FAQ
Perfectionism Counseling FAQs
How do I know if I’m a perfectionist?
If you set unrealistically high standards, struggle to delegate, or feel anxious about mistakes, counseling can help.
Will therapy make me less ambitious?
Not at all. The goal is to help you stay motivated while releasing the anxiety and self-criticism that hold you back.
What’s the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism?
Healthy striving is goal-oriented and flexible; perfectionism is driven by fear of failure or not being “enough.”
Do you offer online perfectionism counseling in Chicago?
Yes, we offer both in-person and online sessions across Chicago.
