Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in performance enhancement, drawing from my experiences as an operational psychologist in the U.S. Army. During my military career, I worked extensively with individuals operating in high-stress environments, helping them build mental resilience, maintain focus, and perform at their peak during critical missions. These experiences have given me a unique understanding of the psychological demands of high-pressure situations, which translates seamlessly into the world of sports and performance at all levels of competition.
With advanced training in evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques, I help athletes and performers optimize their mental game. Whether you're striving to overcome mental blocks, enhance focus, or build confidence, my goal is to help you unlock your full potential. Together, we will develop a tailored approach to strengthen your mindset, improve performance, and achieve success in your sport or field.
10 Years Experience
Online in Detroit, MI Michigan
Detroit's decades of economic decline and deindustrialization have left deep marks on community mental health, with therapists frequently specializing in grief, economic trauma, and rebuilding resilience in the face of systemic change. The city has a proud and tight-knit African American community, and culturally affirming therapists who address racial trauma, intergenerational stress, and community healing are in strong demand. Detroit's revitalizing neighborhoods are also attracting a new generation of young professionals and creatives, creating parallel demand for therapists specializing in identity, career transitions, and relationships. Henry Ford Health and the Detroit Medical Center provide major institutional mental health services.
