Fufan Chiang
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Perfectionism isn't just a drive to do well; it is an exhausting survival strategy that tells you your worth is only earned by performing, pleasing, and never letting anyone down. Carrying the invisible burden of "never good enough" leaves you hypervigilant, deeply self-critical, and entirely disconnected from your own needs. Through specialized, body-centered trauma therapy, we will move past these rigid standards and quiet your inner critic. You can transition away from constant overextension and step into real, lasting self-trust and genuine, physical calm.

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.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I help clients recognize and work through perfectionistic thinking, self-criticism, and the pressure of unrealistic expectations that can create stress and burnout. Together, we explore the underlying fears driving these patterns and begin developing more flexible, balanced, and self-compassionate ways of thinking and responding. My approach is supportive and practical, focused on helping you reduce the constant sense of pressure, tolerate imperfection, and relate to yourself with more understanding. The goal is greater ease, emotional flexibility, and a stronger sense of self-acceptance in both daily life and personal goals. If you’re ready to step out of constant self-pressure, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.

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.
