Perfectionism
Long Island Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, CCTP
While striving for excellence can be a strength, chronic perfectionism often leads to a paralyzing fear of failure, endless procrastination, and a harsh inner critic that is never satisfied. I help high-achievers break free from the exhausting trap of "never feeling good enough." Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we will work to dismantle all-or-nothing thinking, cultivate authentic self-compassion, and help you achieve your goals without sacrificing your mental health.

Perfectionism
Carmen Ceballos
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
We provide therapy for perfectionism to support working women who feel stuck in cycles of self-pressure, overworking, and never feeling “good enough.” Perfectionism often shows up as fear of making mistakes, constant self-criticism, difficulty slowing down, and tying your worth to productivity or achievement. Using evidence-based approaches, we help you challenge rigid standards, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and develop a more balanced, sustainable way of approaching your goals. Together, we focus on building self-compassion, setting realistic expectations, and helping you move forward with confidence—without the constant pressure to be perfect.

Perfectionism
Christie Roe
Therapist, LMSW
However perfectionism and vigilance show up for you, I offer trauma-informed and neuro-affirming support with space to practice recognizing attitudes, beliefs, and systems that may no longer be serving you, and begin to release and repattern in your chosen direction. One technique I often use is known as memory reconsolidation, which creates transformative, lasting change through an open yet orderly process of unlearning and relearning with our response-abilities.

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
Loren Soeiro
Psychologist, Ph.D. ABPP
Perfectionism often appears as dedication to high achievement, yet privately it involves constant self-criticism and the fear of making mistakes. Rather than asking you to lower your standards, I would work to explore the origins of those expectations and the ways in which they function, in your life. The aim is to pursue excellence with flexibility—to maintain your ambitions while strengthening self-respect, balance, and sustainable motivation.

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.
