Hi, I’m Meagan
Helping Ambitious Individuals Thrive — In Work and Life
Helping You Thrive, Inside and Out
I’m Dr. Meagan Yarmey, a PhD-trained clinician and Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting high-achieving and ambitious individuals who feel the weight of pressure, expectations, and self-doubt.
​
My work is rooted in psychology — how people think, feel, behave, and perform under stress — and I integrate this with evidence-based therapy. This means you’re not just getting traditional talk therapy. You’re getting a blend of psychological science, performance strategies, and practical tools that help you create real, lasting change.
​
I help you:
​
-
Build authentic confidence and self-trust
-
Quiet self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and a harsh inner critic
-
Manage anxiety, stress, perfectionism, and burnout
-
Strengthen emotional resilience and clarity
-
Balance ambition with wellbeing — without losing your edge
​
Outcome: Feel grounded, capable, and fully yourself — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Why I do This Work
Even the most competent, driven people can struggle. I understand what it feels like to hold yourself to high standards while trying to keep everything together publicly.
​
I help you:
​
-
Make sense of internal pressure and overthinking
-
Break out of perfectionism and chronic self-criticism
-
Navigate anxiety, low mood, and emotional overwhelm
-
Rebuild clarity, resilience, and confidence
-
Align your values, wellbeing, and professional goals
​​
My goal is to help you move through life with more steadiness, self-understanding, and confidence — not less ambition.
​

A Little About Me
I bring a mind-body perspective from Zen Shiatsu, yoga, and mindfulness. I’m also a solo parent who loves cooking, hiking, and photography — practices that keep me grounded and connected.
​
