Meagan Yarmey PhD, MSW, RSW
About Me
I am a PhD-trained social and personality psychologist and registered clinician with a long-standing interest in how capable people come to feel constrained by their own minds.
​
My background spans doctoral research, clinical practice, teaching, supervision, and applied wellbeing design. I have worked with individuals and institutions across healthcare, education, public service, and high-achievement environments, including designing evidence-based wellbeing frameworks for post-secondary and independent school settings, and developing mental health literacy programs at the national level.​

I have maintained a Zen Buddhist meditation practice since 1996. I do not bring this into sessions as a technique. I mention it because it has shaped how I understand attention, self-regulation, and the nature of psychological suffering in ways that sit underneath the clinical work, not on top of it.
What ties my work together is a respect for intelligence, complexity, and the inner lives of people who are used to carrying a lot.
Orientation
​​
I value clarity over jargon, depth over speed, and collaboration over authority displays. Clients often describe my style as steady, thoughtful, and quietly challenging.​
