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!

Feel like you are taking care of everything for everyone and have nothing left for yourself?

Stress
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
When demands keep piling up, chronic stress can begin to affect mood, sleep, focus, and overall well-being. Many people continue pushing through responsibilities while quietly feeling overwhelmed or stretched too thin. I help clients understand how stress is impacting their functioning and develop more sustainable ways to manage pressure while protecting their mental health.
6 Years Experience
Online in Lexington, KY Kentucky
Lexington sits at the center of Kentucky's Bluegrass region with a character distinct from Louisville — the University of Kentucky drives a significant student and young professional population alongside a traditional agricultural and equestrian community. The city's proximity to Appalachia means therapists frequently encounter the mental health effects of the region's opioid crisis, intergenerational poverty, and community grief tied to economic decline. UK HealthCare — the University of Kentucky's academic medical system — provides institutional mental health resources, with private practices concentrated in Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and Hamburg Pavilion. Lexington's horse industry also supports a niche clientele of equestrian athletes and industry professionals navigating performance pressure and career identity.
