Therapy for Anxiety & Perfectionism in NYC

If you constantly strive for excellence but struggle with self-criticism, constant worry, or burnout, you’re not alone. At Core Story, we provide therapy for anxiety and perfectionism in NYC, helping individuals like you reduce stress, break the cycle of self-judgment, and reclaim confidence and calm.

Understanding Anxiety and Perfectionism

Perfectionism often goes hand-in-hand with anxiety. While aiming high can drive achievement, it can also lead to:

  • Constant worry about performance or mistakes

  • Difficulty completing tasks due to fear of imperfection

  • Chronic stress, insomnia, or tension

  • Self-criticism and low self-esteem

  • Strained relationships due to overcommitment or rigidity

Through therapy, you can learn to balance high standards with self-compassion, reduce anxiety, and cultivate sustainable productivity.

The CoreStory approach for working with those experiencing anxiety & perfectionism

At CoreStory, our clinicians use an integrative approach that is adapted for each client’s specific needs. We prioritize actionable tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, among others, to help with symptom relief, while gently exploring the root of your perfectionism and anxiety. Our approach helps you not only manage symptoms but also develop resilience, self-compassion, and a more balanced way of living.
