Perfectionism
Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety and perfectionism often go hand in hand. Setting unrealistically high standards can lead to persistent worry, self-criticism, and stress that interfere with daily life and relationships. Therapy can help you build self-compassion, realistic goals, and practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety and break the cycle of perfectionism.

Perfectionism
Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism is often less about high standards and more about fear—fear of failure, disappointing others, losing control, or not feeling worthy. You may find yourself overworking, overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastinating, or struggling to feel satisfied with yourself no matter how much you accomplish. While perfectionism may once have helped you feel safe, accepted, or in control, over time it can become exhausting and isolating. Therapy can help you better understand what drives these patterns while creating more space for self-compassion, authenticity, balance, and a more flexible relationship with yourself.

Perfectionism
Angie Yemma
Therapist, LCAT, BCDMT
You set high standards for yourself, but no matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough. Perfectionism can lead to anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, and burnout. Together, we'll work to quiet your inner critic, build self-compassion, and help you feel confident without constantly chasing perfection.

Perfectionism
Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I generally view myself as a "recovering perfectionist" and would be happy to support you in your journey with this as well! I find that empathy and validation go a long way with this, as well as a focus on radical self-acceptance and self-compassion. We may work on direct coping skills, adjusting your internal self-dialogue, and developing mindful self-compassion skills in a more formalized way as needed. I strive for all of my clients to accept themselves as "perfectly imperfect humans," as we all are.
