Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I work with many high-achieving, hardworking individuals who often define their identity, worth, and sense of meaning through productivity, performance, and external success. While these strengths can lead to accomplishment and reliability, they can also create pressure, burnout, and a persistent sense of never feeling “enough,” no matter how much is achieved.
Perfectionism often shows up as self-criticism, difficulty resting, fear of failure, people-pleasing, or feeling anxious even during moments of success. Many clients come to me feeling exhausted by their own standards, yet unsure how to slow down or step away from the patterns that have helped them succeed.
In our work together, we explore the deeper roots of perfectionism- often shaped by past experiences, family expectations, or learned beliefs about worth and achievement. At the same time, we focus on practical ways to challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce anxiety, and develop a more balanced and compassionate relationship with oneself.
My goal is to help clients begin to separate their identity from their productivity, reconnect with what actually matters to them, and build a life that feels not only successful on the outside, but also grounded, sustainable, and meaningful on the inside.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Holding yourself to impossible standards usually results in a lot of anxiety and procrastination rather than actual satisfaction. Feeling burned out is sometimes the next level of perfectionism. I help you untangle your worth from your productivity, allowing you to breathe a little easier without losing your drive.

Blair Pallas
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism often feels like a shield, but it’s actually a weight that leaves you feeling "less than." When the fear of mistakes becomes paralyzing, my approach helps you identify the "all-or-nothing" stories keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll practice "imperfection" at a manageable pace, shifting the focus from impossible standards to your actual values. By learning to tolerate the discomfort of being human, you’ll gain the freedom to take risks and finally show up as your authentic self.
