🌟 Therapist Spotlight: Megan Bartley, LPA 🌟

Meet Megan Bartley, Licensed Psychological Associate, at our Glasgow location! 💙

Megan provides therapy for teens and adults, both in person and through telehealth. Her goal is to create a space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves—without judgment, pressure, or expectations to have everything figured out.

Megan often works with individuals navigating autism, ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. She takes a neurodiversity-affirming approach, recognizing and respecting the different ways people think, feel, communicate, and experience the world.

Her therapeutic style is collaborative, laid-back, and supportive, while still grounded in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

In addition to therapy, Megan offers autism and ADHD assessments for individuals ages 13 and older, helping clients gain greater clarity and understanding of themselves.

Whether you’re looking for support, seeking answers, or wanting practical tools to navigate everyday life, Megan is here to help you better understand yourself and move toward what matters most.

Progress isn’t always a straight line. 🌱

Healing can look like making progress, struggling again, learning something new about yourself, and finding the strength to keep going.

A difficult day, week, or season doesn’t erase the work you’ve already done.

In therapy, we often talk about nonlinear progress. Growth can include setbacks, periods where symptoms return, old coping patterns resurfacing, or times when you simply feel stuck. These moments don’t necessarily mean you’re “back at square one.” You’re experiencing them with knowledge, skills, insight, and experiences you didn’t have when you first started.

Sometimes progress looks like:
• Recognizing a trigger sooner
• Setting a boundary you couldn’t set before
• Recovering from a difficult moment a little faster
• Asking for help instead of handling everything alone
• Noticing an unhealthy pattern, even if you’re still working to change it
• Choosing to try again after a setback

Growth isn’t measured by never struggling again. Sometimes it’s measured by how you respond to yourself when you do.

Give yourself credit for every time you’ve picked yourself back up and kept going. 💛

Triggers can feel immediate. Before we even have time to fully understand what’s happening, our emotions and automatic thoughts may already be telling us what the situation means—and urging us to react.

The T.R.I.G.G.E.R. framework offers a way to slow that process down.

Instead of immediately reacting, we can pause long enough to ask:

What happened?
What am I feeling?
What am I telling myself about what happened?
Why is this affecting me so deeply?
What are the facts?
What do I need right now?
How do I want to respond?

Being triggered doesn’t mean your feelings aren’t valid. It means there may be something underneath the reaction that deserves attention.

The goal isn’t to stop having emotional reactions—it’s to understand them well enough that you get to choose what happens next.

Save this for the next time you notice yourself feeling activated, overwhelmed, hurt, or ready to react. 🤍

We are excited to welcome Ellen Mitchell, LPA, to the Cardinal Behavioral Health team!

Dual-trained in clinical and school psychology, Ellen is passionate about helping individuals survive and thrive across every stage of life. She works with children, adolescents, young adults, and families using a collaborative, strengths-based approach that emphasizes resilience, self-understanding, and whole-person well-being.

Ellen’s clinical interests include anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, executive functioning, adjustment-related concerns, resilience, and learning differences.

She believes therapy isn’t about perfection—it’s about growth, resilience, curiosity, and learning to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, balance, joy, and self-compassion.
