Theresa Melito-Conners, PhD (Dr. MC) is the founder of Dr. MC’s Self-Care Cabaret, a suite of theatre-inspired self-care and professional development services for helping professionals. The Self-Care Cabaret encompasses workshops, a podcast, and educational curricula — focused on accessible, realistic strategies that equip and empower.  Dr. MC first recognized the need for such strategies in her early days as a special education administrator.

In addition to her doctorate and published research, Theresa is a licensed K-12 counselor with a Master of Education in school counseling from Salem State University and a B.A. in theatre studies from Emerson College.
