Release Perfectionism and Restore Self-Esteem
Most days, you feel like an imposter, comparing yourself to others and judging yourself harshly. You may even doubt that people would like you if they truly knew you.
While your perfectionism is sometimes praised by others, you know its downsides all too well—people-pleasing, poor boundaries, and always feeling like you’re performing, to name only a few. It’s exhausting. And let’s face it: perfectionism hasn’t exactly resulted in a version of yourself that you love. But you don’t know how to accept yourself—let alone like yourself.
Perfectionism not only undermines your self-esteem but also drains the joy from your life.
Moreover, perfectionism is associated with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. At Kindful Body, our mission is to empower you to release perfectionism, comparison, and self-doubt so that you can reconnect with yourself and your innate wisdom. We aim to help you uncover your personal strengths and values, move beyond people-pleasing, and establish healthy boundaries.
If you’re ready to embrace your authentic self, reach out to us to start therapy for self-esteem and perfectionism. No matter where you are in California, we’re here to support you via online therapy!

“Perfectionism is not self-improvement. Perfectionism is, at its core, about trying to earn approval and acceptance. Most perfectionists were raised being praised for achievement and performance (grades, manners, rule-following, people-pleasing, appearance, sports). Somewhere along the way, we adopt this dangerous and debilitating belief system: I am what I accomplish and how well I accomplish it.”
