FACULTY – WELLNESS AND MENTORSHIP
Peter Dymock
Pete Dymock is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who holds an M.S. in MFT from California State University, Northridge. In graduate school, his clinical focus was on the intersection of masculinity, emotional intelligence and adolescent development. Before entering the field of psychotherapy, Pete spent over a decade teaching K-12 students in independent schools across New York City and Los Angeles, an experience that shaped his relational, hands-on approach to supporting young people. His work in both school-based and counseling settings includes individual, family, and teen therapy through integrative, trauma-informed, attachment-based and cognitive-behavioral frameworks. Drawing from his background in education and behavioral science, he recently founded The Mind Mentor, an executive function and performance coaching program for boys and adolescents. In his free time, Pete enjoys basketball (playing and watching), writing, reading, video editing and spending time with his two young daughters.
YEAR 4
My Course
The Mind Mentor
The Mind Mentor is a four-week immersive summer program designed to teach teen boys core executive functioning and performance tools they need to focus better, stay motivated, manage emotions and build confidence.
In Week 1, boys learn how their brain reacts to stress, frustration and distraction. They build language for their internal experience and begin using fast, science-backed reset tools to stay calm and focused. In Week 2, students learn how to shift negative self-talk, build confidence through small wins, and connect their effort to meaningful goals. In Week 3, we build the systems that help boys start tasks, stay organized, avoid overwhelm and manage screens. And in Week 4, students learn the power grit: sticking with hard things, recovering from mistakes and following through on commitments.
By the end of the program, each student leaves with their own Personal Playbook, a set of routines and mindset tools that they can actually use. The end result is a more confident, independent young man who understands himself better and feels equipped to handle the academic, social and personal challenges that lay ahead.
