Therapy for perfectionism and self-worth in Katy, Texas
Therapy in Katy, TX for perfectionism, harsh self-criticism, people pleasing, and low self-worth with Hana Cain, LPC.
When your sense of worth is tied to doing well, being liked, or avoiding mistakes, even success can feel temporary. The next expectation often arrives before you have a chance to feel good enough.
Therapy can help you understand where these standards came from, challenge the beliefs that keep you stuck, and build a stronger sense of self that is not dependent on constant performance or approval. These patterns can also contribute to anxiety and overwhelm or periods of depression.
Therapy may help if you are experiencing
- Harsh self-criticism
- Fear of disappointing others
- People pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
- Feeling never good enough despite accomplishments
- Comparing yourself to others
- Perfectionism that contributes to anxiety or burnout
What therapy with me is like
Therapy with me is active and collaborative. We’ll look at the pressure to get things right, the self-criticism that follows when you feel you fall short, and the experiences that taught you to connect your worth to performance or approval. Together, we’ll work toward a more flexible relationship with expectations and a sense of worth that does not depend on constantly proving yourself.
