Our therapists specialize in working with high achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, high-functioning anxiety, and self-criticism. We understand what it’s like to function at a high level while feeling mentally “on” all the time. Therapy here is a space to slow the pattern down, build steadiness, and create change that feels sustainable—without sacrificing your edge.

Currently Accepting New Clients
Erica Basso is the founder of Elevé Therapy & Co and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and relentless self pressure. She has owned and operated a private practice since 2021 and now leads Elevé Therapy & Co, a practice focused on helping driven individuals find greater clarity, balance, and self-compassion. Erica specializes in working with individuals whose drive and high standards fuel success but also create chronic pressure and self-doubt.
Erica’s style is active and relational. Therapy is a space to slow the pattern down, build clarity, and work through what feels stuck beneath the pressure to perform. Clients often describe her approach as grounded, supportive, and direct when it’s helpful.
In addition to leading Elevé, Erica has experience in substance use treatment settings, which informs her steady and compassionate approach to change.
When she’s not in session, Erica enjoys Pilates and time in the kitchen.
