Perfectionism
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.

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
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.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
You may be accomplished, dependable, and highly capable, yet rarely feel satisfied with what you do. Mistakes can feel disproportionately threatening, rest can bring guilt, and even meaningful achievements may provide only brief relief before the next internal imperative takes over. I work with high achievers who are tired of being driven by self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must continually prove their worth. Rather than simply trying to counteract perfectionist urges, we explore what perfectionism has come to mean and what it helps you avoid or protect against. The goal is to preserve your ambition while loosening the grip of the inner critic, so that your effort becomes a value-driven choice rather than a condition you use to determine your worth.

Perfectionism
Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
I have spent an extensive amount of time researching, writing and working with patients with perfectionism. I am aware and address the many challenges perfectionists face when entering therapy. In general, perfectionists may be prone to terminating therapy prematurely. For example, a self-oriented perfectionist may interpret seeking help as though they are flawed and end the relationships quickly. Socially oriented perfectionists may want to please their therapist and thus not reveal thoughts and feelings and feel dissatisfied with the therapy process. By discussing the therapy relationship and monitoring thoughts and feelings throughout the process premature termination can be avoided. Through the therapy relationship perfectionists may also develop and internalize new coping skills to manage expectations. For example, new relationship experiences that occur in the therapy relationship (ex: expressing needs or being vulnerable) may generalize to other social settings. Other oriented perfectionists who can learn to accept the imperfections of their therapist can learn to possibly be more tolerant of others.
I also work with perfectionist patients on learning to manage anxiety regarding expectations and teach self-acceptance and compassion skills using mindfulness and Buddhist influenced interventions. I also help perfectionists identify and manage maladaptive cognitions and patterns that lead to distress. I help perfectionists develop more balanced thinking. I help teach self-oriented perfectionists how to set boundaries and say “no” to others. Many perfectionists, particularly self-oriented perfectionists are reluctant to let go of expectations fearing this will impair performance. Managing perfectionism however, does not necessarily mean desiring less, but changing one’s relationship and response to when expectations are not met.

Perfectionism
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.
