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.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who struggle with perfectionism, excessive self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must constantly achieve, perform, or get things right in order to feel worthy. Together, we explore the deeper beliefs and protective patterns that can drive perfectionism, including the fear of judgment, rejection, failure, or not being “enough.” Through a trauma-informed, somatic, and compassionate approach, I help clients develop greater self-acceptance, flexibility, and safety within themselves while learning to separate their inherent worth from their accomplishments. Our work creates space to pursue growth and meaningful goals without living under the constant pressure to prove yourself.
