Confident Outside, Self-Critical Inside?
I help ambitious individuals navigate anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and burnout — so you can perform with confidence and live fully, without dimming your drive.
Meagan Yarmey Ph.D., M.S.W., R.S.W

Even the most capable, driven individuals can struggle — at work, at home, and within themselves. You might think, “How can this be happening to me?” I understand the complexity of life under pressure and help you:

​

  • Quiet self-doubt and the inner critic

  • Manage anxiety, depression, and perfectionism

  • Rebuild clarity, confidence, and resilience

  • Align your personal values and 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, Tao Te Ching

  • Regulate emotions under pressure

  • Shift unhelpful thinking patterns

  • Perform at your best without losing yourself
