I believe that self-compassion is the antidote for perfectionism. I work with clients to heal from early traumatic experiences that may have led to the development of perfectionism as a coping mechanism. I help clients develop their overall feeling of self-worth and treat themselves with greater compassion to reduce perfectionistic tendencies.

Perfectionism

Liza Roth, MA, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Perfectionism isn't about doing things perfectly, it's about finding fault easily. Somewhere along the way, you came to believe that if you did things perfectly, you would be safe and free from worry. Instead, you are still full of worry and are just plain exhausted. Let's work together to figure out how perfectionism serves you, how it doesn't, and how you can find balance and inner peace.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Heidi Hartston, psychologist
Perfectionism

Heidi Hartston

Psychologist, PhD
Therapy can help you navigate the traps related to perfectionism, including procrastination, self-criticism, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, overthinking and fear of falling short. We can work to quiet the inner critic, address black and white thinking in evaluating yourself and your work, and find purpose driven motivation (rather than fear driven). Shifting your inner conversation can result in great relief and can unlock your creativity, reinvigorate your interest and have you feeling proud of your work and your skillset. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you to build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Perfectionism

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Perfectionism and Imposter’s Syndrome: Perfectionism can create the illusion of success while quietly fueling anxiety, self-criticism, burnout, procrastination, and fear of failure. No matter how much you achieve, it may never feel like enough. I help clients uncover the beliefs and experiences driving perfectionism and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and their goals. Together, we’ll cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and a more balanced approach to achievement. This work is about letting go of impossible standards and creating space for growth, authenticity, and genuine fulfillment.

West Linn, Oregon therapist: Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC, psychologist
Perfectionism

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC

Psychologist, PsyD
I generally view myself as a "recovering perfectionist" and would be happy to support you in your journey with this as well! I find that empathy and validation go a long way with this, as well as a focus on radical self-acceptance and self-compassion. We may work on direct coping skills, adjusting your internal self-dialogue, and developing mindful self-compassion skills in a more formalized way as needed. I strive for all of my clients to accept themselves as "perfectly imperfect humans," as we all are.

Perfectionism often develops as a way to manage anxiety, self-worth, and fear of failure. While it can lead to high achievement, it can also create pressure, rigidity, and dissatisfaction.

Redmond, Oregon therapist: Kristina Anzell, licensed clinical social worker
Perfectionism

Kristina Anzell

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPSC
You are used to putting in extra work to get it right. When you don't do something right the first time, you beat yourself up and then spend time learning, researching and then don't stop trying until you get it perfect. The issue... babies do not work that way. They are all different, they are not predictable and they are not able to be controlled. You are spending too much time and energy on something that is "supposed to come naturally" and it feels awful! Get the support you need!

 therapist: Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist, hypnotherapist
Perfectionism

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist

Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Perfectionism is not really about high standards. It is about safety. Somewhere along the way, the subconscious decided that being good enough, being beyond criticism or being in complete control was the way to be safe and accepted. That decision then becomes a daily tax: overworking, second-guessing, never quite arriving. RTT goes back to the moment that decision was made and updates the meaning underneath it. The standards can stay. What changes is the price you pay to meet them. Most of my perfectionist clients are women in leadership, founders or creatives. The work is online via Zoom and confidential.

Lafayette, California therapist: Nes Pinar Psychotherapy, marriage and family therapist
Perfectionism

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people don’t realize that perfectionism isn’t about doing things perfectly—it’s about feeling like anything less than what they had in their minds is unacceptable. This mindset often creates constant self‑criticism, pressure, and a sense that nothing is ever “good enough,” even when you’re working incredibly hard. I help clients notice these patterns with compassion and begin shifting toward a more grounded, accepting way of relating to themselves.

Santa Barbara, California therapist: Allie Michie, MS, marriage and family therapist
Perfectionism

Allie Michie, MS

Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Perfectionism often looks like high standards from the outside, but on the inside it can feel like never being enough. I work with clients to get curious about where that drive comes from, what it's protecting, and how to build a relationship with yourself that's a little more honest and a lot more kind.
