Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You’ve checked the boxes, followed the plan, and built a life that should feel satisfying—but something still feels off. Whether you're questioning your current career, feeling burned out, or wondering if it’s too late to pivot, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals and emerging adults navigate career confusion, misalignment, and the pressure to have it all figured out.
At The Momentum Practice, career counseling isn’t just about résumés and job titles—it’s about reconnecting with yourself and redefining what success actually means to you. Career concerns often run deeper than needing a new job. You may feel stuck, lost in self-doubt, or like you're quietly living out someone else’s story—but change is possible. Together, we’ll explore your values, strengths, fears, and options so you can make choices that feel both purposeful and aligned with who you really are.
We’ll work through the mental spin and emotional weight that often come with career uncertainty, and focus on helping you feel more confident, clear-headed, and grounded in your next step. I support clients through college-to-career transitions, work-life burnout, and brave pivots into entrepreneurship. Career indecision can be exhausting, isolating, and full of internal pressure—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. With over 15 years of experience, I bring insight, humor, and concrete tools to help you build a career that reflects who you are—not just who you’ve been trying to be. If you’re ready to feel less stuck and more certain of your direction, let’s talk. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Athens is home to the University of Georgia and has cultivated a reputation as one of the South's most vibrant college cities, with a legendary music scene—birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s—a strong arts community, and a progressive political culture that contrasts with the surrounding rural Georgia context, producing a city with a well-developed and diverse therapy landscape relative to its size. UGA's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is the primary mental health resource for the city's enormous student population, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including university staff, the arts and music community, and permanent residents. The sharp economic inequality between the university and creative communities and the city's lower-income and Black neighborhoods is an important dimension of the mental health landscape, and therapists in Athens work across a wide range of economic and cultural contexts. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, creative community stress, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, racial equity, and the challenges of a city where prosperity and poverty exist in close proximity.
