Meagan Yarmey
PhD, RSW - Psychotherapy


Serious psychotherapy and applied psychology for people under real pressure.
​
I work with adults, professionals, and leaders whose lives and work carry real responsibility. Many are outwardly capable and inwardly exhausted, noticing that their thinking, performance, or sense of self has begun to narrow under sustained demand.
​
My practice offers two closely related forms of work:
​
Psychotherapy, for individuals navigating stress, transition, identity questions, and emotional strain as life and work demands change.
​
Psychological performance and role-focused work, for professionals and leaders managing high-stakes decision-making, visibility, and complexity.
​
Both are grounded in psychological science and designed for people who want more than symptom management or surface-level strategies.​
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 psychological range, clarity, and agency.
​​
How I Work
​
My approach blends evidence-based psychotherapy, applied psychological science, and performance-informed 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 or generic coaching. It is responsive, thoughtful, 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.​
