Meagan Yarmey
PhD, RSW - Psychotherapy
Serious psychotherapy and applied psychology for people under real pressure.
​
I work with adults whose thinking, decision-making, or sense of self has shifted under sustained responsibility.
Often this shift happens gradually and quietly. Outwardly, they remain capable and composed. Privately, they may be managing cognitive strain, identity tension, second-guessing, or a reduced sense of psychological range.
​
I offer two closely related forms of engagement:
​
Psychotherapy for individuals navigating stress, transitions, identity questions, and emotional strain, or persistent psychological patterns.
​
Executive Psychotherapy for professionals and and leaders managing high-stakes decision-making, visibility, and complexity.
​
Both approaches are grounded in psychological science, structured and exploratory, and designed for people seeking more than symptom management or surface-level strategies.​
How the Work Begins
​
Work begins with a focused consultation to clarify context, pressure points, and what feels constrained.
There is no rush to define the problem quickly. Accuracy matters more than speed.
Sessions are structured yet responsive. Reflection is paired with applied psychological insight. We look closely and think broadly.
Early phases of work often involve:
​
-
Clarifying patterns that interfere with thinking or judgment
-
Identifying where flexibility has diminished
-
Examining stress, burnout, or identity strain
-
Establishing clear, meaningful goals
Over time, clients often report:
​
-
Greater cognitive flexibility under pressure
-
Increased steadiness in previously destabilizing moments
-
Improved emotional regulation
-
Stronger internal authority and agency
The work is precise and designed for sustainable change.
Who This is For
​
You may recognize yourself here:
​
-
You function well until you don’t, and and the cost of missteps is high
-
You are accomplished, yet privately strained
-
You are tired of managing symptoms without addressing deeper patterns
-
You want rigor, perspective, and someone who can think clearly with you
​
This work is not about optimization for its own sake. It’s about restoring clarity, psychological range, and agency where it matters.
