Dr. M at Insight Thoughts Psychotherapy Services (ITPS) Inc
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPCC
You may be here because something “feels off”. Your thoughts run in circles. Your mood drops without warning. Old experiences still shape how you react, even when you want to move on. Therapy can help you make sense of all of that. I work with individuals who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and stress tied to major life changes. The goal is not to label you. The goal is to understand what drives your thoughts, emotions, and actions so you can respond with more control and less pain. I use proven methods like CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy. These approaches help us spot patterns that keep you stuck and build skills you can use in real life. We look at what is happening now, what shaped it, and what needs to change.
Your voice matters here. We decide together what you want help with and how we will work toward it. Therapy is not something done to you. It is something we do with purpose, guided by your needs. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.

CPT
Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
Clients often share that they feel at ease working with me because I bring warmth, authenticity, and genuine care into each session. I value real connection and strive to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are—without pretense or pressure. While I maintain a professional approach, I also believe that being human together matters; I’m genuine in my communication, often imperfect, and always deeply invested in helping clients feel understood and supported as they move toward healing and growth.
