultant to organizations including the Brooklyn Nets (NBA), NJ/NY Red Bulls (MLS), and Greenstone, a subsidiary of Pfizer. Across these roles, Dr. Friedman has seen how performance suffers when mental health is overlooked—and how much can change when it’s made a priority. His approach blends evidence-based clinical therapy with sport-specific mental performance strategies, tailored to each client’s needs. Whether someone is working through anxiety or depression, injury recovery, performance pressure, relationship challenges, identity shifts, or life transitions, Dr. Friedman helps clients build resilience, unlock potential, and pursue meaningful growth—on and off the field. Dr. Friedman is licensed in New Jersey and Florida and also possesses PSYPact Certification allowing for Telepsychology across an additional 38 states.
