Maria C. Bruce, LMHC, NCC, MD (Argentina)

Dr. Maria C. Bruce is an executive and optimal performance coach with a background in medicine, applied psychology, and performance science. Her training includes sports medicine work with Olympic-level athletes at CONI in Rome, followed by applied psychology and nervous system–informed performance approaches. She later worked in the music industry as a label manager at Universal Music, an experience that continues to inform her work with artists, musicians, and creative professionals navigating high-pressure, performance-driven environments. Alongside her clinical and industry background, Dr. Bruce’s own entrepreneurial work has shaped her approach with founders and senior leaders. Through building projects, working with investors, and operating in fast-paced, high-responsibility settings, her coaching naturally expanded to executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals in finance, technology, and other demanding fields. Dr. Bruce provides executive and optimal performance coaching for high-achieving adults navigating complex professional and personal environments. Her work integrates applied psychology, cognitive performance tools, and nervous system–informed strategies to support clarity, execution, emotional steadiness, and sustainable performance under pressure. This coaching is structured, individualized, and science-informed — designed for individuals who are already functioning at a high level and want to refine how they operate under sustained expectations. Coaching is not psychotherapy or clinical treatment and does not involve diagnosis or crisis services.
