Psychodynamic
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.

Psychodynamic
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I believe that psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to examine your life story and in the process, gain new perspective and insight to re-write it and create a new narrative. While you may come to therapy with a problem to explore and address, I will also help you identify your personal character strengths and ways to nurture them, in order to support your personal growth and achieve your goals. I am a warm and supportive psychotherapist with an eclectic therapuetic approach, using both Western evidence based interventions as well as Eastern treatment approaches to help promote your healing and growth. I believe that collaboration, openness, curiosity and humor are key ingredients to a successful therapeutic experience. Psychotherapy is an adventure and I look forward to walking by your side on your chosen journey.

11 Years Experience
Online in Chattanooga, TN Tennessee
Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable urban transformation over the past two decades — from a polluted post-industrial city to a nationally recognized model of revitalization anchored by the Tennessee Aquarium, a thriving outdoor economy, and a world-class broadband infrastructure — and its therapy community reflects a city coming into its own, with growing demand from young professionals, creatives, and outdoor enthusiasts relocating from other metros. The city has significant African American communities in North Chattanooga and other historically Black neighborhoods, and therapists offering culturally affirming care and racial identity work are an important part of the local landscape. CHI Memorial Hospital and Erlanger Health System provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Chattanooga's outdoor recreation culture — anchored by Lookout Mountain, the Tennessee River Gorge, and proximity to Appalachian trails — shapes a therapy community with distinct interest in the intersection of nature, physical health, and mental wellbeing.
