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.
LMFT AND Founder
Erica Basso
Specialities: High Achievers, Perfectionism, Anxiety, Burnout
Currently Accepting New Clients
Erica Basso is the founder of Elevé Therapy & Co and an LMFT who works with high-achieving adults navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and self-criticism. She specializes in working with high achievers whose self-reliance and high standards fuel success but also contribute to anxiety, burnout, and chronic self-pressure.
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, compassionate approach to change.
When she’s not in session, Erica enjoys Pilates and time in the kitchen.

Outside of sessions, she enjoys running, yoga, and reading.

As a former Division I athlete with experience in high-performance corporate environments, Bella understands the internal standards and intensity that often come with achievement-driven lives. She’s especially attuned to performance pressure, identity, and the “always on” mindset, and supports clients in building resilience that feels sustainable - not just productive.
