Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Perfectionism often disguises itself as high standards, but beneath it is usually fear—fear of making a mistake, being judged, or not being enough. It can leave you overthinking, procrastinating, and waiting for the "right" time, the perfect plan, or one more revision before taking action. The truth is, there is rarely a perfect moment. Waiting for certainty can keep you from the very opportunities that help you grow.
Together, we'll explore the beliefs that fuel perfectionism, learn to quiet your inner critic, and build the confidence to move forward before everything feels perfectly in place. Growth isn't found in getting everything right—it's found in having the courage to begin.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
What begins as a drive to do well can gradually become an unforgiving way of measuring one's worth. Therapy offers a place to understand where those demands came from and why mistakes, disappointment, or falling short can feel so, so threatening. As that pressure becomes more understandable, perfection no longer has to do so much psychological work, and you can create more room to be ambitious without being governed by self-criticism.
