Therapy for Perfectionism in Houston

Therapist Marian Cooper sits on couch, smiling.

Hi, I'm Marian,

Struggling with perfectionism, anxiety, or feeling constantly overwhelmed?

 

As a Houston-based therapist, I help high-achieving professionals break free from the cycle of overworking, self-criticism, and burnout. Perfectionism can make it feel like slowing down isn’t an option—but constantly chasing impossible standards comes at a cost.I specialize in helping ambitious individuals embrace imperfection, reduce stress, and reach their goals in a healthier, more sustainable way.

Ready to break free from the pressure of perfectionism? Schedule a complimentary consultation today and start your journey toward balance and self-compassion.

 

Are you paying the price of perfectionism?

  • Do you set exceptionally high standards for yourself?

  • Are you goal-driven?

  • Are you sensitive to criticism and try to avoid it?

  • Are you always busy?

  • Do you dwell on mistakes and imperfections?

  • Are you afraid to fail?

  • Do you overthink things?

  • Are you stressed?

If you answered yes to many of these questions, you guessed it, you're a perfectionist. Perfectionism can be defined as a drive to achieve more, be more, and prove ourselves.

How Perfectionism Therapy Can Help

 

  • Reduce anxiety and self-judgment

  • Develop a growth mindset rather than a perfectionist one

  • Improve self-esteem and confidence

  • Find a balance between ambition and self-care

Perfectionists are driven and tend to be high achievers, and because of this, perfectionism often occurs in our relationships, our workplaces, and within ourselves.

Overcoming Perfectionism: A Path to Self-Acceptance and Growth

If you struggle with not feeling good enough, and you want to break out of unhealthy comparisons that hold you back, let's work together to let go of self-criticism and find balance. Embracing the freedom to be imperfect allows you to be your authentic self, but changing behaviors and thought patterns is a process.

Together we will tap into self-compassion, set realistic expectations, and increase opportunities for self-care.

My Approach to Perfectionism Therapy

Just like you, my clients come to therapy because they are stressed, suffering internally, fearful of failing, and have noticed a decline in their self-worth due to changes in their achievements. I can assist you in breaking the cycle of perfectionism.

 

In sessions, we will explore what perfectionism is, how it shows up for you, and work on changing perfectionistic behaviors. Overcoming perfectionism is a process and we will work together to identify your critical voice, decrease self-criticism, and lessen your urges to please others.

 

You'll learn that being imperfect is normal and acceptable.

 

My approach to therapy incorporates my sense of humor, is supportive, directive, personalized, and collaborative. I understand that my clients are motivated by results and I used a goals-based approach to help us keep track of progress.
