Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
Perfectionism often arises from internalized expectations and self-critical patterns that create stress and self-doubt. I help clients explore the parts of themselves driving these tendencies and the underlying emotions behind them. Together, we work toward self-compassion, balance, and the ability to pursue goals without being ruled by fear or self-judgment.

Janika Perry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS
The pressure to be perfect can lead to anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt. We help clients challenge unrealistic expectations, increase self-compassion, and embrace progress rather than perfection.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Perfectionism often looks like high standards on the surface, but underneath can be a fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. I help you understand the roots of these patterns while gradually loosening their grip. Together, we will work toward a more flexible, self-compassionate way of relating to yourself and your goals. This way you can still be productive but also feel more at peace.

Athens is home to the University of Georgia and has cultivated a reputation as one of the South's most vibrant college cities, with a legendary music scene—birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s—a strong arts community, and a progressive political culture that contrasts with the surrounding rural Georgia context, producing a city with a well-developed and diverse therapy landscape relative to its size. UGA's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is the primary mental health resource for the city's enormous student population, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including university staff, the arts and music community, and permanent residents. The sharp economic inequality between the university and creative communities and the city's lower-income and Black neighborhoods is an important dimension of the mental health landscape, and therapists in Athens work across a wide range of economic and cultural contexts. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, creative community stress, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, racial equity, and the challenges of a city where prosperity and poverty exist in close proximity.
