Hi! I’m Dr. Megie Shean
Megie is my nickname for my formal name, Margaret. It’s like “Maggie” and “Megan” together, pronounced “Meg-y.”
Shean is an anglicized version of my family’s Irish surname, “Sheahan” (changed a few generations ago due to job discrimination). It’s pronounced “Shee-han.”
I’m a clinical neuropsychologist with over a decade of experience working with complex medical and psychiatric conditions. My approach integrates neuroscience, trauma-informed therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation in a collaborative, compassionate framework.
I’m trained in evidence-based trauma treatments, cognitive and psychological interventions, and mindfulness- and body-based approaches. Previously, I spent over six years at UCLA as a clinical instructor in Psychiatry and staff psychologist with Operation Mend, working with post-9/11 service members and Veterans. My specialties include PTSD and traumatic brain injury.
