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.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Perfectionism often begins as an attempt to stay safe, earn approval, or avoid disappointment, but over time it can become exhausting. Rather than fighting those perfectionistic parts of yourself, we'll become curious about what they're trying to protect and how they learned to take on that role. Together, we'll cultivate greater self-compassion and psychological flexibility so you can pursue excellence without being controlled by impossible standards. You can still have high aspirations while giving yourself permission to be fully human.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
In therapy, I help individuals understand the emotional and relational patterns beneath perfectionistic striving, so that they can relate to themselves with greater freedom, flexibility, and self-trust. The aim is not to lower one’s standards, but to loosen the grip of harsh self-demand and make room for a fuller, more livable way of being.

Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Big changes—starting high school or college, changing schools, moving, or figuring out what comes next—can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. I help teens and young adults navigate these shifts with more clarity and confidence, building coping skills, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction so you can move forward feeling more grounded.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.
