Is This Service for You?
This service is for young women who feel exhausted from trying to do everything “right” and constantly putting others’ needs before their own. Many clients appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. If slowing down feels uncomfortable or saying “no” feels impossible, these patterns of perfectionism and people-pleasing may be impacting your career stress and overall well-being.
Perfectionism often shows up as constant overthinking, difficulty setting boundaries, and harsh self-criticism. You may feel guilty resting, anxious about making mistakes, or responsible for other people’s emotions. Over time, these habits can lead to burnout, resentment, and a loss of connection with yourself.
How We Help You Find Flexibility
At ROH Counseling, our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. We focus on reducing the control perfectionism has over your life rather than trying to eliminate your drive altogether.
- Evidence-Based Strategies: I integrate CBT, EMDR therapy, and mindfulness to help you understand where these patterns come from.
- Identifying Root Causes: We explore how these behaviors may be rooted in past attachment wounds or trauma.
- What to Expect: Sessions provide a supportive space to identify the beliefs driving your need to overperform and practice responding to yourself with compassion.
- Practical Tools: You’ll learn how to set boundaries, manage guilt, and tolerate imperfection so you can live more authentically.
- Specialized Expertise: We specialize in working with young women in their 20s who feel pressured to "earn" their worth through overperformance.
The Outcomes of Choosing Self-Compassion
Clients who engage in therapy for perfectionism often report:
- Mental Relief: Reduced self-criticism and less internal pressure to be perfect.
- Confidence: Increased self-trust and the ability to set healthy boundaries without guilt.
- Improved Balance: Less anxiety around rest and saying no to others.
- Stronger Identity: A sense of self that is defined by your own values, not the expectations of others.
