About Myles

Rooted in compassion, grown with care

At Beyond Roots Wellness, I believe that healing is not about fixing what's broken; it's about uncovering the strength that was always within you.

Welcome! I'm Myles McGhee, LCPC, a licensed clinical therapist with over 5 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and rediscover their sense of purpose.

My journey into therapy began with a social psychology course that sparked a deep curiosity about what shapes people, what challenges them, and what drives them. That curiosity has never left. I love learning about people and understanding the experiences and situations that have made them who they are today.

At Beyond Roots Wellness, I believe it's important to explore your roots, and then go beyond them. Where you are or where you have been does not have to define who you are. Together, we can discover or even rediscover your passion and purpose.

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your true and authentic self, while being gently challenged to grow. I work with couples and individuals across the lifespan, typically ages 14 and up.

I hold an M.S.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Illinois University and a B.S. in Psychology from Oklahoma State University.

"I absolutely LOVE Myles as a therapist. He listens to you extremely well. He never made me feel uncomfortable, and always validated me — but also has no problem calling you out if needed. Myles helped me grow tremendously. Not only did I notice huge growth, but so did the people in my circle. Highly recommend!"
