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.

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.

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.
