How Does Perfectionism Affect Your Mental Health?
Perfectionism can deeply impact self-esteem, often leading to anxiety, burnout, and chronic feelings of inadequacy. The pursuit of perfection can create unrealistic expectations, reinforce imposter syndrome, and erode your sense of worth.
In therapy for perfectionism, you’ll work collaboratively with your therapist to:
- Understand the roots of your perfectionistic tendencies
- Shift toward progress over perfection
- Cultivate self-kindness and realistic self-expectations
Our goal is to help you break free from harsh self-judgment and begin embracing your humanity.
Is Social Media Affecting Your Self-Esteem?
In today’s comparison-driven culture, social media can significantly influence how we see ourselves. Scrolling through curated images and lifestyles can lead to feelings of inadequacy, low self-worth, and shame.
We offer therapy to help you:
- Explore how online spaces shape your self-image
- Examine internalized societal pressures and appearance ideals
- Develop boundaries and build digital resilience
You’ll gain tools to reclaim your self-worth and relate to yourself with greater acceptance—online and off.
Are You Defining Your Worth Through Others?
When your self-esteem depends on external validation, it can lead to people-pleasing, codependency, and burnout. Therapy for codependency focuses on helping you rediscover your own value and set healthy boundaries.
We support you in:
- Identifying and healing patterns of over-reliance on others for self-worth
- Building emotional independence and self-trust
- Creating more balanced, authentic relationships
Together, we’ll help you reconnect with your inner voice and sense of self—one that’s rooted in your own values, not others’ expectations.
