Anxiety, Perfectionism, and OverthinkingPsychologist, PsyD

About

High-functioning anxiety often shows up in the moments no one else sees. You may reread emails, question your decisions, look for reassurance, feel nervous about how your boss might respond, or struggle to unwind when you slow down. It can seem like everyone else has access to ease that feels out of reach for you. Pressure to perform only strengthens these patterns. I am Dr. Ben Gallenson, a licensed clinical psychologist, and I help professionals and college students understand and change the beliefs that fuel burnout and stress. I am also gay and find deep purpose in supporting gay, lesbian, trans, and nonbinary individuals. View 5 Photos I specialize in anxiety, perfectionism, and chronic overthinking. I help clients understand the patterns driving their distress and develop more grounded, effective ways of responding. My work is trauma-informed and evidence-based, drawing from CBT and ACT to reduce self-criticism and increase emotional steadiness in daily life.
