If you have excessively high standards, feel like nothing you do is ever good enough, are highly critical, are terrified of failure, and feel compelled to succeed out of fear, you may be struggling with perfectionism.

 

The cycle of perfectionism can be exhausting, emotionally draining, and rob you of enjoying your successes. You may be afraid to let go of perfectionism for fear that you’ll be settling for less and won’t ever be successful. However, research shows that shifting out of a perfectionistic mindset is the path to greater happiness and success.

 

In therapy, you will learn how to connect to a mindset that is high-striving, challenge negative thoughts, increase flexibility and self-compassion, identify unhelpful behaviors, and learn new ways of coping.

Our therapists understand that you want to do well and that the perfectionistic route comes with serious consequences that may be impacting your mental health. Please reach out to us so that we can help you work towards success in ways that energize you instead of wearing you down.
