Dr. Pletter also enjoys working with corporate clients and providing consultation services to cutting-edge software development and technology companies, particularly those leading the way in advancing innovation alongside healthy human evolution.

I am grateful to have Dr. Pletter within our local community. As a principle-centered restaurant company, we recognize the importance of prioritizing the health and well-being of our diners and our employees. A healthy work environment is crucial for achieving success. During his initial speaking engagement with us, Dr. Pletter emphasized the critical significance of mental health, equating it to physical health, and presented practical solutions to enable our community to access a range of mental health services. Healthy employees create healthy businesses, and Dr. Pletter’s message is both foundational and paramount. He has my full endorsement as a speaker and leader, and he’s great at talking with employees and leaders alike.

During the development of our parental control learning app, we sought guidance from Dr. Adam Pletter to better understand child psychology and the motivations around behavior. Our goal was to create an app that made screen time more enriching for kids while still ensuring they had fun. Dr. Pletter’s contributions went beyond the academic. He lent both his expertise and his passion for elevating the screen time experience. He helped us form a value proposition that resonates with parents and educators while empowering kids to have agency over their digital interactions.
