Stress
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
Stress doesn’t always show up as chaos—it often looks like competence. You’re juggling deadlines, relationships, responsibilities, and expectations… and holding it all together, until you’re not. Whether you’re managing a major life transition, navigating burnout, stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, or just stretched too thin by the pace and pressure of everyday life, chronic stress can leave you feeling disconnected, depleted, and overwhelmed.
I work with high-achieving adults and emerging professionals—including neurodivergent clients and those holding marginalized identities—who carry invisible layers of stress. You might be masking exhaustion, pushing through burnout, or navigating the emotional toll of systems that weren’t built with you in mind. The pressure to show up flawlessly in environments that judge you based on race, gender, sexuality, ability, or productivity can quietly erode your well-being, even as you outwardly keep performing.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients move beyond just “coping” and toward meaningful, sustainable change. We’ll explore what’s fueling your stress—not just your to-do list, but the internal and external forces behind it. That might include unrealistic standards, people-pleasing, financial strain, systemic stress, or the weight of decisions that don’t have easy answers.
With over 15 years of experience, I offer a space to pause, rest, and reconnect—not just with what’s depleting you, but with what brings you energy, joy, and purpose. Together, we’ll build insight, challenge the patterns keeping you stuck, and practice tools that support your nervous system—not just your productivity. If you’re ready to feel more centered, free, and fulfilled—I’d be honored to journey alongside you. 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.
