Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like your brain is running ten tabs at once (and none of them are loading), you're in the right place. I'm Dr. Megan Marks, a licensed psychologist and owner of The Momentum Practice, where I help high-achieving adults, neurodivergent folks, and anyone navigating life transitions find clarity, confidence, and a little more calm. With over 15 years of experience and a knack for making complex challenges feel manageable, I offer a space where insight, growth, and the occasional well-timed laugh go hand in hand. If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself, losing sleep over “what ifs,” or just need someone who gets how hard it is to juggle everything, I’m here—and yes, I do speak fluent overthinking! Reaching out can feel like a big leap, but it might just be the momentum you need. Whether you're navigating burnout, big transitions, or the beautiful chaos of being human—I'm here to help. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Cheerful Heart Mental Health Counseling PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D, LPC, LPCC, NCC
Cheerful Heart was created to offer the kind of care many women need but struggle to find—care that takes women’s pain seriously, especially Black women’s pain. The practice was founded by Shakira K. O’Garro, LMHC-D, whose lived experience with severe stage IV endometriosis, adenomyosis, and medical trauma informs every layer of this work. Like many clients, she navigated years of dismissal within medical systems and discovered how deeply those experiences can impact mental health and faith.
Cheerful Heart exists so women no longer have to choose between clinical excellence and cultural or spiritual understanding. This is a space where faith questions are welcome, anger toward God is met with compassion, and healing is supported by genuine loving kindness.
