Nick Dewan, M.D., is a Clearwater, Florida-based psychiatrist with an international reputation spanning healthcare quality, technology, and sports psychiatry.
Dr. Dewan has been a pioneer and innovator in health care and has recently developed unique mental focusing and meditation exercises that promote wellness and healing in patients dealing with anxiety, sleep and attention deficit problems. These exercises also help serious athletes stay calm, focused and energized in competitive situations.
Currently, Dr. Dewan works with world-class golfers and tennis players from more than 20 countries at the Saddlebrook Resort, where he serves as the mental skills coach for the Arnold Palmer Golf Academy and the Harry Hopman Tennis Academy. His unique curriculum cuts across diverse cultures and is applicable to both males and females striving for optimal performance.

Prior to this, Dr. Dewan was the Assistant Women's Tennis Coach at the University of Toledo from 1983-1985 and the Assistant Men's Tennis Coach at San Diego State University from 1990-1992 where he worked with a number of NCAA All Americans. Dr. Dewan is the only psychiatrist in the world that has coached both men's and women's tennis at the NCAA Division 1 level.

When working with both professional and amateur tennis players and golfers from around the world, Dr. Dewan combines the western ideals of goal setting, intensity priming and striving for results with eastern ideals of calming, focusing the mind on the here and now, and joy for the game and has developed three CDs to help build inner strength and confidence. "Golf Dreams, "Tennis Quest," and "Ultimate Relaxation" guide listeners through proven meditation and visualization techniques to improve sports-specific performance as well as overall health and wellness.

His work in quality improvement is well known. He has worked with over 300 organizations in his career, and consulted with multiple hospital corporations, managed care companies, federal agencies, non-profit foundations and consumer groups to improve the quality of care delivered to people with psychiatric disorders. Currently, Dr. Dewan is president of the CMHI, which is actively involved in disseminating evidence-based best practices in healthcare.
