Angie Yemma
Therapist, LCAT, BCDMT
From the outside, it may look like you’re doing everything right. You work hard, care deeply, show up for others, and hold yourself to high standards. You notice the details, strive to do your best, and rarely settle for “good enough.” These qualities can be powerful strengths—but they can also leave you exhausted when the pressure to get it right starts taking over.
Maybe you overthink decisions, replay conversations, worry about disappointing people, or constantly wonder if you’re doing enough. Maybe you’ve accomplished a lot but still feel like you should be doing more.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and there’s nothing wrong with you.
I specialize in working with perfectionist and high-achieving teens and young adults who are navigating anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, academic pressure, and the expectations they place on themselves. I don’t believe perfectionism is something you need to get rid of. I see it as a superpower.
Therapy is an opportunity to understand your perfectionism, recognize the strengths underneath it, and learn how to use those strengths in ways that support the life you actually want. Together, we’ll build self-trust, confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion—without asking you to become less ambitious or care less.
As a therapist and dance/movement therapist, I believe your body has important information that your mind may be overlooking. My approach is warm, collaborative, creative, and practical, combining talk therapy with mindfulness and body-based techniques.
Therapy with me isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about feeling more comfortable being the person you already are.
You don’t have to choose between being successful and feeling good. You can keep your drive, your high standards, and the parts of perfectionism that make you who you are—while creating more space for confidence, connection, flexibility, and joy.

Matthew Heintz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life can be overwhelming can't it? Feelings of anxiety, self criticism and low or no motivation don't come from no where. I work with clients to create a space where they can be themselves and understand how to work with these overwhelming feelings. It is important to me to know the people I work with as more than their symptoms, I want to know what you value, who you care for and what you just find nifty. I won't act as just a therapist in our work. We are allowed to joke, cry, and talk about how cute your pets are, it's all a part of the process.

Maricia Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am a New York based LCSW with a passion and a vigor for helping others on their mental health journey. My therapy approach comes from a place of compassion where one of my main goals is making sure my client feel as supported, heard and empowered as possible. Therapy is not a one size fits all and the approach used with each client individually should reflect this. I help each client articulate their thoughts and feelings in order to get a better understanding of what is causing their depression/anxiety/stress/unhappiness. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, taking interest in the clients cultural background and experiences and tailoring a therapeutic modality that is the best fit for them.
Just like therapy, healing is also not a one size fits all and I understand that making the first steps into therapy, and towards that healing, may have been a difficult decision and I applaud your courage for making that first step. With your desire for change and my commitment to support and empower you, we will navigate a pace that works best for you to strengthen all aspects of your body and mind and the connection they have to each other.
