Meagan Yarmey
PhD, RSW - Psychotherapy


Serious psychotherapy for people under real pressure.
​
I work with high-functioning professionals who are outwardly capable and inwardly exhausted; people whose thinking, performance, or sense of self has started to narrow under sustained demand.
​
My work sits at the intersection of evidence‑based psychotherapy, performance psychology, and identity‑level change. It is thoughtful, psychologically rigorous, and designed for people who want more than symptom management.
​
Who This is For
​
You may recognize yourself here:
​
-
You function well, until you don’t and when things slip, the cost is high
-
You are skilled, accomplished, and self-aware, yet privately strained
-
You are tired of managing symptoms without addressing the deeper pattern
-
You want rigor, perspective, and someone who can think with you
​
This work is not about optimization for its own sake. It’s about restoring range, clarity, and agency.
​​
How I Work
​
My approach blends evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological performance principles, and long-form thinking. Sessions are collaborative, analytical, and grounded, often focusing on:
​
-
performance-interfering thought patterns
-
identity strain and role overload
-
perfectionism and self-criticism
-
decision fatigue and values conflict
-
emotional regulation under pressure
​
This is not scripted therapy. It is responsive, strategic, and tailored to the realities of your life.
​
Credentials
​​​
I bring over 20 years of experience across clinical practice, academic teaching, supervision, and applied psychological consulting. I hold a PhD in Social Personality Psychology, an MSW in Clinical Social Work, and have worked across healthcare, education, and high-pressure professional contexts.
​
I don’t lead with credentials in sessions; but they matter when the work is complex.​
