Dr.Angela A. Karras

I specialize in working with high achievers and perfectionists who appear capable and accomplished on the outside but feel relentless pressure on the inside. You may hold yourself to impossible standards, tie your worth to productivity/performance, or feel like slowing down means falling behind. For some, this pressure shows up as anxiety, burnout or chronic self-criticism. For others, it can manifest in a complicated relationship with food, exercise, or body image. Where discipline becomes rigidity, “health” becomes control, and self-worth feels tied to appearance. I am licensed in both MA and NY. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and direct. I integrate structured interventions and practical skills with deeper insight-oriented work to help clients identify and shift the patterns driving perfectionism and self-judgment. You will leave sessions with concrete tools to build a steadier sense of worth and greater flexibility. Therapy offers space to step back and examine how past experiences and current pressures intersect. With greater insight comes choice and the ability to move forward with more intention, confidence, and authenticity. The opportunity for change is here, reach out and let's get started. Specialties: I work with teens and adults managing anxiety, high standards, and complicated relationships with food or body image. Therapy is collaborative and focused, grounded in both practical tools and deeper insight. Many clients experience reduced anxiety, increased clarity, and a stronger sense of direction early in our work
