Confident Outside, Self-Critical Inside?
Helping ambitious professionals navigate anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt — so you can perform at your best while feeling grounded and fully yourself.
Meagan Yarmey Ph.D., M.S.W., R.S.W

Even the most accomplished, motivated individuals can feel overwhelmed — at work, at home, and within themselves. You may find yourself thinking, “Why is this happening to me?”

​

I understand the complexity of life under pressure and help you:

​

  • Quiet self-doubt, imposter syndrome and the inner critic

  • Manage anxiety, depression, stress and perfectionism

  • Rebuild clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience

  • Align your personal values with your professional ambitions

​

Outcome: Feel grounded, capable, and fully yourself — in every part of life.

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

― Lao Tzu

What Therapy With Me Feels Like

You don’t need a pep talk — you need a process that works.

​

Sessions are structured, collaborative, and practical. You’ll learn tools to:

​

  • Regulate emotions under pressure

  • Shift unhelpful thinking patterns

  • ​Strengthen confidence, resilience, and self-efficacy

  • Perform at your best without losing yourself

​​

​The goal is lasting change that supports both your wellbeing and performance.
