Testimonials
“Dr. P,
Thank you so much for all your resources to help Jackson. When we came to you and your staff a year ago, we were really concerned about him, and running short on new ideas to help him. Obviously, we’re not just concerned about sports psychology, but Jackson’s life in general. To me, his progress both emotionally and cognitively have improved so much over the past 12 months. We thank you for all your help and support! Special thanks to Kaleigh for working with him routinely, her patience, and support of Jackson!
We’d like to keep it going!
Thanks Dr. P!”
“I forgot to tell you in person today, so I wanted to make sure and tell you Happy (early) Birthday! We are so glad you were born. The changes we have already seen in our son at home are miraculous in our eyes. I’ve told you before, you are an answered prayer and as I finish your book I am reaffirmed. Thank you for everything!!”

“Happy birthday to one of the best humans I know! You truly see people, love unconditionally, spread joy, light up the room and I am so damn lucky to have you in my life. I hope that God blesses you beyond measure. I love you so so so much. Thank you for your friendship. I’ve had a rough couple weeks and thinking of you brings a smile to my face. 💕🥺”
“Dr. P- I meant what I said on the phone yesterday. You are the GOAT. You told me the first time we talked that I was angry, but we could fix it and I thought you were crazy. But you damn sure changed me and for all the better. Blessed our paths crossed and would love to continue our journey together.”
“I love you for your compassion, your love for people, your ability to give to so many with you words, your venerability, your authenticity and ability to express heartfelt joy, your laugh, and how you’ve touched my life in many ways.”
“I just threw the best game of my life! Thank you!! I just threw a complete game, giving up 0 earned runs.”

“Dr. P, I know you get a lot of compliments on your work and how you reach people but I’ve come to this conclusion: there is literally no one like you on this planet.”
“Just had my first 2 games back and I balled. I did my performance script before both games and have never felt more confident going into a game.”
“Rave and reviews for you tonight on our text line! Rightly so. People loved the way you discussed a delicate subject [Racism and Ethnocentrism] with such sensitivity and insight.”
-Sandy Clough, 45 year Sport Talk Veteran

Congratulations! I can’t wait to listen. You are a true expert in your field and have changed so many peoples lives for many years. I’m just so impressed by all you do and your knowledge and expertise. You have a heart of gold and your mission in life is to help people. You are so passionate about what you do and there’s so many things you can offer, that most people don’t even know some of these things you offer even exist. I sure didn’t until the last couple of years. I’m very proud of you Rick👏
“This float tank experience was as if I was floating in my mother’s womb! It allowed me to tune out the outside world and rejuvenate my body and mind! This weightless sensation was like none other. As such, I made some really good decisions in the float tank, merely because I was able to filter out so much external noise that had been haunting me in recent weeks. I was very happy with my experience at ThinkOne and highly recommend.”
“Dr. P.!
Thank you! Words cannot express gratitude for the help you have given Sammi and I both. Watching my daughter come alive again in the last two weeks exceeds all expectations we had upon our arrival. Sammi has gone from sad, self-doubting teenager to a positive, upbeat, creative human being. Her light is shining brighter now that it ever has.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ThinkOne will always hold a place in my heart.” ~Love Dianna
“Dr. P.
I hope everything is going great for you and your family. I wanted to let you know I found out yesterday I received early acceptance to The University of New Mexico School of Law for fall 2022. Thank you for everything you have helped me accomplish! Take care.” ~Aiden Kneller
“What’s up Doc? I hope you’re having a great day man. I just wanted to reach out today and say thanks for helping me realize and unlock the power within to endure and overcome the challenges that I’ve faced and continue to face in life. Thanks for the tools you’ve equipped me with to be able to experience the greatness and joy in every moment that life offers. Everyday I am reminded of the work we put in and the time we spent sorting through the fray. Thankful to be able to call you a friend. Love you man.”
“Doc worked with me late in the season to teach me mental imagery. The results speak for themselves. I flat-out dominated in the post-season. Doc is a cool as they come.”
“DrP! Really appreciate the help you’ve been over the past couple years. From improving my family life to helping me manage my work life, there is no shortage of ways you’ve made a difference. My ability to manage family stress has never been better and my income has over doubled because of your help and the tools you’ve provided me with. In addition to that, personally I’ve had a couple of unexpected side benefits – I’ve lost almost 20 pounds from being able to manage my time and stress less – it’s amazing when you have a clear mind how much easier it is to something on accident like eating healthy. Moreover, my blood pressure is down 20pts and my resting heart rate (something I track with my wearable device) has been more stable – no more heart rate spikes from pressure. I’ve gone from around 200hrs/month in an accelerated heart rate zone to around 50hrs/month. And that’s with exercising more. Goes to show you how often you can feel stressed and what it does to the body both physically and mentally. Again, appreciate all the help and looking forward to continuing to grow.”
Dr. P:
“We just got done with our National Conference and viewing your keynote presentation; it was amazingly well received. Your energy, passion, and communication skills ignited the conference and individual participants. Your experience as a performance [mentalist] in sports and organizations around the world is evident in your presentations and expression of living life at 212!
Dr P, I just got off the phone with other executives across our organization nationwide and they are excited to use you in other motivational, presentational platforms going forward.
Your energy and passion for life; and, organizational performance, is second to none.”
Thank you from the bottom of our heart at McDonalds Operators Group.
“As a former college football player, I know all too well many of the highs and lows of performance both academically and athletically. So when I decided to seek out a practitioner to help my son and daughter, I went to the best! My daughter who is a division one volleyball player and my son who has the potential to be a division one player, needed the work from the neck up. I heard about this guy named Dr. Perea who has worked for the Denver Broncos, the Cleveland browns, the Colorado Rockies and the Denver Nuggets. We thought maybe he is only for the pros but he is not! He is for high school, college, and adolescent student/athletes too. I got to tell you that it is the best money I have ever spent! He has helped my son and daughter get their head right, get their thoughts right, get their perception right, so they can be the very best student-athletes they can be!
If I were you, I would take them to ThinkOne and Dr. P. The facility is top notch; its world-class and they have so many different modalities there to treat the mind and body, you will not be disappointed!”
Aaron Cole, proud parent of some high performing Units.
“Wanted to thank you again for spending time with us today. It was truly inspiring and uplifting. Your book and personalized autograph was cherished by everyone. Thank you for keeping it real!”

“The Denver Fire Department was co-recipient of the 2019 Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes Fire Service Safety Leadership Award.
The Denver Fire Department earned this National Award in 2019. The National Award came after several years of hard work and collaboration to provide the members with a “Total Wellness Program” that included a physical and mental health program along with cancer awareness and prevention. The Denver Fire Department started the three-year mental health emphasis on suicide prevention, grief recognition and then performance psychology. Dr. Perea and his staff worked with and trained the entire Denver Fire Department in the third year with the same techniques used for professional athletes to maximize performance psychologically.
The Training took several months and was very well received. Dr. Perea and his staff spent a lot of time riding along at different fire houses to understand the job and immerse themselves in the culture to maximize the training experience. Dr. Perea and his staff continued to work with Denver Fire by training each new Recruit class in mental health and performance psychology.
It was an enlightening experience working with Dr. Perea and his training was exceptional.”
Scott Heiss
Division Chief, Safety and Training Denver Fire Department (Retired)
“Being a part of Dr. Perea’s presentations is unlike any experience you’ve ever had. He provides an unconventional approach to performance psychology. His passion for his work and helping others cultivates inspiration and motivation. Being the most energetic [mentalist] out there, he engages his audience and creates an interactive environment. His relatability and personalization attracts others and captivates attention. Dr. Perea’s presentations will challenge your way of thinking and will leave you in awe and inspired.”
“Dr. Rick Perea is a very knowledgeable and effective mental enhancement expert. He provided our daughter with a systematic and comprehensive plan to help her get past some of the mental blocks she was experiencing. As a volleyball player, there are many ebbs and flows to the game, especially mentally. His systems approach is dynamic and far reaching and clearly addresses these flows of the game. We recommend his services wholeheartedly.”
“Dr. P is an amazing person. His facility has everything I need to get me right mentally and physically. He is the first [mentalist] I have ever met who has a little Swag!”
Dear Dr. Perea,
“I want to thank you and your stellar staff for guiding my daughter back to her cheerful and kind self.
I feel blessed to have found ThinkOne, The Behavior Design Specialists. My daughter had been to a different practice and it was suggested she see a Psychiatrist to be put on Anti-Depressants for Night Terrors. I was not convinced that was the right decision for her.
Thankfully, I found your practice and my daughter was able to do Neurofeedback, Performance Coaching, Alpha stim, and the other unique modalities offered instead of Anti-Depressants.
I am once again enjoying my 17year-olds sparkling personality!
Also, thank-you for The Gift of The Singing Bowls. I still hear them resonating within me. I feel so blessed I experienced them with you because I am able to let go and be. I would not have that level of comfort with anyone else, to be so vulnerable, and trust. I appreciate your kindness, expertise, wisdom, and knowledge. I admire your kind loving, soul.”
Forever Grateful,
Kelley Pico
“It is wonderful to see children and adults learn to regulate their brainwaves using Neurofeedback. This is the most exciting thing I have done in my career as a [mentalist]. Neurofeedback empowers people to make changes and achieve things that were just not possible for them before.”
“Yo!! I just wanted to say how thankful I am to have you in my life. Thank you for all that you have taught me and all that you do! Thank you for everything. Love you brother! Your work as a performance consultant with Coda Signature is nothing less than sensational and provocative. Every member of the executive team raves about how you make them think, create, and process. Keep changing people and organizations.”
“What can say other than Doc is my boy. He is a real guy who once played and admits his own faults. I love the fact that he wants me to be a leader and I am willing to accept that role.”
“Dr. Rick Perea has tremendous communication skills and his ability to connect with people from all socioeconomic backgrounds is truly unique. His passion for excellence clearly carries over into ThinkOne. He has inspired our players and coaching staff with his effective and progressive strategies toward motivation and performance.”
“Dr. Richard Perea is an expert contributor to our sport-talk radio show in Denver. He has added depth and expert commentary regarding how mental enhancement in sport contributes to competence and overall success. His expertise has really added a new level of understanding to our show.”
“It changed my life! I found freedom from prescription medication, insomnia, anxiety, fear, bipolar mood swings, and anger. It opened my brain and allowed me to connect with a higher power. My entire life has improved so drastically. I no longer feel like I am disconnected. I have control over my emotions. Even my balance and coordination improved!” (25-year old female, bipolar disorder)“I was on so many drugs (Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Wellbutrin, Clonidine, Risperdal, Trilepal). I had no friends and always got into trouble at school. After neurotherapy I feel calm and happy. Life is better, I have friends, I am doing good in school. I get along with my parents and siblings better than ever before. I am off almost all of my medication.”
“I love working with Doc; his shit really works. After working with him, I had my best June in years!”
“From start to finish the support and education I received was life changing! I am eternally grateful for the person I’ve become and the eye opening conversations and tools Gina provided and had with me. It was easy to open up to both of them and through that my Neurofeedback sessions were even more successful! I loved coming here and I’m going to miss you!”
“Dr.P, and Rachel have helped me perform my best as a Bronco. Their work in coaching and neurofeedback have helped me focus in situations that used to rattle me.”
“Dr. P. and (ThinkOne) are cutting edge! It is using the latest technology to regulate our brainwaves without medication or other stimulants. I wish I knew about this earlier in my career! I highly recommend their services and coaching!”
“Working with Doc P has helped me to attain a mentality that has allowed me to perform at my highest level. When I started working with Doc, I was too focused on the wrong things and didn’t take time to enjoy the moment or appreciate my accomplishments and abilities. I had allowed negative thoughts and anxiety to become a part of my game, and I knew that this was holding me back from being my best. I could do better. Since starting to work with Doc my mindset has been transformed and I have been given a mental toolbox to handle any situation. Whether it was teaching me visualization techniques such as SIT or recapping my mental performance in a game or practice, Doc helps me to constantly push my boundaries and improve not only as a player but as a person. The techniques and lessons he has taught me I will carry with me throughout my life on and off the field.”
– Sam Young, OT, Las Vegas Raiders
“Thank you for everything you are doing and have done for my daughter. It means so much to have such great people care for her. Everyone at ThinkOne has such a passion and it shows in the care for your patients. It brings me to tears to know she is getting the help she needs and I truly see this changing our lives!”
“I have truly learned so much about human performance from Dr. Perea. From the first time he was on our radio show, he caused me to think outside the box and consider performance from a unique perspective. I have referred him to some of the top coaches and executives in the industry; he is that good!”
“ThinkOne and Dr. P. have introduced me to an amazing therapy called Neurofeedback. In just a few sessions, I already feel better and can’t wait to get on the field and play better than I ever have. Everyone in the NFL, and all people who perform should be doing this work to be your best!”
“Doc has been a huge energy boost to our team; he always is thinking of ways to motivate us and connect with us. I love Doc.”
“Not only is Dr. Perea an amazing professor, he is also one of the most amazing human being I have ever met in my life. I wish he taught every single one of my classes, because there is no professor that can compare to him. He cares so much about his students as people first. I had a truly amazing experience in his class.”
“I was really struggling to find my spots earlier in the season. Doc and I sat down and had a heart-to-heart and he got me right. He is really good at what he does.”
“Neurotherapy has given my life back. I was so depressed and lethargic I had to force myself to get out of bed in the morning. Now, I am up each day with a smile on my face, raising my daughter like I always wanted to!”
“Coming from the 49ers, I did not have this type of mental guru who could help me understand focus and attention. Dr. P. is not only a great mental guy, he is a good person as well. I recommend him to anyone wanting to take it to the next level.”
“In my 38 years of practice, I have never seen any treatment that comes close to producing the results that Neurofeedback offers…I have seen results achieved in days and weeks that previously took months and years to achieve, using the best methods previously known to us.”
“Huge Thank You to Dr. P for allowing my son, Korey, to use the Float Pod as a form of recovery. Being a highly competitive High School athlete, his body takes a beating and the Float Pod is perfect to help flush out lactic acid from muscles and promote recovery faster. Plus it allows him to unwind and refocus his energy after a long, hard practice. I love the fact that we have the ability to access such wonderful options for our younger athletes!! THANK YOU!!!”
– Mother of a High School Athlete
“I never really believed in the mental game until I met Dr. P.. He not only helped me implement tools that have taken my game to a new level, he has shown me how to use tapping to help me perform at peak levels.”
“I totally trust Dr. P. From day one he put himself out there and was honest about his faults. He has not only helped with on the field stuff, but off the field stuff too. Cool dude.”
“Dr.P has helped my son John in many ways. His performance on the court improved almost overnight. After following Dr.P’s protocol, his play took on new meaning and value. He also helped our family reach a level of balance. Cant thank him enough.”
“Man, Dr. P. has really helped me get right mentally. He helped me get centered the night before the Super Bowl and I played one of my best games of the year on the biggest stage. He is my homeboy!”
Dr. Perea:
“I just wanted to say you did an amazing job on the radio today. Every time I listen to you, I feel like I can accomplish anything I set my mind to do. You are truly blessed and remarkable at what you do.”
“I had an opportunity to participate in this awesome workshop presented by Dr. Perea. I was challenged as a parent to be a better support system for my athlete. While I thought that I was doing a great job, as I forced to take an introspective look only to see that there was much room for improvement. As I implement the skills and strategies that I received from this workshop, I believe that the sky is the limit for my athlete. This may not look like what someone else would determine that it should be, but she with her drive and my support she will be all that she can be. Thanks Dr. Perea.”
“Dr. P. is an amazing speaker. He reached us in ways I did not think were possible. He provided so much valuable knowledge but was also very honest and humanistic about his own mistakes as a father of a division 1 athlete. He is heaven sent. His seminar is a must for parents who are serious about raising and adolescent athlete.”
“Doc has really helped me get back on track where I was back in 2013. He techniques are cutting edge. He is a fun guy to be around.”
“Dr. Perea doesn’t teach only public speaking, he teaches you to how to be a human, how to think for yourself, how think critically. You can learn so much more from him besides just public speaking. It is not easy to explain what kind of person and professor he is, you need to take a class with him to understand. He is someone you want to meet.”
“I saw you present yesterday at Peak Athletics; It was one of the most life changing sessions I have been a part of in a long time. You are an amazing speaker.”
“Front Range had the pleasure of having Rick Perea of ThinkOne present their Sports Parent Workshop to our club parents just before the beginning of our 2013-2014 season. The unanimious feedback from the attending parents was so positive that we intend to have ThinkOne return for a follow up session shortly. We all agreed that this workshop was full of invaluable content and very well presented.
Thanks, Rick. Look forward to our next session!”
“As a competitive business in the 21st Century, I cannot afford to have my employees underachieve or under-perform. ThinkOne has been instrumental in helping us form strategic alliances and procedures to motivate our personnel in the organizational framework. ThinkOne is a highly energetic and competent organization that can help any business or organization wanting to maximize their potential through emphasizing performance psychology. We highly recommend their services!”
“I have known Dr. Rick Perea for over 30 years. His energy and passion are unmatched. If you are looking for someone to educate, motivate & inspire your organization, Dr. P & ThinkOne is your choice. He is as professional as they come!”
“I had the privilege of attending Dr. Rick Perea, Ph.D. work shop this past Saturday. I always thought I was a great parent to my athlete, just to find out I could have been more.
There are times we as parents (coaches) wonder how come our athlete performing at the high level during practice sessions and seem to loose confidence or have a performance issues during the game?
Where did her skills go during the competition?
As the great parents we are we come to the rescue : we rush to schedule more private lessons, extra strengthening classes, heart to heart talk … maybe even blaming the coach, but none of it seems to help. Our athlete seem to be missing the magic ingredient that propels her to the next level …
How can we as parents HELP our athlete to get to the next level? How can we help our athlete becoming the highly motivated, confident, efficient performer?
Attend Dr. Perea workshop!!! Let Dr. Perea teach you – give you the tools so you can be more to your athlete.
Attending Dr. Perea work shop gave me the knowledge and the tools, to truly understand what my role is as a parent in helping my athlete to be all she (he) can be.
Dr. Perea help me realize I can be more to my athlete. I have the tools now to be ALL I can be to my athlete.”
“I am so glad I met Dr.P. He influences me to think about things from many different angles. He has helped me expose my blind spots and continually challenges me to get better in the mental processes. I am clearly a better Coach, Husband and Father because of his Teaching and Coaching.”
“Dr. P. has taught me techniques that help get focused on the process and not worry about outcomes. It has made a huge difference in my game. Plus, he is cool as hell. You know Dr. P is amazing at what he does. In fact, we would honestly not would have won SuperBowl 50 with Dr. P.”
“Dr. Rick Perea was great meeting with my son and family and really helping him translate his skills into improved performance on the court. At some point the game becomes predominately mental, and Dr. Perea’s approach clearly helped him become more proficient in basketball and the classroom.”
“Dr.P and Rachel have pushed me to get better every day. Their coaching and neurofeedback work have improved my ability to focus and perform at peak levels. I truly recommend their services.”
“On behalf of the Mile High American GI Forum, “THANK YOU” Dr. P for an outstanding workshop. Understanding the dynamics of Transformational Leadership and Reflective Practice was an eye opener for all who participated. Thank you for awakening our inner self and helping us find our way back to an organization we care deeply about.”
“Having our team work with Dr. Perea has been a great enhancement and addition to Metro State Women’s Basketball. In addition to giving our players an overview of sports psychology, Dr. P. has given our players the mental tools and strategies to excel in high level competition and give us that extra edge to help us achieve our goals.”
“Dr P: We have been so blessed to meet you. Your work with us has been invaluable. Our players really like you and your protocols have put us in a position to have the first winning season in ten years. Your work played a role in this success. Your value to our program is immeasurable.”
“Doc worked with me all summer in 2015 and got me in a great spot for success. When it came time for me to take the team to a higher level, I was totally present and ready to excel mentally. He has given me the tools to be the best I can be from the neck up.”
“I always knew the mental side of the game was important. Dr.P. showed me how it is vital to injury recovery and maintaining a positive mind-set. He is a good dude!”
“Working with ThinkOne has been an eye opening experience. We did not realize how much pressure we could put on our son as parents. We have now learned how to relax, and let him figure things out on his own. He has shown the ability to overcome many of his anxieties by using simple techniques taught during his time with Dr. Perea. I was amazed at how immediate some of them are. Our son is now having more fun again. We are seeing improvements in sport performance and more importantly in the classroom.”
“Dr. P. has helped me from day one. He took a raw talent and fined tuned my mental approach to the game and gave me the tools to become supremely confident. He is the bomb.”
“Dr.P and Rachel have given me the tools I need to perform at peak levels. Their neurofeedback work is cutting edge and has really given me a clarity and focus that was absent.”
“Doc worked with me in Spring Training and taught me mental protocols that have really enabled me to be the pitcher I knew I could be. He is my guy.”
“My son is a D1 wrestler at the University of Arizona. I entered this seminar thinking that I knew how to parent an athlete. I was wrong. I made several crucial mistakes along the way and Dr. Perea helped me to identify them. Parents play a critical role in an athletes career and life. One of the points that stood out to me is “letting your child skin his knees”. I am one of those helicopters parents who feels that being a good mom is to hover continuously over their child in an effort to protect them. What I was actually doing was preventing my child from becoming an independent person and a happy athlete. I will admit some of the issues we had with our son are because of our parenting. I am going to use my new knowledge to help my younger athlete be the best she can be. I am also going to change the way I approach parenting with my College student as well. I feel that every parent with an athlete should attend this eye opening seminar. Thank you Dr. Perea for opening my eyes to a more positive way of parenting.”
“Dr. P., Thank you for all you have done for me and my family. I really want to thank you as this whole thing (consultation) has really changed my life! Again, THANK YOU!!”
