Perfectionism
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When new stressors arise, they can activate old patterns like perfectionism that make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening today while also working to understand how the past is contributing to present symptoms. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can learn techniques to reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Perfectionism
Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism is anxiety in disguise. It appears to be on your side, encouraging you to strive to be better. However, it is an unrelenting critic that tells you that you or other people/things are not good enough...ever. It can help you in the beginning to strive for excellence and over-achieve, to be recognized for your accomplishments and capabilities. But your perfectionism does not allow you to truly feel or celebrate all of your effort. Over time, it can look like exhaustion, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, depression, anxiety, procrastination, and feeling like you don't know how to stop from unraveling or being discovered as a fraud. It's a self-imposed prison that feels suffocating to be but even more terrifying to get out of.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings and tendencies such as perfectionism, anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them.

Perfectionism
Aguirre Center for Inclusive Psychotherapy
Psychologist
Perfectionism can appear as relentless self-criticism, overworking, fear of failure, or feeling that nothing you do is ever enough. We help clients explore how perfectionism may be connected to anxiety, identity, family expectations, cultural pressures, or the need for safety and acceptance. Therapy can support a more compassionate relationship with yourself while making room for rest, flexibility, and authentic growth.
