Perfectionism
Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety and perfectionism often go hand in hand. Setting unrealistically high standards can lead to persistent worry, self-criticism, and stress that interfere with daily life and relationships. Therapy can help you build self-compassion, realistic goals, and practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety and break the cycle of perfectionism.

Perfectionism
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.

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.

Rochester's identity has been shaped by the legacy of companies like Kodak and Xerox — their rise defining the city's mid-20th-century prosperity and their decline leaving a post-industrial community grappling with poverty, population loss, and the psychological challenges of navigating a city in long-term contraction. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a major institutional mental health anchor — including one of the country's leading psychiatry departments — alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Brighton, Pittsford, and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Rochester's large Black and Latino communities, concentrated in the city's urban core, experience significant mental health inequities, and culturally affirming therapists are an important but undersupplied part of the local landscape. Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester contribute academic energy to a city that holds significant intellectual capital despite its economic challenges.
