Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When new stressors arise, they can activate old patterns like perfectionism that make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening today while also working to understand how the past is contributing to present symptoms. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can learn techniques to reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can fuel achievement, persistence, and attention to detail, and it is often rewarded in demanding academic and professional environments. Over time, however, unrelenting standards, fear of mistakes, overwork, self-criticism, or tying your worth to your performance can become exhausting and unsustainable. A setback, transition, increased responsibility, or period of burnout may eventually make it impossible to keep meeting the expectations you have set for yourself. When strategies that once helped you succeed stop working, it can feel as though your competence, identity, or life is beginning to unravel.
Working on perfectionism does not mean giving up ambition or settling for less. Therapy can help you understand what drives your perfectionism, distinguish meaningful striving from fear-based pressure, develop more flexible expectations, and respond to mistakes or limitations with greater perspective and self-compassion. The goal is to help you pursue excellence in ways that are healthier, more sustainable, and less dependent on relentless self-criticism.

Together we'll look at the ways in which perfectionism may lead to maladaptive or problematic behaviors, or otherwise take you away from your core goals and values. We'll focus on compassion and accountability, rather than meeting an impossible standard.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
While aspects of perfectionism have often been helpful for folks to achieve and get to where they are in life, it also has a shadow side rooted in fear of failure, shame, and anxiety. Additionally, our society often reinforces perfectionism in ways that make it difficult from which to un-tangle. Our work will hold the ways it has been helpful while also challenging you to gain comfort with 'good enough' approaches to life.
