Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perfectionism can be exhausting. It is easy to mistake for having high standards, but it is often an inner voice telling you that nothing is ever quite good enough, no matter how hard you try. During our sessions, we can explore where that voice came from, and why it thinks it is protecting you from judgement, failure, or fear. Together, we can discuss separating your sense of self-worth from your achievements, and accepting mistakes with compassion.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We work with control and perfectionism in hypnosis and hypnotic regression to uncover limiting beliefs and emotions and explore the root cause memory. Once we process this, there is often a release and a new lease on how we approach things. We remove this programming through the repetitive playing of our hypnotic recording to completely rewire and replace with the newly desired behavior. We work on your sense of self worth, self love and any hardwired belief systems that have led you to place, in many instances, unrealistic expectations that you have set for yourself so that you can still move forward daily with your goals, but so that you do it from a place of love, specifically, love for yourself. We often process guilt and shame and feelings of low self esteem that push individuals over the brink with the nealy impossible task of perfection. You are enough, always remember this. I provide you with tools you can use in your daily life to come back from a panic spiral or feelings of overwhelm, overextension, and burnout. This will return you to feelings of safety with emotional regulation and feeling good in your own skin again.

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.
