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.

Allison Falzone
Therapist, LMSW
Perfectionism often looks like high achievement on the outside while creating significant stress on the inside. Constant overthinking, fear of mistakes, difficulty resting, and feeling like nothing is ever good enough can take a toll on mental health and relationships. I help clients understand the underlying drivers of perfectionism and develop a healthier, more flexible way of relating to themselves.

Taylor Lee
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP, Ed.M., M.A.
I specialize in working with clients struggling with perfectionism, especially those who feel driven by self-criticism, fear of mistakes, or pressure to meet high expectations. Many of my clients have spent years holding themselves to rigid standards or tying their worth to achievement. Together, we explore the roots of these patterns, soften harsh inner dialogue, and build a more compassionate, flexible way of relating to yourself.

Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
