Psychology for
high-achievers
who optimize everything else.
Therapy for people who've built demanding lives — and are starting to feel what they cost.
About Dr. Marie Atallah
I built this practice because
my colleagues needed it
and couldn't find it.
I'm a licensed psychologist in California and Texas with a PhD in Clinical Health Psychology. I work with attorneys, physicians, tech founders, and senior academics — people in high-performance environments where the stakes are unusually high and there's rarely space to stop moving long enough to take stock of what it's costing them.
My training sits at the intersection of physical and psychological health. Written treatment plans, measurable goals, regular check-ins on what's actually changing.
How I work
A clinical process your
high-achieving self will
actually respect.
I work with both rigor and intention. No vague goals, no coasting.
Full clinical intake — history, patterns, context, goals.
A clinical map of what's driving the patterns you're experiencing.
Defined outcomes. Not "feel better" — specific, trackable targets.
Every 6–8 weeks: is this working? What's the evidence?
The plan updates as you do. No coasting in an approach that isn't working.
Who I work with
People for whom the stakes
are unusually high.
