Dr. McMahon initially pursued a major in nursing while attending The University of Texas at Arlington. Though she ultimately graduated with a BS in accounting, she developed a passion for psychology, leading her to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. To support herself through this endeavor, she worked as a certified public accountant (CPA), which provided her with enough financial stability to complete her studies. Graduating in 1995, she began working in the field and has since developed a successful career.

Witnessing the measurable progress of patients through OCD therapy fills Dr. McMahon with pride, and she is glad to offer her expertise to those with this challenging disorder.
