My name is Vin Infante, and I’m here to challenge the way the world understands mental health and mental performance.

Because somewhere along the way, we were taught they are separate.

​

They’re not.

​

If you’re on this page, you probably want the long story - so here it is.

​

I grew up a prisoner to my own mind.

​

I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and panic disorder. I lived with suicidal ideation, self-harm, and a constant sense of dread. I know what it feels like to be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. To want more from life, but have no idea how to get there.

​

Survival wasn’t a phase for me.
It was my baseline.

​

Every. Single. Day.

​

Most of my early life was spent in the offices of therapists, guidance counselors, and anyone willing to listen. What most people don’t know is that even then, I knew I wanted to become a therapist—and a firefighter.

​

At 18, I entered the world of mental health. I worked in hospitals, became a personal trainer, and began pursuing my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I immersed myself in behavioral psychology, graduated with recognition from Psi Chi national honor society, and presented research on substance abuse and mental health at my undergraduate conference.

​

On paper, everything looked right.

​

Internally, it wasn’t.

​

I went on to earn my Master of Social Work with a clinical focus from Hunter College. By 23, I was fully licensed as a psychotherapist.

​

And that’s when I realized something critical:

​

No one was coming to save me.

​

So I stopped identifying with my diagnoses and started taking responsibility for my life.

​

That decision changed everything.

​

I entered a deep personal development journey—studying stoicism, self-mastery, neuroscience, behaviorism, and human performance. At the same time, I explored nearly every corner of the mental health system: inpatient, outpatient, clinics, homeless shelters, the Department of Education, ABA, home-based therapy, and private practice.

​

Each experience taught me something valuable.

​

None of them felt complete.

​

Desiring more, I qualified for and joined New York’s Bravest, becoming a firefighter with the FDNY—just as COVID hit. The FDNY trained me in leadership, pressure, decision-making, and brotherhood in ways no classroom ever could.

​

At the same time, I was building my coaching practice and became certified through Tony Robbins’ training program.

​

Yet again, something was missing.

​

That’s when I saw the cracks.

​

Therapy went deep—but often lacked forward momentum.
Coaching drove action—but often ignored unresolved internal conflict.
Mentorship offered wisdom—but lacked structure and precision.

​

So I asked a simple question:

​

Why hasn’t anyone integrated all three—properly?

​

The answer was simple.

​

Most people can’t.

​

I could.

​

And I did.

​

I began integrating therapeutic depth, strategic mentorship, and high-performance coaching into a single, seamless methodology. The results were undeniable.

​

Clients stopped choosing between healing and achievement.
They gained clarity and execution.
Insight and structure.
Depth and performance.

​

This hybrid became the bridge.

​

I knew in my bones this was bigger than me.

​

I resigned from the FDNY and stepped fully into my work as a Mental Performance Coach, bringing this integrated approach to founders, entrepreneurs, leaders, organizations, and high performers.

​

Today, I work with clients ranging from pre-seed startups to multi-billion-dollar companies.

​

I went from having panic attacks over daily decisions…

to helping leaders make the most consequential decisions of their lives.

​

That is my WHY.

​

I do this because I know what it feels like to be trapped inside your own mind—wanting more, knowing you’re capable of more, and not knowing how to access it.

​

My mission is simple:

​

To change the way the world experiences mental health and mental performance—and to impact one billion lives in the process.

​

If you’re reading this, you’re already part of that mission.

​

Welcome to the journey.
Welcome to the Billion.
