“It’s scary as hell, but be vulnerable.” – Dr. Tess Palmateer
In this episode of the Peak Sports Psychiatry Podcast, Dr. Mark Allen and Dr. Tommy Horn sit down with Dr. Tess Palmateer, the Mental Health Coordinator for the New York Mets.
Tess shares her journey from being a collegiate volleyball player to pioneering mental health support in both college athletics and professional sports. The conversation covers how universal screening reduces stigma, the pressures of NIL and social media, the pivotal role of athletic trainers, and what it takes to sustain mental health across a grueling 162-game season.
Whether you’re a student-athlete, a clinician, or simply passionate about sports and mental health, Tess’s insights offer practical takeaways for supporting athletes at every level.
