Therapy for men struggling with imposter syndrome.

Build confidence rooted in self-trust, not performance or perfection

You’re capable. You’re competent. But you still feel like you’re one mistake away from being exposed.

Most men who struggle with imposter syndrome aren’t lacking skill.
They’re lacking internal permission to believe in themselves.

It shows up quietly when
• success never feels like enough
• you downplay your accomplishments
• you assume others are smarter, more talented, or more put together
• pressure feels constant
• mistakes feel catastrophic
• you stay calm on the outside but panic inside
• you feel like you’re only “pretending” to be competent

You’ve heard to fake it till you make it.
What happens when you’ve made it, but you’re still having to fake it?

common signs of imposter syndrome in men

  • • overthinking every decision

  • • fear of being judged or found out

  • • perfectionism or avoiding tasks until the last minute

  • • difficulty celebrating wins

  • • feeling undeserving of opportunities

  • • chronic self-comparison

  • • assuming your success was luck

  • • fear of failing in front of others

  • • feeling like you have something to prove

Most men tell me

“No matter what I achieve, I don’t feel confident.”

why these patterns happen

A lot of men grew up with messages like

be strong

don’t fail

don’t fall behind

don’t make mistakes

don’t show doubt

So self worth gets tied to

performance

status

income

competence

keeping it together

So any wobble feels like failure,

any mistake feels dangerous,

any uncertainty feels like exposure.

Imposter syndrome isn’t a confidence issue.

It’s a pressure issue.

how I help

In therapy, you’ll learn to

  • understand the emotional roots of self doubt

  • break patterns of comparison

  • build confidence from the inside out

  • regulate fear and pressure instead of suppressing it

  • recognize your strengths without minimizing them

  • navigate perfectionism and procrastination

  • trust your competence instead of questioning it

  • build identity beyond performance

    This isn’t about “positive thinking.”

    It’s about understanding the emotional system behind your self-doubt.

you don’t have to keep proving yourself to feel worthy.

Confidence isn’t built through more achievement. It’s built through clarity, emotional awareness, and internal steadiness.
