San Diego, California therapist: Tara McGrath, marriage and family therapist
Perfectionism

Tara McGrath

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You may not identify as a "perfectionist" because you're not doing things perfectly. In reality, people who struggle with perfectionism feel like they're never performing well enough, and they can always find the flaws in everything they do. These tendencies can also with correlate with procrastination. I work with people to improve their self-compassion and self-worth to allow for excellence instead of unrealistic perfection.

San Diego, California therapist: Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within, psychologist
Perfectionism

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Perfectionism is a nervous system in a constant state of threat — the brain scanning relentlessly for error, inadequacy, and judgment, driven by hyperactive self-monitoring circuits that never power down. Neurofeedback quiets this exhausting vigilance by retraining the brain's arousal and self-evaluation networks toward a calmer baseline. Standards don't disappear — but the neurological terror behind them does, replacing driven anxiety with genuine, sustainable motivation.

Perfectionism is the thief of joy! As a recovering perfectionist myself, I will be kind but honest with you when I notice perfectionism creeping in to your thinking and self-image. By gently rooting it out, I can support you towards accepting things as they are while remaining confident in yourself and motivated to make positive changes.
