The Dallas Mavericks recently announced several additions and organizational updates to their basketball operations department, including the appointment of Dr. Ally Wade, founder and licensed psychologist with Dallas Mental Health and Performance (DMHP), as the organization’s Director of Mind Health.

Dr. Wade brings extensive experience working at the intersection of mental health, sport, and performance. Before establishing Dallas Mental Health and Performance, she served for six years as Director of Mental Health Services for SMU Athletics. She has also been part of the Mavericks’ Wellness Team and is listed on the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee Mental Health Registry.

For DMHP, this announcement highlights the practice’s continued commitment to providing specialized mental health and performance services to athletes, performers, professionals, and individuals navigating high-pressure environments. DMHP was founded by Dr. Wade in 2023 and provides both traditional mental health services and mental performance training.

Dr. Wade’s new role with the Mavericks represents an extension of her work helping individuals develop the psychological skills, emotional well-being, and mental-health support needed to navigate the demands of high-level performance.

Dallas Mental Health and Performance is excited to welcome Mr. Simon Wright to the team!

Mr. Wright, M.S. is supervised by Dr. Ally Wade, Ph.D. approaches therapy from the belief that meaningful growth happens when people feel genuinely seen, supported, and safe enough to explore both the difficult and hopeful parts of their experiences. He believes that individuals already possess the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change, and that therapy can help uncover and strengthen what is already within them. He aims to create a warm, authentic, and collaborative environment where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen their relationship with their emotions, and move toward a more grounded and values driven life.

Reach out to Mr. Wright today at 469-210-0779 or [email protected] today for a FREE consultation.

Dallas Mental Health and Performance is excited to welcome Dr. Jabari Johnson to the team!

Dr. Johnson's approach to therapy entails meeting clients where they are, considering the experiences, strengths, and challenges that shape their lives. He views therapy as a collaborative partnership rather than positioning himself as the expert, helping clients explore their experiences and pursue their goals. Because a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to this work, he emphasizes trust, openness, and genuine connection. Using an integrative approach, he draws from evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), to help clients build practical skills and create meaningful, lasting change.

Feel free to connect with Dr. Johnson on our website or reach out to him directly at 817-670-8694 or [email protected]

DMHP is pleased to welcome Dr. Sarah Tipton to the team!

Dr. Sarah Tipton is supervised by Dr. Ally Wade, Ph.D. Sarah’s therapeutic style is genuine, relational, and collaborative. She strives to create a culturally sensitive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to show up as their authentic selves and work toward meaningful goals. She aims to meet clients where they are, balancing honesty and warmth while tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs. Sarah often explores how thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationship dynamics may influence well-being, goals, and performance. She helps clients identify behaviors that align with their values while developing greater awareness, acceptance, and flexibility in how they relate to their thoughts and emotions.

Dr. Tipton currently has immediate availability for in-person and virtual sessions! Please feel free to reach out to her through our "Request Appointment" tab on our website! https://www.dallasmhp.com

DMHP is happy to introduce, Ms. Bahia Arterbery to the team!

Ms. Arterbery is supervised by Dr. Lindsey Seefeldt, Psy.D. Ms. Arterbery's approach to therapy is relational, attachment-based, and culturally grounded while tailoring therapy to each person's unique needs and goals. She believes our relationships, identities, families, cultures, and communities all shape how we experience ourselves and the world, and strives to honor the whole person rather than viewing challenges in isolation. At the heart of her work is the belief that therapy isn't about becoming someone different but reconnecting with who you are beneath the survival strategies, and experiences that may have pulled you away from your authentic self.

Ms. Arterbery currently has immediate availability for in-person and virtual sessions! Please feel free to reach out to to her through our "Request an Appointment" tab on the website! https://www.dallasmhp.com

⚽️ Mental Health Lessons from the World Cup: Stay in the Moment 🌎🏆

The best athletes in the world aren't successful because they never feel nervous—they're successful because they learn how to perform with anxiety.

Whether you're stepping onto the field, presenting in a meeting, taking an exam, or facing a difficult conversation, performance anxiety often pulls us into the future: What if I fail? What if I let everyone down?

🏟️ Try this World Cup-inspired mindfulness exercise: "Focus on the Next Play."

When anxiety starts to take over:
⚽ Take a slow breath in for 4 counts and out for 6 counts.
⚽ Identify 1 thing you can see, 1 thing you can hear, and 1 thing you can feel.
⚽ Ask yourself: "What is the next play?" (What is the one thing I need to do right now?)

World Cup athletes don't win by focusing on the final score every second of the game. They focus on the next pass, the next movement, and the next opportunity.

💚 Self-care works the same way. You don't have to solve everything today. Sometimes caring for yourself means focusing on the next small step: drinking water, taking a walk, resting, asking for support, or simply taking a breath.

Remember: Anxiety wants you to focus on outcomes.

Mindfulness helps you focus on actions.

🏆 One breath. One moment. One play at a time.

⚽💚🌎

🌈 Pride Month reminds us that self-expression is much like a garden.

No two flowers bloom in exactly the same way, and no flower has to apologize for its color, shape, or timing. Yet so many people spend years trying to trim parts of themselves to fit into someone else's idea of what a garden should look like.

Authenticity is not about becoming someone new—it's about allowing yourself to grow into who you have always been.

Our identities are also like stained glass. Each experience, value, relationship, and part of who we are creates a unique piece of the design. When sunlight shines through, it isn't the individual pieces that create beauty—it's the whole picture.

This Pride Month, may we celebrate the courage it takes to live openly, the strength it takes to be seen, and the freedom that comes from embracing our authentic selves.

You deserve spaces where you don't have to shrink, hide, or edit your colors. 🌈✨

As we move through the Memorial Day weekend, it can be helpful to make space for both reflection and rest. 🇺🇸🤍

While the holiday often includes gatherings, travel, and celebrations, it can also be an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and care for your mental and emotional wellbeing.
Here are a few ways to recharge and practice self-care this Memorial Day weekend:

🌿 Spend intentional time with loved ones
Whether it’s a backyard cookout, a phone call, or a quiet moment together, meaningful connection can help restore emotional energy.

🌿 Take time to reflect and honor
Memorial Day may bring up emotions connected to grief, loss, service, or remembrance. Allow yourself space to acknowledge and process those feelings with compassion.

🌿 Get outside and move your body
Go for a walk, spend time in nature, stretch, swim, or engage in movement that feels supportive and grounding for you.

🌿 Give yourself permission to rest
Not every moment has to be productive. Rest is an important part of emotional and physical wellness.

🌿 Set boundaries when needed
It’s okay to step away from overwhelming conversations, crowded environments, or commitments that leave you feeling emotionally drained.

🌿 Practice gratitude for the present moment
Even small moments of peace, connection, laughter, or quiet can help us feel more grounded and centered.

Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and meaningful Memorial Day weekend. ❤️💙

Panic attacks can feel overwhelming and frightening, but grounding yourself in the moment can help your mind and body regain a sense of safety. 💙

Here are a few strategies that may help during a panic attack:
🌿 Focus on your breathing
Try slow, steady breaths — inhale for 4 seconds, exhale for 6 seconds. Slowing your breathing can help calm your nervous system.
🌿 Use grounding techniques
Notice 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. This can help bring you back to the present moment.
🌿 Remind yourself that the feeling will pass
Panic attacks are intense, but they are temporary. Even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment, your body will settle again.
🌿 Release physical tension
Unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders, and place your feet firmly on the ground.
🌿 Reduce self-judgment
You do not have to “fight” the panic perfectly. Responding with compassion toward yourself can help decrease fear and shame around the experience.

If panic attacks are becoming frequent or interfering with daily life, reaching out for professional support can help you build coping tools and better understand your triggers. 🤍

Communication matters both on and off the field. 🏈💬

Whether you’re working with teammates, coworkers, friends, or family, healthy communication builds trust, strengthens relationships, and helps people feel supported and understood.

On the field, communication can look like:
🏃 Clear direction and teamwork
🏃 Encouragement during difficult moments
🏃 Staying calm under pressure
🏃 Listening and adapting quickly

Off the field, communication can look like:
✨ Expressing emotions honestly and respectfully
✨ Setting healthy boundaries
✨ Asking for support when needed
✨ Navigating conflict with empathy and understanding

Strong communication isn’t just about speaking louder — it’s about listening better, responding thoughtfully, and creating connection wherever you are. The skills we practice in high-pressure moments often carry into our everyday relationships, too. 🤍
