Anna Schick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Setting high standards for yourself, feeling like nothing you do is ever quite good enough, or constantly worrying about making mistakes can be exhausting. You may find yourself overthinking decisions, being overly critical of yourself, or struggling to relax without feeling guilty. Even when you're successful, it can be difficult to feel satisfied or recognize your accomplishments. Therapy offers a space to explore where these expectations come from, how they affect your relationships and sense of self, and why it can feel so difficult to let go of control. Together, we can work toward developing greater self-acceptance, easing the pressure you place on yourself, and finding a healthier balance between striving for success and feeling good about who you are.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Therapy can help you navigate the traps related to perfectionism, including procrastination, self-criticism, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, overthinking and fear of falling short. We can work to quiet the inner critic, address black and white thinking in evaluating yourself and your work, and find purpose driven motivation (rather than fear driven). Shifting your inner conversation can result in great relief and can unlock your creativity, reinvigorate your interest and have you feeling proud of your work and your skillset. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you to build the balanced, happy life you deserve.
