Eve Picower
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
This may sound strange, but perfectionism is not perfect! Perfectionism is actually linked to high stress levels, procrastination, poor sleep, anxiety, depression and harsh self criticism, fear of failure, difficulty making decisions, and even interpersonal challenges. Does this sound like you? I hope you won't let perfectionism get in the way of reaching out to me for help.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to get things “just right,” often leading to stress, self-criticism, and difficulty feeling satisfied or at ease. In therapy, we’ll look at what drives these patterns and how they’ve taken shape over time. By developing a more flexible, compassionate way of relating to yourself, you can begin to ease the pressure, take healthier risks, and engage with your work and relationships in a way that feels more balanced and sustainable.

Allied Psychotherapy Group
Psychologist
Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. You may constantly second-guess yourself, fear making mistakes, procrastinate because nothing feels good enough, or struggle to enjoy your accomplishments. Our therapists help clients understand the beliefs and patterns behind perfectionism and develop a healthier relationship with achievement, expectations, and self-worth. Therapy can help you become more flexible, less self-critical, and more confident making decisions without needing everything to be perfect.

Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
As the eldest daughter and child of South Asian immigrants, I have worked extensively with Asian American clients who are recovering people pleasers and perfectionists. Perfectionism often overlaps with depression and anxiety, and part of the work we will do together is understanding and identifying which ingrained beliefs are contributing towards specific habits or patterns.

Brittany Speed, Hudson Valley Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Being driven, conscientious, and holding yourself to high standards can be strengths, but when perfectionism takes over, it can come at a cost to your emotional well-being and your functioning. You may find yourself struggling with avoidance of important tasks, harsh self-criticism, fear of making mistakes, difficulty relaxing, or a persistent feeling that no matter how much you accomplish, it’s never quite enough. Over time, perfectionism can contribute to anxiety, burnout, and difficulty finding satisfaction in your achievements. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help you recognize and challenge unhelpful patterns, develop a more flexible relationship with expectations, and build self-compassion. Together, we’ll work toward maintaining the ambition and conscientiousness you value while letting go of the rigid standards that keep you feeling stressed, stuck, or never quite good enough.

Lisa Botticelli
Psychologist, Ph.D., PMH-C, c-DBT
Together we'll look at the ways in which perfectionism may lead to maladaptive or problematic behaviors, or otherwise take you away from your core goals and values. We'll focus on compassion and accountability, rather than meeting an impossible standard.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I work with many high-achieving, hardworking individuals who often define their identity, worth, and sense of meaning through productivity, performance, and external success. While these strengths can lead to accomplishment and reliability, they can also create pressure, burnout, and a persistent sense of never feeling “enough,” no matter how much is achieved.
Perfectionism often shows up as self-criticism, difficulty resting, fear of failure, people-pleasing, or feeling anxious even during moments of success. Many clients come to me feeling exhausted by their own standards, yet unsure how to slow down or step away from the patterns that have helped them succeed.
In our work together, we explore the deeper roots of perfectionism- often shaped by past experiences, family expectations, or learned beliefs about worth and achievement. At the same time, we focus on practical ways to challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce anxiety, and develop a more balanced and compassionate relationship with oneself.
My goal is to help clients begin to separate their identity from their productivity, reconnect with what actually matters to them, and build a life that feels not only successful on the outside, but also grounded, sustainable, and meaningful on the inside.
