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.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS STARTING SEPTEMBER 2024!
Sometimes, life takes us by surprise and puts us in unexpected situations. We often find ourselves pondering, "What should I do next? Where do we go from here?" The pressures of conforming to societal expectations can be overwhelming, as we question our desired path versus the one others expect from us.

I specialize in working with clients who experience these challenges and are ready to embark on a journey towards finding solutions. Through therapy, I can reignite hope in your life. Together, we can equip you with the necessary tools to navigate insecurities and foster strong and fulfilling relationships. My expertise lies in helping couples and individuals overcome obstacles in their lives and relationships.

With the convenience of 24/7 online scheduling, flexible evening appointments, and the ability to connect with clients from any city in Texas and South Carolina, I strive to make therapy more accessible.

McAllen is the largest city in the Rio Grande Valley, a predominantly Spanish-speaking border region where the daily realities of life on the US-Mexico border—immigration, family separation, cross-border economic uncertainty, and the psychological stress of living in a highly scrutinized border community—shape the mental health landscape in ways that are unlike those of any other part of Texas. Spanish-language therapy is not merely preferred but essential in McAllen, and the demand for bilingual practitioners far outpaces supply in a region that is chronically underserved for mental health professionals per capita. The Rio Grande Valley ranks among the most underserved regions in the country for mental health care, and while health systems like DHR Health and South Texas Health System provide some behavioral health services, many residents go without needed support. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related anxiety and trauma, family separation stress, economic uncertainty, and the complex identity challenges of life in a bicultural, binational border community.
