When a person demands perfection of herself or himself, anything less can feel like failure. Adia Gooden knows this from experience.

She shares those lessons in her talk “Cultivating unconditional self-worth.” Adia Gooden is a licensed clinical psychologist. She earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stanford University and her doctorate in clinical community psychology from DePaul College of Science and Health in 2013.

In this role, she provides individual, group, and couple therapy to undergraduate and graduate students.
