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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
