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.

Are you a perfectionist? Do your high expectations of yourself and others make you miserable? If so, I can help. I love working with perfectionists to help soften into self compassion and learn to live with more freedom and flexibility from entrenched patterns.

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.

Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Perfectionism can look like high achievement from the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. If your self-worth has become tied to productivity, achievement, or getting things exactly right, therapy can help you understand where these expectations come from and loosen their hold. We can work toward greater self-compassion, flexibility, and a sense of worth that does not depend on constant performance.
