What is Imposter Syndrome?
Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern in which individuals doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, despite evidence of their competence. It can affect individuals from all walks of life, including high-achieving professionals, students, artists, and entrepreneurs.
Signs and Symptoms of Imposter Syndrome:
- Persistent self-doubt and fear of failure.
- Feeling like a fraud, despite external evidence of success.
- Minimizing achievements and attributing them to luck or external factors.
- Fear of being exposed as incompetent or inadequate.
- Overworking and perfectionism to prove one’s worth.
- Difficulty accepting praise or recognition.
- Comparing oneself to others and feeling inferior.
- High levels of anxiety and stress related to performance.

Our therapists provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their feelings of self-doubt and develop strategies to overcome imposter syndrome. Some of the approaches we utilize include:
