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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
