THERAPY FOR PERFECTIONISM IN NYC
For the person who feels like nothing they do is ever quite enough.
Therapy for perfectionism, overthinking, high standards, fear of failure, and the pressure to always get it right.
You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy.
The pressure to get everything right can make it hard to slow down, feel satisfied, or fully enjoy where you are.
You Might Be Noticing:
Overthinking Decisions and Needing Things to Be Perfect
Setting Extremely High Standards For Yourself
Feeling Anxious, Critical, or Never Satisfied With Yourself
Perfectionism often lives beneath fear of failure, self-worth tied to performance, and early experiences where success felt like the way to feel secure, valued, or in control.
Together, we help you understand what is driving the pressure and why it can feel so hard to let go of it.

Tying Your Self-Worth To Achievement or Productivity
