Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism often looks like ambition, conscientiousness, or high standards, but underneath it feels like a persistent fear of making mistakes, disappointing others, or never being good enough. You may find it difficult to celebrate accomplishments, set boundaries, or feel satisfied even when you’re doing exceptionally well. It can be extremely isolating when everyone around you thinks you're doing just fine. Together, we’ll explore what drives your perfectionism and work on loosening the grip of self-criticism, so you can continue pursuing meaningful goals without feeling that your worth depends on getting everything right.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Perfectionistic striving can leave little room to rest, feel satisfied, or meet yourself with understanding when something goes wrong. In therapy, we explore the emotional and relational patterns beneath these demands and the meanings carried by success, failure, and being seen. The work supports greater flexibility and self-trust, allowing your standards to become part of a fuller, more livable relationship to yourself.

Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can look like ambition, discipline, and high standards, yet beneath the surface it can be accompanied by self-doubt, anxiety, and the persistent feeling that you are never quite doing enough. My approach is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy, helping clients understand the beliefs and patterns that keep perfectionism in place while developing a kinder and more balanced relationship with themselves. Together, we explore the fear of mistakes, the need for control, and the tendency to measure self-worth through achievement or external validation. Rather than asking you to give up your aspirations, we work toward pursuing what matters with greater flexibility and freedom. Through increased self-awareness, self-compassion, and practical behavioral change, clients can learn to tolerate imperfection, quiet the inner critic, and experience a sense of accomplishment without constantly moving the goalposts. The goal is not to become less driven, but to be able to strive, grow, and succeed without sacrificing your well-being in the process.

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.
